About the Game

From the Rules booklet:

Wellington in the Peninsula is a strategic level, area movement system wargame of the Peninsular Campaign of 1808-1814, during the Napoleonic Wars.

Wellington in the Peninsula consists of nine separate and complete Situation Games, of from six to twelve Game-Turns each and one Campaign Game of 72 Game-Turns.

Wellington in the Peninsula is played on a map of the Iberian Peninsula and Southern France which has been divided into distinct geopolitical areas to regulate movement.

In addition to the basic rules of the game, there are a number of optional rules and variable historical versions which may also be played out, thus permitting Wellington in the Peninsula to be as simple or as complex as the players desire.
