11 May 1813 – Northern Spain – End of Tordesillas Campaign

Tactical Map

This campaign was a much needed victory for Wellington.   He won six of the seven battles, and the seventh was a draw.   Despite this Soult put up a determined defence right to the end.  

Once more supplies played a major part in the campaign, and constant guerrilla attacks on the French depots and lines of supply assisted Wellington to achieve such a convincing victory.

Strategic Map
