Part of Friedland in Canberra

Visiting SteveD in Canberra.  A scenario based on Ney's attack at Friedland.
Russians: Stve.  French: Jim.
"Figs are Steve's 15mm.  Rules Camp Cromwell M2M.

The French infantry are emerging from the woods. Their cavalry are on their left.  The Russian infantry are in a low ridge with most of their cavalry on their right & some cossacks on their left.
The French have advanced their centre behind a skirmisher screen.  The Russian cavalry have advanced on both flanks.  French infantry have advanced in line on the flank of the cossacks trying to outflank them. 
On the near flank the cosacks withdrew after taking heavy casualties from French fire.
In the centre the French jnfantry have closed up behind the skirmish line.
On the far flank the Russian cavalry was  swept away by a shower of hot dice & the French cavalry Are wrapping around the Russian right as French infantry move up in support. 
On the near flank the cossacks have been broken by artillery & the French infantry are wrapping around the Russian left.
On the far flank, Dragoons are pinning down the Russian right while hussars sweep across the Russian rear.
In the centre, the French infantry lines have moved up to engage with musket fire.
The Russian position with both flanks overlapped & hussars in the rear are hopeless & they concede the battle.  

The French had a good plan blessed with hot dice.
