Les Maréchaux IV: Joseph 1809

An operational-level wargame covering the 1809 Talavera and Ocaña campaigns during the Peninsular War. Following a British victory in northern Portugal, Anglo-Spanish forces advance toward Madrid while French forces under Joseph react from a central position. Players maneuver corps and reserves, coordinate allied armies, and manage competing threats across the theater. French forces can concentrate Victor and Sebastiani alongside their reserves against the main Allied army, while the Spanish force under Venegas approaches the capital from the south.
