The Battle of Bassignano Sept 27, 1745

After a successful ruse of marching towards Piacenza to draw away the Austrians from there friends the Peidmontese near Bassignano; De Gages (Spanish) and Mallebois (French) do a surprise crossing of the Tanaro River. King Emmanual, thinking the Tanaro unfordable deploys his army on an extended front, some 6 miles, to cover the logical crossings. This scenario covers about 3 miles of that frontage. The ground between Bassignano held by the last of the Austrian contingent and the village of Riverane. Historically it was a smashing Franco/Spanish victory as the Soanish cavalry rode thru the Piedmontese cavalry opening the flanks up to envelop the two villages already named. The King was forced to withdraw his forces and regroup to protect further loss to his Kingdom. Opening deployments Piedmontese on the right and the Franco/Spanish on the left. The Austrians holding Bassignano. Piedmontese cavalry in the center. Piedmontese holding the primary road to their rear. Peidmont
