Stephen of course used his British and Portuguese and I fielded the French defenders.
I suffered from low ADC activations twice rolling only a single success but did therefore get to use the Chief Of Staff CinC command (ended up with 6 ADCs afterwards when used).
We both had terrible dice roll for our Artillery batteries with both suffering Fatigue Casualties, with mine also going low on ammo requiring expenditure of a Caisson.
I launched to counterattacks (using Redeploy order to move out of deployment zone) I did manage to chase of a couple of British Infantry Battalions (one in full retreat the other forced to withdraw) but despite rolling 6 CDs for retreat casualties I only inflicted one !
My left wing Brigade had failed however in a spoiling Infantry Assault and I had several units damaged.
We only had a minor debate over how Withdrawls work (not sure of some of the wording) but otherwise game turns fairly whizzing by now in the main, slowed only by our discussions over merits of army and unit traits (I feel British are pretty good as they get an extra CD every time they fire being drilled and have a nice counterattack ability but French not far behind)
Another fun outing with this well improved rule set.
French left wing anchored on Osma village (note Artillery Assault ordered for my battery which saw them take 1 Fatigue go low on ammo and cause no hits !)
nice game
