It's been a couple days since the end of this game, so I'm trying to remember certain details. Its just true to form, after-action reports, the time honored challenge for participants on and off the tabletop.
The Battle was forming nicely for the Allies. On the left, they dominated some high ground while their opposition rolled too high to activate. This left the French vulnerable in march column taking some early hits from cannon fire.
In the center, the Allies, although cramped because of the wood on both sides, managed to get close to the crossroads. The Cavalry on the right floundered with one move allowance thus strateling the stream.
Using random terrain placement really put the Allies in a pickle. Having woods on their side of the crossroads forced them to bunch up into column of regiments. The stream on the right was fordable but still a hindrance for the cavalry. This gave me a good advantage over the AI opponent. In hindsight, I should have placed, when allowed, at least one of my opponents units into the open wood. Whether that could have been a deciding factor later on...?
PICS NOT IN ORDER
