Rolica 17 August 1808 - The First British "battle" of the Peninsular War, Rolica was really just a delaying action by Delaborde's heavily outnumbered French divison to allow Junot time to assemble his forces for the decisive battle. The British, under Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington), are moving south from Obidos, while the French are waiting for them at Rolica. Will the British attempt a direct assault on the French position or attempt an outflanking manoeuvre? Will Delaborde hold his ground or fall back to a stronger position? Will Loison arrive in time to reinforce the French before Delaborde is overwhelmed or forced to beat a hasty retreat?
