With its 44th issue, Alea continues its combination of a magazine devoted to wargaming and military history with a complete wargame included in the issue.
The featured game in this issue is La Coruña–Elviña 1809, covering the battle fought on 16 January 1809 during the Peninsular War. The game focuses on the clash between the British forces commanded by Sir John Moore and the French army during the campaign in north-western Iberia.
The game uses the La Sombra del Águila system, a generic system designed to simulate Napoleonic battles at grand-tactical level. The series covers a range of battles from the Peninsular War of 1808–1814.
