Notes

This was a cracking game - the first NapoleonicMaster game I've played in a while. It fought really well, the battle really fluid. Each turn brought an ebb and flow and there were key and decisive moments throughout - the British Light Dragoons, against all odds, seeing off the French Cuirassiers & the Rifles, supported by Line, re-taking the hill were most noticeable.

 

 

Great stuff - can't recommend this ruleset highly enough!
