Cavalry combats at Sellerhausen
Ney and Napoleon have sent the French cavalry to try stop the Prussian advance in the center and left flank.
The Carabiniers have taken the Prussian East Grenadiers by surprise, preventing them from forming square, but the Prussians at last did manage to reject the French cavalrymen.
In the French left, the Heavy Guard Cavalry is not achieving any real success againts the Allied. The Grenadiers a Cheval de la Garde have been rejected by a joint attack of the Prussian and Austrian Hussars.
At this turn, the daring Allied cavalry now attacks the Guard Cavalry, with the Austrians charging the 'Gods' and the Prussian Hussars attacking the flank of the Empress Dragoons.
The fight on the flank will be decided soon!

I certainly hope that the French Guard cavalry will see off the Austrians & Prussians!

Great game Rafa. How do you manage to keep track of so many units on the tabletop when playing solo? Does it involve a lot of record keeping?

Hi Lee
ReplyDeleteIt is easy: I shot many photographies every turn (around 7 or 8) and almost inmediately I write the narrative. After the battle, the best pictures are chosen and the narrative is polished

See that's the problem Rafa - after Russia you just couldn't get any decent French cavalry. The Carabiniers are a good example - they got chased off by Prussian militia hussars (oh the shame!) - so no wonder they can't ride down infantry out of square. The Carabiniers of old would have carved through 'em like a hot knife through butter! I bet the Emperor shaking his head in despair!
