Battle of Santa Liliana Turn 3

 I completed turn three of my solo battle today. It was VERY eventful.

On the allied right flank, the commander was able to change the orders of his cavalry brigade from hold to attack. They have advanced toward the lancers, who also trotted forward to meet them.

A Westphalian battalion forms line to bring more muskets to bear on the enemy.

The other Westphalian battalion charged the guns. Cannister tore through the dense formation taking out five figures. The result of the morale test was less than zero, so the men in white were routed.

Because the Westphalians had to retreat, the brigade had to take a morale test. It failed. The remaining three battalions had to pull back 30 inches and were unformed!

The empty space created by the breaking of the brigade.

The victorious Spanish guns.

However, the Confederation of the Rhine brigade had much more success. Two of the four battalions were able to withstand the closing volley of the 95th Rifles and close to contact. This is the Lippe battalion. They have driven back the Rifles, but they are unformed on the other side of the wall.

The Nassau battalion was also able to drive back the elite riflemen.

On the French right, Gillery's battery of RFA rolled a double six when it fired upon the 4th battery of the 6th Artillery Regiment. The battery sustained three hits, had to limber up, and then it retreated 12 inches. The divisional commander was nearby and had to take a "Risk to General" test. He has been wounded and also had to retreat 12 inches to receive treatment.

The empty position where the French battery once stood.

The 2/36th Ligne was able to withstand a volley from the 1/3rd (East Kent) and close. The mele resulted in a draw and will continue on in the next turn.

The rest of the brigade is poised to attack.

A very enjoyable turn. These rules work well for me to play solo. I just like the feel of them. Something pleasantly unexpected happens every game. This turn had two such events, the "double six" and the failed brigade morale test.
