What is Albuera 1811: A Tactical Overview about?
Beresford and Soult faced off at the Battle of Albuera on May 16, 1811. Soult surprised Beresford by attacking with 8,500 men on the Allied southern flank. A Polish lancer charge nearly broke the British line. After over an hour of close combat between French columns and British battalions, torrential rain ended the battle with both sides remaining in position. Soult failed to fully commit his reserves to break the Allies, and withdrew the next day, giving Beresford a tactical victory.
