A sad day for the Spanish. After some preliminary maneuvering, the French launched a cavalry charge against the artillery unit on the Spanish left. It was destroyed with minimal loss by heavy cavalry, although the accompanying light cavalry unit was bruised by the grenadiers. Meanwhile, the French had advanced their artillery towards the Spanish on the hill and were about to let rip with a short-range bombardment when the Spanish carried out a cavalry charge of their own. They were not so fortunate, destroying one artillery unit while all three cavalry units were reduced to one block. The guerrillas failed to blunt the French riposte which eliminated both Spanish heavy cavalry units. Another French cavalry charge put pressure on the Spanish left and centre, forcing a line infantry unit into square. Bereft of cards, the Spanish were not able to see off the French cavalry unit next to the square, and 2 bayonet charges against the Spanish right and centre later the French achieved a 7-3 victory. It could have gone the other way as 4 French units were down to their last block, so it was a closer game than the scoreline suggests.
