Russians: Chris, Nick & Steve. 3 infnatry brigades of 6 inf & 1 art + 1 cav brigade of 2 cuirassiers & 2 dragoons. Command 7.
French: Jim, Renfrey & Mike. 3 infantry brigades of 4 line, 1 legere & 1 art + 1 cav div of 2 cuirassier & 2 hussar.
The French are on the left in this pic. Mike v. Steve on this flank. Renfrey v. Nick in the centre & Jim v. Chris on the far flank.
The French attacked on their left holding their outnumbered right back.
The French got the worst of the cavalry clash & fell back as their infantry charged the hill left of centre.
Due to poor command the Russians were unable to exploit their initial success in the cavalry fight & legere & artillery in & behind the house started whittling them down as the French cavalry tried to rally.
The Russian cavalry continue to be worn down by French fire as the infantry fight rages around the farm & in the wood. Renfey is adding some support on the right of Jim's infantry brigade.
The Russian right has broken - both infantry & cavalry. They have lost 2 out of 4 brigades while the enemy have lost none, so the Russians fail their army army break test. Steve's half of the Russian army can withdraw with minimal casualties.
