towns are shown. Major terrain such as
mountains, rivers and large forests are also shown. The red roads connect capital cities and are
main supply routes.

Leon Phase Strategic
Map
Each
square on this map is 5 miles and the size of one scenic square on the wargames
table. There are nine squares to each
one on the map of North Spain, and also nine scenic squares on the wargames table.
This
map is the first step to transfer from the campaign map to the wargames table.
There
are nine cities or large towns shown.
The major cities are shown with a cathedral symbol, the rest with a
group of buildings. Walled cities and
towns are shown.
The
secondary roads are added in yellow.
These connect cities and major towns.
They are secondary supply routes.
Finally villages and large farms have been added. These are not named, but will be on the final
wargames map.
This
map is used for campaign movement and to show tactical movement on the campaign
diary blog.
Leon Phase Start
Deployment
The
initial deployment for the Leon Phase of the 1813 Campaign is as shown. Only
one corps is allowed in each square, and one corps can deploy on one scenic
square on the wargames table.
A
corps can move three squares in one campaign day providing they use a road.
Three
French and three British corps are within one day’s march of each other. Both armies have one corps in support.
When
a corps enters an adjacent square to an enemy corps a battle is declared. The empty square between them is “no man’s
land”. When the battle is transferred
to the wargames table there is always at least one square between the two
corps. This is 24” on the wargames
table, which is slightly longer than long range artillery fire and light
cavalry charge move.
