Poland 1807

One of my favourite Black Powder battles is Russian v French.  This was a scratch battle French defending  2 players against 4 Russians.The 3 French foot Brigades, one chasseurs and one dragoons.  The Russians had 6 foot Brigades, 2 cuirassier, one dragoons and one hussar.

The French held the Russians back from Noon until 15.30hrs, when two french foot brigades broke however we we still able to march off the table. All the Russian cavalry had been mangled to some extent with their foot thrown into disarray
