More Sharp Practice Turns

I finished three more turns in my Sharp Practice game today. That takes me through turn seven. Things have heated up significantly. Both sides now have clearly defined lines and have engaged in controlled volleys of musketry. Casualties are mounting. The most important development in turns six and seven is that three British officers have been hit. This has lowered their moral points from eleven to seven and will dramatically impact their ability to control their units. On top of that, three fresh groups of French legere infantry are coming into the action and could prove to be the decisive factor.
