Round 3
EPIC09 Sorauren (28 July 1813)

Kfan (Allies) 5 banners, 61 blocks lost
Viridovilas (French) 15 banners, 27 blocks lost

Bussaco :
Gottoman (Allies) 12 banners 63 blocks lost
Hawkmoon (French) 13 banners 65 blocks lost

A fierce battle with astonishing troops surviving several fires or melees (like Guard Grenadiers or a french LC in the centre).

There was a general advance from the French and the Allied was on the hills resisting the french pressure inflicting severe losses. French Artillery supported very well the different offensives. A well balanced cavalry fight in the french left.

2 allied generals were killed in action (one by sharpshooting and the other in melee)

At last, a light infantry conquerred a hill.

The last action took 2 entire turns and Allied was very close to win.

May the hell be with those damned dice !!!

Round 7
Aspern
Mark McG (Allies) 13 banners, 60 blocks lost
mantra (French) 16 banners, 60 blocks

The battle was manly fought on the French left and center. The Austrians pushed hard for Aspern, badly mauling the French, but taking a few licks as well. The center saw some early cavalry action with the Austrians wiping out the French arty and CUs over several rounds. The French dice were terrible here. The French were getting a very thin around Aspern, and were about to lose the town's VPs when a timely play of BC and Elan were enough to take the battle.

Smiled indeed.. this was the only Allied win of this scenario. Well done!
I had lost faith that it could be done.

I think Max is on vacation (usuall thing in Italy in August!) so let me briefly report our Raab game. I do not have log (Max, pls add once you are available) but the screenshot from the end of our game.

Round 1 EPIC05 Raab (14 June 1809)
mk20336 (Austrian): 11 banners, 61 blocks lost
Viridovilas (French): 17 banners, 40 blocks lost

We finished playing like 2-3 weeks ago, so my recollection is vague:
- I scored tons of medals for scout
- Max got 3 of my leaders plus one escaped off board - shame on those Austrians
- my whole left wing disappeared in the initial phase of game

Max (Viridovilas) has retired from this tournament, which creates something of a scoring dilemma.
If I could ask that the remaining 3 matches get played ASAP, since the outcome of those matches might throw a bit of clarity on the finalists

Justin and I are at 6-6 in our Aspern-Essling scenario. We hope to finish it by the deadline.
