		In the affair of the passage of the Nive, on the 9th of December, 1813, and the battle of St. Pierre d’Irrube on the 13th, Foy distinguished himself, and in the hard fought battle of Orthez, on the 27th of February, 1814, he was left apparently dead on the field.
		In March 1815, he was appointed inspector general of the fourteenth military division; but on the return of Napoleon, during the 100 days, he embraced the cause of the emperor, and commanded a division of infantry in the battles of Ligny and Waterloo, at the last of which he received his fifteenth wound.
		In 1819, he was elected a member of the Chamber of Deputies, the duties of which he discharged till his death in November 1825; and from his first entrance into the chamber, was distinguished for his eloquence, and quickly became the acknowledged leader of the opposition—From Foy’s History of the Peninsular War.

		Orthez is situated on both sides of the Gave de Pau and has a bridge, which the enemy held with great jealousy.
		It was his intention to have fought the battle that afternoon, had the 3rd Division been able to reach its position in time.
		We saw the enemy very strongly posted, both as regards the elevation and the nature of the ground, which was intersected by large banks and ditches, while the fences of the field were most admirably calculated for vigorous defence.

		The eleventh installment of this long-running tactical level Napoleonic series features a fairly obscure battle--Orthez, fought in February 1814 in southern France between the Anglo-Portugese army of the Duke of Wellington and a French force under Marshal Soult, Duke of Dalmatia.
		It is a fairly small battle--only a few divisions on either side, and almost no cavalry (the ground makes it difficult to employ cavalry, so historically Orthez was primarily an infantry battle) so it is ideal as an intro to the system.
		Scenarios cover parts of the main battle and the full battle, which looks like a British romp, though there are variants you can try to make it a bit easier for Soult's boys.
