Vitoria - June-21 1813
Epilog

#normal

The battle has been fought in poor condition for the frenchs, due to the incompetence of the french head 
quarter. No real plan was established, no measure have been tacken to destroy the bridges and most of the 
units were not correctly deployed when the battle started. The french have been then subjected to the day 
and have not been able to take the initiative.
   
The battle begins in the South where the french are repulsed. Puebla is lost and the allied progression 
cannot be stopped. Elsewhere, the Rio Zadorra is easily crossed by the column of Welligton that can attack 
the Alto de Jundiz. But Dalhousie has lost his way and take so time to attack from the North. Meanwhile, 
Graham pushes Sarrut and attacks Durana and Arriaga. 

At about 10H00, the frenchs reacts by sending reinforcement to the threatened wings. No reserve is then 
avaiblable at the center. At 12h00, the french army is separate in two part: one part if face to the North
and the second to the West. AT 13h00, Durana is lost with the road to Irun. To conserve the last retreat 
path Joseph orders a withdraw. Gazan precipitates his withdraw and the disorder increases. When the two 
retreating parts, pursued by the english cavalry, meets around Victoria, congested by many cars, the disorder
becomes a general rout. 

The battle ends with a great allied victory: the frenchs lost 8000 men and all their artillery. The allies
lost 5000 men but the pillage of the french stocks disperses 10000 men, which prevents an efficent pursuite 
and saves the french army from a complete destruction.
