Napoleonics: The Brits defend a ridge again

Brits: (Mike & James) 3 divs of 4 battalions, 1 div of 4 hussars plus 3 guns.
French: (Jim) 2 divs of 6 battalions, 1 div of 2 hussars & 2 chasseurs plus 3 guns.

The Brits (on the left) set up first defending a line of hills & farms with a stream in front of part of the line with their cavalry on the far flank.   The French deployed second concentrating on their right.

The French rush forward on their right.  The Brits begin to advance their right as the French set up a battery to defend their left flank

The left of French assault on the far ridge was disrupted by British fire but their right pushed the left of the British line back.  The French cavalry pushed the Brit cav back, but not decisively.  

The French have regrouped and attacked again with foot and horse on the right.  The Brits have supported their left with Scots firing across the creek but still haven't come to grips with the French left.

The British cavalry has broken and their inf on the ridge reduced to half strength.  The French battery is still keeping the British right at bay so the French haven't lost a division.  If they can break one more battalion on the Brit left the Brits will fail army morale (having lost exactly half their divs while the enemy has lost none).  

On the far flank the Brits manage to beat off a cavalry attack and extract their two battalions over the creek to safety behind the men in skirts.  The French left is about to break.

The French chance of victory was lost by failure to finish off the British left and the French general concedes.  Once again the French attacked the Brits with a sound enough plan but just couldn't nail the buggers.

Mike wanted to add a close up of his newest troops.
