Hello all,

The Rebels & French advanced, but their artillery support failed to many times whereby the British cavalry in combination with artillery caused many casualties at that side….

After a few hours the british took the field!

Last week I set up my armies again....

The Generals had a short "Parlez" and then head off back to their camps.....

No fighting this week........
