Well by this point I've played near half a dozen games of Lasalle...usually with me defending with my British. For this next game, I wanted to try to attack instead and my opponent Mike suggested that we try this with me attacking from one narrow edge to another. Very sporting of Mike don't you think?

The field looking toward where the French would defend.

The French line with Polish Lancers on the French right along with two Elite french Battalions and on the French right three Conscript battalions, artillery and Dragoons in reserve.

The British mass on the left with Brunswickers following in support. The British light cavalry follow just on the other side of the stream waiting for the infantry to open up a hole.

The British advance on the left and mass all artillery against thes Poles and French veteran infantry,

The Poles charge in and catch one battery, but the other withdraws and the British line easliy form square with thier ""+1 Vigor" Sub-Commander's guidnace. The Poles pick up some disruption but seriously stall the attack of the best British infantry.

In the center, the Brunswick elite battalion emerges from the village while the Brunswick Hussars and Light Dragoons exploit a small gap to press into the rear of the Polish Lancers.

With the Poles stalling the British effort on the left, the Brigade to the right of the village, supported by some Light Dragoons must press against the French Conscripts.

The Brunswickers try to push in the center, but find the fields very slow going.

On the Bristh lef, it's a "standoff" the Poles can't break the British squares and the squares can't must enough fire power to run of the lancers.

On the Britsih far right, an full assault is finally pulled off. Surely, the French Conscripts will break!

On Conscript battalion does break, but the others, even when in square, mange to repules the better British line battalions.

Thus the battle ends on turn 19 as a draw. The British attack on the left never got through the Polish Lancers, the Brunswickers in the center were largely mired in the muddy fields whic reduced their speed and combat power when they finall attacked. The British right saw limited success, but it came too late in the day.

Well...the good news was it was not a loss...making this the first game that Tom did not lose playing Lasalle. He must be getting better!
