Ocana is the current game, Set up as per the Oman starting position.
The German division entertained the Spanish over the ravine while the French divisions and cavalry worked round the Spanish right.
The Spanish cavalry fought well before collapsing, which gave Ariaga time to turn the supporting divisions to their right.
Currently the French infantry are battering Spanish squares while the cavalry hover round forcing the Spanish into square.

What next? All the Peninsular battles or start again at Austerlitz?

Finally finished Waterloo, as you don't know it. All the French and all the Prussians turned up. The French were on the edge of defeat As the Prussian VI corps attacked the ridge on the French left. Then a charge by I reserve cavalry, led by the 7th cuirassier smashed the VI corps cavalry then as the French I corps infantry joined in the Prussian VI corps collapsed, taking most of III corps with them.
In the night a charge by the French guard cavalry saw off the damaged remnants of the Prussian I and II corps.
The British, having seen off the French I corps in the morning just sat on the ridge. Knowing that they could not be outflanked on the right Wellington brought up the reserves from Hal so as dawn rose on the 19th Napoleon saw he was now outnumbered with fresh troops, so withdrew before the Prussians could re-group

I am currently negotiating to re open in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent about the beginning of August. There will be a single table devoted to Napoleonics, although I will try to fit in smaller gaming tables, if there is room. If all goes well I will publish a phone number to ring on when I am ready to open.
