7 Years War

French (SteveD, Dave & Chris) v. British (Jim, Mike & Mark): 

A generic scenario:
Both sides had 3 infantry divisions of 4 units, 1 elite battalion, 2 guns, a hussar brigade of 2, a dragoon division of 4 & a heavy cavalry division of 4.
The French initially hold the town with 2 infantry divisions & artillery. The remainder of their force can come on their rear table edge after turn 3 at locations secretly nominate at the start.  The British then deployed up to 12" in from their table edge. 

The French deployed a division & their artillery in the village with another infantry div & their hussars in reserve behind it.
The British deployed their heavy cavalry, dragoons & artillery on their right, their hussars on their left & infantry in the centre.  They started a general advance thought their right flank infantry was late getting started.

The French have moved their reserve infantry up into the village as the Brits advance.

The British infantry are concentrating their attack on the far end of the village while engaging the near side with musketry & artillery.  The French Hussars have attacked the left of the British cavalry advance as the remainder of the French cavalry come onto the table in front of the them.  The reserve French infantry have come on down the road. 

The French won the cavalry fight decisively.  The surviving British dragoons have retreated, followed up by French dragoons.  But the French decline to press on when the British artillery is deployed in support of their dragoons.  The British hussars have crossed the creek in French rear causing some of the French infantry to turn to face them.

The French heavy cavalry & hussars are redeploying to their right to counter the British hussars. The British infantry are gradually pushing the French out of the village.

The British hussars held off the first attack by the French heavy cavalry, but have retreated over the creek.  The French grenadiers drove the Brits off the bridge, but one French infantry division has broken & the other two are on the verge of it.  The French decide to use their cavalry victory to cover the retreat their retreat & concede the battle.

The British lost the cavalry fight, but their cavalry still made a major contribution to their victory as they succeeded in their task of preventing the French cavalry interfering with the infantry attack on the village & delaying some of the French infantry reserve.
