The Battle of Maida

Fought in Italy on 4th July 1806 an exclusively British force defeats a First French Empire force made up of Poles, Swiss and French troops. Plenty of skirmishing during the day and then a 15 minute scrap at bayonet point at the climax. It ended in a decisive British victory but Stuarts little expeditionary force might be considered wise not to have followed up on the success.

Maida, although small, provided a much needed morale boost to the heavily strained 3rd Coalition where Russia and Austria were suffering some horrendous defeats to that short fat Corsican.

The Battle of Cryslers Farm

An assortment of 800 British Regulars and Militia defeat near 8,000 US troops along the St. Lawrence River in Ontario. This battle would be 'Very Hard' as the British infact attacked and routed the US force while outnumbered roughly 7 to 1. No small feat.


The trouble is with the really epic battles like Salamanca, Borodino, Morongo and all them is that you can only get about 6,000 troops on screen and then its totally unplayable.
