This game was played over two sessions. The battle started with a fire fight in the center. After that the Russians launched a cavalry attack. It took some time for the French to bring up their heavy cavalry to participate in the battle. The Russians pinned the French right flank in squares and defeated some French units in the center. The French launched an attack on the left with the old guard and the remaining full strength infantry units. The Russians reacted and destroyed the old guard. A leadership card played by the French helped in destroying three Russian units in one turn. The score at this moment was 8 - 7 in favour of the French. The Russians had bad luck in what was to be their last turn, after which the French scored the final two hits.

Hey Guys: I'm not sure where to jump in here. Is it too late for a newcomer to join in the fray? Or, is anyone interested in a pick-up game?

Thank you and happy New Year!
