French v. Brits & Allies Part: Dispositions 2

 Starting from the Allied left. One independent cavalry unit from the Kings German Legion. A Brunswick infantry battalion with a Brunswick jeager skirmish unit. One Belgian infantry battalion that I classed as "inferior". The Dutch-Belgian carabiniers (gorgeous Front Rank miniatures) giving an extra punch to the brigade. All supported by a Brunswick Horse Artillery gun. The Allied brigade commander is classed as "Steady".

The center is four battalions of British infantry. One classed (23rd Regiment of Foot) as " Superior". The commander is classed as "Steady "

The cavalry brigade (The Blues, Scots Grey's and Inniskillings) are not fairing well with a "Dithering" commander. The Duke of Boots will have to keep an eye on them. All supported by a gun from the Royal Horse Artillery. 

The far right is an independent cavalry unit of British hussars. 










The defending French are positioned as follows. Starting from their left. An independent cavalry Lancer unit. I believe the 5th Line. A brigade of cavalry consisting of Chassuers, Empress Dragoons ( classed as "Superior ") and the Dutch Red lancers. Commander in "Steady".

The center is being held by four infantry units. Two from the Guards, both classed as "Superior ". Chassuers of the Guard and a Battalion of Middle Guard occupying the walled farm. Supported by a gun from the horse artillery. The commander is classed "Steady ".

The right is four battalions of infantry with a small voltiguers skirmish unit. One artillery piece and an independent cavalry unit. The commander rolled poorly and was classed as "Dithering". I'm pretty sure this same fellow commanded this brigade with Poles and Swiss, the last game I had. Time to split them up next time!

Napoleon himself is on the field to command and hold the crossroads.

I put small white dice on the "Dithering " classed brigade commanders base just as a reminder.
