Battle of Santa Liliana Turn Five

Turn four saw the French gain the upper hand. In turn five they tried to press their advantage. The Berg Lancers were successful. The French infantry, however, was stopped in its tracks.

The Berg Lancers pursue into the supporting 7th Queen's Own Hussars, defeating them and forcing them to retreat. This required the brigade to take a morale test which it failed. The lancers' horses were blown after two rounds of combat, but once they regroup they will be a real threat to the British right flank.


The 95th Rifles were able to repel the Lippe and Nassau battalions renewed attacks.


The 51st Regiment of Foot checked an attack by two French columns.

French skirmishers supporting the attack were ineffective.

The pucked back 7th Regiment of Foot masked the RFA.

Two battalions of the Confederation of the Rhine move to attack the Spanish.

 The Westphalians and Poles were unable to change orders and sat idle for the turn. The Spaniards, clearly the weakest part of the line, have been spared.
