Dice make for interesting conclusions, especially in solo games. In this instance, the French heavy battery rolled a double six when it fired upon a Russian half battery across the way at long range. In General de Brigade, a double six necessitates looking at a different table: the result was two extra casualties upon the battery and it had to immediately limber up and retreat! Well, this was quite fortuitous for the French as a significant portion of the Russian defensive works were now undefended. A large Russian regiment that had been in reserve moved up to plug the hole, but two French battalions charged, passed their morale checks and forced the lone regiment to retreat. A breakthrough had been achieved at long last. A fresh French brigade was in place to exploit the success and the Russians were forced to abandon their town. The French had sustained very heavy casualties, but they had captured a Russian horse battery and bested the Russian cavalry. The day was theirs.
