Sikh War Campaign: 2nd Ferozepore continued

We paused the battle at about noon last week & continued tonight.

The Brits continued their attack in the centre.
On the left the Sikh cavalry withdrew from the wadi line to avoid having the brigade broken by artillery fire.  On the right the Sikhs continued to try to motivate their cavalry to attack the British flank guard.

While the British attack in the centre is making some progress, they are also losing men themselves  but unlike the Sikhs, they cannot afford the losses.

The Sikh infantry brigade in the centre is broken, but with a mass of Sikh cavalry in reserve behind the gap, the Brits decide they have done enough & break off the action.  

On the far flank, the Sikh cavalry have finally got into action & broken the Brit's irregular cavalry allies, but it is too late to make any difference.  The Sikhs only follow up as far as their original defence line., the Brits superiority in artillery dissuading them from wanting to pursue. 

The Butcher's bill favours the British with 20 Sikh units broken to 13, but the bulk of the Sikh casulaties were irregular infantry, their best troops are still intact, & they they can afford the losses while the Brits can't.  The Brits have just 15 units left on the field to the Sikh's 36.

So the we go back to campaign mode & hope to have another battle to fight next week.
