Maipo - A Liberators HOTT Scenario

Posted 4 Mar 2012

Setting: Maipo, South of Santiago, Chile; 5 Apr 1818

This scenario is in the Liberators book (Fletcher, 2005, p. 66-67). These are my notes for playing the scenario with the Liberators HOTT.

Map

The original map is 4' wide and 6' deep. The Liberators HOTT table is 2' x 3'.

Order of Battle

I've adapted the order of battle for Liberators HOTT.

Liberators HOTT Order of Battle

  • Patriots
    • 1 x Cavalry General @ 2
    • 11 x Infantry @ 2
    • 6 x Cavalry @ 2
    • 1 x Hero (Commander of Horse Grenadiers or Lt. Col. Freire) @ 4
    • 3 x Artillery @ 4
    • AP = 52; Break Point = 26
  • Royalists
    • 1 x Cavalry General @ 2
    • 8 x Infantry @ 2
    • 5 x Cavalry @ 2
    • 1 x Hero (Lt. Col. Ordonez) @ 4
    • 1 x Hero (Col. of the Burgos Battalion) @ 4
    • 2 x Artillery @ 4
    • AP = 44; Break Point = 22

Victory Conditions

Normal HOTT victory conditions apply, i.e. destroy half the enemy AP. 

The onus is on the Patriots to attack. So if neither side destroys the enemy army by inflicting AP losses, then the Royalists win.
