Sikh War Campaign: 3rd Battle of Ferozepore

After two failed attempts to retake Ferozpore, the British have received reinforcements & came back for anther go.  

The Sikhs have strengthened their defences & reduced the length of front by pulling their left back behind the wadi.  

The Brits have formed up with their infantry & most of their artillery on their left & theri cavalry on their right.  This time it seems they intent to attack the Sikh's right.

The battle commenced with the British deploying their batteries while some of their cavalry advanced on their right.  The Sikhs pulled back the infantry from the trench line out of artillery range resulting in an artillery duel.  In this the greater number of British guns countered the Sikh defences & some of the Sikh guns were put out of action.

Later in the morning the British infantry (mostly Sepoys) began their advance. The Sikh infantry returned to their front line to meet them.

On the other flank the British cavalry deployed to pin down the Sikh left so it couldn't reinforce their right.

Next to the river the British Sepoys got the worst of the musket exchange & have fallen back behind their artillery which had advanced behind them.  A Sepoy attack on the redoubt was beaten off but  British unit has now attacked it's weakened garrison.  An exchange of musketry is continuing on the rest of the infantry front. 

We paused the battle until next week at 10pm.  That was after the 14th turn so 1pm battle time.  The Brits have so far taken only one short length of trench & the fight remains very much in the balance.
