Cheers Pete, another entertaining write up and campaign. Long live the Comte D'el Monte........no doubt soon to be awarded the title "Prince le Rio Sagres"........And perhaps even a Marshal's baton!!!

a dispatch to Paris regarding the clear failings of the Westphalia light horse will also be sent, making it clear the comte has performed his duties despite the somewhat dubious command of the supply column!

D6:
3,2,4,2,4,1,1,551,5,2,
My right flank will consist of both voltiguers skirmishing forward supported by the medium gun, these will be followed by both Swiss line units with the cuirassiers held in reserve ready to exploit a gap or counter any cavalry that may appear
The 1st garde will screen the village in skirmish order with the hannoverian chasseurs in support. The light gun will provide supporting fire at targets of opportunity and shell The buildings.
The 2nd garde will demonstrate on the left flank, skirmishing/sharpshooting with the hussars in reserve, they will fall back on the centre if pushed..... Ie.a reversed flank.
The comte will be leading the reserve cuirassiers, the 2ic will join the 1st garde in the centre

a steam tank sounds very vulnerable to Pete's hordes of exploding 1 pt skaven!!
Those handgunners are looking excellent

I'll split the supply points evenly with Craig, using mine to recover cavalry units prioritising the cuirassiers!!
The vanguard will be Dutch hussars, voltigeurs of the garde and 1st coy of the garde with the light gun. The swiss voltigeurs and hannoverian chasseurs will be in support, with the cuirassiers heading up the main column followed by the swiss line and medium gun, the remaining line troops will follow.

I know you might point an accusing finger but I did only field one per army/period. It was Andy who shifted it up a gear and is ready to field entire units of priests.
Soon to be countered by hordes of hafling McGregor militia

2,3,1,2,4,5,6,4
Engage on masse, with the line troops forming close order to give volley fire. Once softened up the cuirassiers will advance against the lights
-
I think there should be a limit to how many priest figures are allowed in the club!!
The militia look good though, ripe for soaking up volley fire!
-
Craig can have half the supply points available.
The Swiss voltiguers will push on against the lights with the gun and line troops providing them with support. The cuirassiers will also renew their assault once the infantry have softened the lights up.
The main column can move up with the Garde voltiguers in the lead ready to provide more support if needed.

I'll spend as many points as I can reordering the disordered cavalry units. The cuirassiers will pursue the british, the vanguard will be reordered and will consist of both voltiguers supported by the 1st Swiss line and light gun.
We'll also requisition anything left of value in the village and round up any civilians (especially priests)!!!!

papist troops 😫

Lord Long of Pennington certainly does!!
Sounds like you know it rather well, Rik.......

3,1,2,2,3,3,4,6
I'll use the voltiguers and cuirassiers to screen the ford , to prevent any British units advancing towards me. The 1st and 2nd garde de Paris will hold and recover. The gun will support the voltiguer.
I'll hold my current position and stay away from the fire and await the main column
-
ah well, .....more garde de Paris it is!
-
the 1st garde will continue to skirmish against the 1st lights . The voltigeurs of the garde will join them supported by the guns which will fire in support or at any targets of opportunity across the river. The 2nd garde de Paris will secure there flank but not advance into the village.
The cuirassiers will remain in support but will pursue the lights if they break, but stay clear of the village......no mad british style charges !
-
those empire figures have really come out well
-
red trousers are more than enough to see off the royal navy!
-
I'll scout the area and observe the village and await the main column moving up
