The Marquis and the Duke: round 2

July 1701.  Nicolas Catinat Marquis de Sadd, former Marshal of France now in the service of the Grand Elector, has withdrawn before the advance of the forces of the Duke of Cummerbund now serving the Royal House of Anhalt.  The Marquis has quite the reputation!




The Game


The Duke stands his ground, but sends a flanking force to his left.

The Marquis begins an ill considered advance 


The Hussars app Temptations to disrupt the Marquis advance, and a fight in the village between Dragoons and Musketeers.



The critical cavalry fight.  Those damn Cuirassier eventually win.

And the Dragoons fall back.

Near the end as the Marquis line is flanked, and he suffers casualties in the centre.

Really nice game, I got so involved I forgot to take pictures!  The Marquis has one last chance to defeat his rival in the last of these three games this week.
