Battle of Torres Vedras

As we enter the winter of 1806 Ottomans and prussians join the fight: both deploy their forces on the frontier, with the germans grabbing Hannover and the turks failing to conquer Transylvania (the stakes were probably too high). The russians invaded the Ottman Empire by west and east while Kutuzov conquered Saxony, the austrians with wheir british allies invaded southern France while the french attacked Portugal and reinforced their borders. The british meanwhile deployed a sizeable army against Castilla and defended Lisbon. 

 Wellington is entrenched in a line of defences on Torres Vedras, barring the path to Lisbon

 Earthworks and buildings defend the objective

 Ney leds the attack

 The french massed their cavalry on the center and right

 With most of their infantry advancing onto the objective

 The light artillery decided to kamikaze down against the built up area

 But soon retreated from english steel

 The cavalry scrum in the right would see both sides depleted and neutralized

 Ney is wounded in the cavalry scrum

 Elite grenadiers move forwards

 The elite british infantry brings the pain on the enemy vanguard

 Meanwhile the magnificent scots greys cut some french footsloggers to pieces

 Nothing seems to stop the imperial cuirassiers

 The chasseurs charge the scots, but merely bounce back

 The light dragoons hold somehow, putting both units hors de combat

 The dragoons flank the british riders who face about in an orderly manner

 The mauled british cavalry falls back to the defences

 In a daring move, the elite biritsh infantry attacks and routs the first line of invaders

 Wellington is however wounded in the fight

 More dragoons charge the infantry who cooly open fire and proceed to draw the combat

 The french masses have displaced to the left, but the regiments there keep a lively fire

 The thin red line whitstands the frog onslaught

 As the last french attack is repulsed Ney sounds the retereat

 Britannia triumphans!

The french lose two units and retreat to Castilla
