Watch “Learning the system with Espinosa, Day of Battle,” a how-to-play guide for Napoleon Invades Spain: Peninsular War – Part I on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Homo Ludens on YouTube:

Join us this Sunday for an in-depth playthrough of the "Espinosa, Day of Battle" scenario from Kevin Zucker's Library of Napoleonic Battles series, specifically from the "Napoleon Invades Spain" box. Together with Pierre Vagneur-Jones, we'll relive the crucial moments of Napoleon's 1808 campaign in Spain, where his attempts to subdue the Iberian Peninsula faced unexpected resistance. Set against the backdrop of Napoleon's mobilization of over 100,000 seasoned veterans following early setbacks in Spain, this scenario captures the intense struggle between the French forces and the Spanish Army of the Left. We'll explore the intricate strategy and tactical depth that this brigade-level wargame series is known for, diving into historical detail while showcasing the dynamic gameplay that has made Library of Napoleonic Battles a favorite among Napoleonic war enthusiasts. Whether you're a history buff or a wargame aficionado, don't miss this chance to witness the clash of empires on the tabletop! Support the show on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/homoludens1871

About Napoleon Invades Spain: Peninsular War – Part I, from BoardGameGeek:

After the failure of Napoleon´s attempted takeover of Spain in early 1808, with a crushing defeat at Bailén in July with the surrender of a whole Corps under Dupont, plus defeats also at the sieges of Gerona, Zaragoza and Valencia, the French armies were almost back to their border, the Spanish army on the move, and a British army had landed in Portugal under a new commander, Sir Arthur Wellesley, future Lord Wellington. Action was needed, and Napoleon mobilized 100.000+ veterans from Austerlitz, Jena and Eylau and lead them personally, aiming to definitely conquer Spain. He did not know that a hard fought six year war had just begun. The Library of Napoleonic Battles TLNB-series, evolved from the very successful Napoleon´s Last Battles, combining a high level of historical detail and beautiful and accurate maps with excellent playability, is covering, at Brigade level, (almost) every major Napoleonic battle. Napoleon in Spain is focusing on the first and second British interventions in Portugal and Spain in 1808 and in the two major battles of the second campaign of the "Guerra de la Independencia" in 1808. Battles simulated are Vimeiro - Wellington vs Junot. Portugal Reprised (21 August 1808) Espinosa de los Monteros - Victor vs Blake and the Spanish Army of the Left (10-11 November 1808) Tudela - Lannes vs Castaños. Defeat of the Spanish Army of the Right (23 November 1808) La Coruña - Moore's Rear-Guard vs Soult (16 January 1809)
