This was a good battle. Mitra managed to hold up my movement to the West. Though I was not in a hurry.

Great session, sadly my game crashed right when action started

Great session, sadly my game crashed right when action started

Hi Zarco, do you remember if appeared some specific error when it crashed? Is it crashed the moment your men start to shoot? It was a shame, I needed your help!



About the battle, it was very intense. Mitra's cavalry division blocked our Guard division and Asid's cavalry division around the eastern objective. We couldn't move from there but we raised a lot of points from that objective. This was the first objective we seized and was also in a very strong defensive position with a river just to the west.

The western objective was the second we occupied with Zarco's division. Objective wasn't in a good position as the eastern one but zarco seized the ridge north of it to protect it.

The middle one was where the fight was very very hard. I had there one infantry division supported on the right by light cavalry and on the left by heavy cavalry which in a first moment was sent to support Zarco's position on his rear right. I also recalled three heavy batteries in the centre because the enemy pressure there was very high.

Colbert, which in a first moment was ordered to protect Zarco's left, was ordered by me to move on my left in the centre. He came at the right moment and helped a lot in repulsing an attack between me and Zarco's division which I couldn't manage properly after he dropped because I couldn't see so well in that direction. I was very busy in the middle against two prussians infantry division supported by heavy guns and cavalry but I had a good position on top of a hill slightly east of the central objective which help me a lot.

Prussians held the central objective losing it from time to time. We held two objectives, the eastern one and the western one, always during the battle so we won. We inflicted more casualties to the enemies also because we played defensively.

Good game!
