In addition to 20 carefully devised scenarios of varying size and complexity, this book contains a concise introduction to the theatre of operations and an integrated chronology of battles and campaigns, showing where the scenarios fit into the wider events. The scenarios and orders of battle are intended for use with Pen & Sword's own Napoleonic wargame rules, Grand Battery, but they are easily adaptable for use with other leading systems.

This book has been designed in an attempt to take the time of effort out of organising war games set in the Peninsular War in Spain and Portugal 1808-1814. There is an introduction to the theatre of operations and a narrative of the various campaigns, placing the scenarios into their historical context. The scenarios and orders of battle are primarily intended for use with Pen & Sword’s Grand Battery Napoleonic war game rules, but are probably adaptable for use with other rule sets. There are 20 scenarios on offer here, varying in size and complexity, but each based on historical engagements involving British, French, Portuguese and Spanish forces. Each scenario is accompanied by a very small size map, which in fact is of limited use to the war gamer. The maps are the only illustrations in the book. Alternative orders of battle are provided, allowing for the scenario to be played ‘in the grand manner’ or as a scaled down version for a quicker game. Campaign rules and a system for generating one’s own hypothetical scenarios are also included.

enthusiasts will find this book a very valuable assistant, but it is also useful to a wider readership, particularly to those who are considering adopting wargaming as an absorbing hobby.
The book's structure is very logical and easy to follow. The clear text is supported effectively by many illustrations, including charts, tables, sketches, maps and battle guides.
