The combat of Castrejon 18 July 1812 - Variant scenario using gun sections, 10 minute turns and an alternative pdt. The British rearguard, consisting of the 4th and Light Divisions supported by Anson's cavalry, was in danger from the approaching French army, including an outflanking force advancing via Alejos, so Wellington himself led Bock and Marchant's cavalry to assist the rearguard's retreat. Meanwhile, he sent the 5th Division to Torrecilla de Orden to safeguard the flank of the retreating force.
