Rules: Our Marathon to Mafeking house rules.
The Empire is on near side.
Both sides have advanced their left wings.
On the far flank cavalry are slogging it out on a narrow gap between the woods. In the centre the Empire is advancing. On the near flank the Swedish cavalry is having command delays.
On the far flank the Empire is gradually getting on top of the Swedish cavalry while the narrow cavalry front allowed them to use some cavalry to support their infantry on the ridge where it has gained the upper hand. In the centre the tercios are in hand to hand combat. On the near flank the Sweidsh cavalry is still dilly dallying.
The left end of the Empire's infantry attack suffered badly from Swedish musketry & artillery & has been broken. But the left end of the Swedish line is also in bad way.
The Empire has finally beaten the Swede's left wing, but the their own left centre has also collapsed.On the near flank the Swedish cavalry has finally charged home, but is not doing well.
The survivors of the Empire's victorious right wing are on their way across the rear of their centre to help their left flank. But the the Empire's left has more than held its own & the Swedish left flank cavalry is beaten. Although the Empire's centre is a mess, they have won on both wings & the Swedes concede defeat.
