We will see you soon on the field of battle General Ciampo  :bonaparte

This was a great battle. I was the CIC. My division got hid hard by an excellent manoeuvre by the AI  :Shocked_2

After a fierce battle, I managed to take back the ground I had lost with General Colbert in support.

It was a great victory with difficult terrain.

The objective was to take and hold the 2 objectives in the north. One in Ligny and the other in St Amand

I took the first objective and placed my artilley battery NW of the Ligny objective and started to pound the enemy. I could not see the enemy to the NW.

I realised the enemy were trying to flank me so turned to face them in the North and NW. At he same time I sent 1 brigade to St Amand to defend it and maybe use them to flank the enemy....

I was on a ridge. I did not realise how many enemy troops were coming to attack me from the NW. They had artillery..Lots of it!. They rushed me and pushed me off the ridge. I lost cohesion. I called a retreat.....

I managed to pull some of my brigade back south over the river. The rest were lost! It became clear that this was a major push!. I recalled my troops from St Amand.

I sent a courier to General Colbert. I needed his assistance. This situation was not good for me.

General Colbert arrived. I pushed the enemy hard. They fell back. They started to loose cohesion. The day was ours.

Our losses were slightly less than the enemy. It could have been higher as we were attacking a strongly defended fort. We did manage to take the 2 objectives and force the majority of the enemy to fall back.

A classic zulu double-flank by the AI!  ??? :French sodier with flag

I've had too much overtime and exhaustion after work to play much mutiplayer anything of late, but I still enjoy the reports. :)

This has a good AI which has surprised us on many occasions  :shocker

You are always welcome to play with us my friend  :thumbsup

Oh...This shot is for you Jason... :happyhappy
