We both choose Flank March as our strategy but French converted to Flexible Defence, just as well as they had 2 separate Cavalry Commands had he retained the option.
Interesting game overall and we discovered that Superior is a decent 'trait' to have the equivalent of Veteran.
Large units of Conscripts are quite effective with 3 Skirmish dice and 6 shooting dice.
We both found it tough to not be Driven Back when trying to enter combat, think we really need to spend more time shooting before charging.
I had 2 units of Veteran Dragoons (Allied Russians) facing 2 French Dragoons of which only 1 was Veteran and so each unit rolling 6 dice each in combat.
Of course I managed to roll 2 hits on each whilst Stephen done 5 on one and 4 on other so both my units Wavered/Spent and retired to his both Disordered/Spent, 'luckily' (har de har) I retired further then his Pursuits so survived.
System is pretty slick once you get nuances in head and fairly brutal overall as befits a competition style/finish in 3 hours type game.
My right flank, I held my Conscript Landwehr back in support but would have been better putting them in front line as large and superior so roughly as good as my small Average Drilled Musketeers.
