Previous Page | Next Page

On turn 9 the armies concentrated, the Spanish and Russians in Barcelona and the French and Sardinians two squares north. The French and Sardinians advanced cautiously towards Barcelona, and on turn 11 surrounded the city and attacked some outlying Russian positions. On turn 12 they assaulted the city itself, capturing it and destroying much of the Spanish army in the battle. With little or no opposition left before them, the Sardinians marched to Tarragona on turn 13 and took it without opposition on turn 14, the defending Spanish militia disbanding before action.On the Atlantic coast, both sides regrouped for a time after turn 8. On turn 9, the French pushed south from Pau, catching and destroying two Spanish brigades in the mountains; a column moved south from Bayonne on turn 10 as well. The French were content to advance to the border and did not attempt to cross into Spain; the Spanish made one attempt to move north towards Pau, and also send a column towards Bayonne, but the French were able to contain the advance without serious fighting, and the campaign ended with the Spanish army just north of the border.
