Bussaco 27 September 1810 Ney's Assault - Following Massena's orders to attack once Reynier's corps had secured the ridge ("sera maitre des hauteurs"), Ney deployed Loison's division on the right and sent it directly up the hill towards the village of Sula. Meanwhile Marchand's division, deployed on the left, marched up the main road towards the convent of Bussaco. In the actual battle, Mermet's division was held in reserve and would see little action, but this scenario allows the French reserves to be committed. The Bussaco4 scenario is a more accurate representation of what actually happened, but is very tough for the French side against a human opponent.
