Napoleonic Battle - Prussians versus French

After a long hiatus I have returned to playing Napoleonic battles with my old friend Andrew R.  Normally Tuesday evenings is the best for both of us, we were scheduled for this evening but the G20 had other plans for Andrew.  Was going to put off till next week, but Andrew decided that it was best be strike straight away, probably less chance of me finding an excuse to put of a good flogging!

Right as mentioned in another post we use the WRG rule set Wargames Rules 1685-1845.  Yes they are 30 odd years old, but I don't have a problem with them, neither does Andrew.

Here is my Prussian List for the day.

I'm hoping Andrew will supply me his French list which I shall include as an edit.

Here are some photos of the day.  Needless to say I was flogged good.  My die will be binned, as they failed on all fronts except one, where on barrage from the right flank artillery butchered 6 out of 12 French troops.  Pity I could not keep that sort of luck up!

My opponent Andrew and his French!

My left flank advances.

My right flank decide to stay put and let them come to us.

Advance, always move forward, unless the artillery spoil you day.

Right flank continue to observe the French advance.

Advancing to engage those French.  Cavalry ready to charge.

Lancers (raw) not happy to see French cavalry opposite them.

Dragoons peel of from flank to support the Lancers.

Finally movement from the Prussians on the right flank.

Lancers countercharge the French dragoons.
Prussians learn that not all charges ram home.

Death by musketry.  Flank certainly lost.
