CAPITÁN is a selection of rules designed to play battles between small groups of troops, such as advance recognition, convoy escort, guerrilla actions, raids on small towns, border posts, incursions into enemy territory, actions against advanced camps, and all those situations where specific tasks were assigned to a few troops of their units.
This is a translation of Capitan Scenario Pack - Scenario #8.
Capitan scenarios are designed to be played on 60cm square game board, adjust as necessary if using a larger game board. To designate the location of troops and terrain in a scenario the game board is divided into four quadrants; NorthWest(1), NorthEast(2), SouthWest(3), South East(4). (For more details see Scenarios)
This scenario outlines an action involving the Chasseurs de Montagne who were the subject of a previous post on this blog covering their history and uniform and represents the historical action at Venasque that was covered in this post Roquemaurel and the Chasseurs de Montagne.
