 ====== Map ======
+{{:wargames:sevilla:elronquillo_terrain.jpg?direct&600|}}
+The large area of high ground to the west of El Ronquillo is to be treated as rough terrain, as is the wooded area further west. This reflects the nature of the landscape in the sierra.
+The walled olive grove to the east of the town is also rough terrain. All other areas of the map are good terrain.

+===== Deployment and Orders =====
+==== French ====
+The French must spread their forces thinly and stand on the defensive. The 100e Ligne will garrison El Ronquillo, holding two battalions to the rear. The 21e Legere will hold the heights to the west. The cavalry will remain in reserve ready to exploit any opportunities to push the Spanish back.
+==== Spanish ====
+The Spanish plan is to sweep to right and use their superior numbers to outflank the French while pinning them to the front and holding the cavalry in reserve. Ballasteros' second brigade will deploy furthest to the right to lead the sweep around the French position. Next in line to the left will be Ballasteros' third brigade, then Contreras second brigade and the artillery opposite El Ronquillo itself. The cavalry and Ballasteros' first brigade will be held in reserve to left to be deployed as opportunity presents.
+===== Result =====
+Despite a tenacious resistance the French are beaten after the Spanish break through in the centre and take control of El Ronquillo village. Pepin withdraws in good order covered by the dragoon brigade. A more detailed report of the action is [[http://www.4harrisons.com/battlechronicler/ElRonquillo2/ElRonquillo2.html | here]].
