NWOL Fall 2005 Campaign

Southern Front: Turns 1-5

Previous Page | Next Page

Meanwhile, in the south, two parallel movements were underway. Along the Mediterranean coast, the French army had moved south to attack the Russians near Barcelona, while along the Atlantic coast, the Spanish army was moving north to secure the passes of the Pyrenees south of Bayonne and Pau. On turn 3, the French fell on a Russian force north of Barcelona, which they outnumbered more than 2 to 1, and shattered it. The remaining Russian troops fell back on Tarragona, and on the following turn the French captured Barcelona. To the west, the Spanish army was advancing in two columns. Finding only weak opposition, they pushed forward through the mountains and entered French territory. The defending French forces abandoned Bayonne and concentrated against the Spanish column heading towards Pau. On turn 4 the Spanish entered Bayonne, but the French inflicted a sharp defeat on the column approaching Pau. Outnumbered, however, the French were forced to retreat from Pau at the end of the turn. On turn 5, the Spanish concentrated around Pau, while the French fell back towards Toulouse. The Russians raised new troops at Odessa and Sevastopol, and prepared convoys to bring them to the scene of battle.
