 The campaign starts in March 1810. The French have conquered Andalucia, and having reached as far as the walls of Badajoz the V Corps of Marshal Mortier has retreated back over the mountains to Seville. While the remainder of Soult's army is engaged in the rest of Andalucia and with the siege of Cadiz, Mortier's corps (with some additions) garrisons Seville and western Andalucia, while watching the approaches across the mountains from Extremadura.

 The infantry divisions of Ballasteros and Contreras from La Romana's Army of Extremadura. The Spanish force has also been allocated a small brigade of cavalry from the Army's limited mounted resource. General Copons y Navia will land at Ayamonte on 1 April 1810 with a small force from Cadiz to gather recruits and dispersos with the intention of creating a further division near Huelva. Their initial depot is Badajoz, but they have the option to move this to Ayamonte with supply provided by the British Royal Navy once Copons has landed. The depot hospital is initially in Badajoz, but can also move to Ayamonte.
