Description

Vittoria, is a two-player, brigade-level simulation of the great battle fought on 21 June 1813 in northern Spain.

British, Portuguese and Spanish army under General the Marquess of Wellington broke the French army under Joseph Bonaparte and Marshal Jean-Baptiste Jourdan near Vitoria in Spain, eventually leading to victory in the Peninsular War. The dramatic defeat of the French army by Allied forces under Lord Wellington ended Napoleonic dreams of conquest in Spain.

One player controls the Allied side, composed of British, Portuguese, and Spanish forces; the other player controls the French side.
