THE BATTLE OF CARRION, 1809

     We began the Battle of Carrion two weeks ago.  It is a fictional battle depicting what could have happened had Sir John Moore decided to attack Marshal Soult's exposed II Corps after the battle of Sahagun.  In this battle, Soult has taken up a defensive position around the town of Carrion while he awaits possible reinforcements.  He has two infantry divisions and a cavalry division, along with his corps reserve artillery.
     Moore's army consists of three British infantry divisions, a reduced cavalry division, and a large mixed division under Romana.  They spread out and begin their advance towards the French position.  Here are the photos from the first night after two turns.
