Battle of Eckwelt - Afterthoughts

As night falls, Maurice de Saxe, escorted by the Cuirassiers du Roi, triumphantly enters Ekwelt

The first thing to say is that the new Command & Control system was all we hoped it would be. It provided a sufficient degree of uncertainty without allowing the lopsided swings of my previous card-based scheme.
I did not keep a record of how many pips we each received, but I think any edge to the French was minimal. My opponent felt the pips fell evenly...naturally.
So what can I blame my loss on, especially bearing in mind that the defeat was pretty comprehensive?
Certainly, the terrain greatly favoured the French, as the woods seriously disrupted my formation. But I have to tip my hat to my opponent's shrewd strategy. He correctly realised I would be forced to place the bulk of my cavalry on the eastern flank, so he placed ALL of his horse there and trusted that I would not be able to outflank him on the western side of the battlefield.
In hindsight, and perhaps it did not need hindsight to spot, I made a serious mistake in putting two squadrons of cuirassiers on my right. Because of the two lines of bluecoats in front of them, they could not get into the battle until it was too late.
What was gratifying is that the battle seemed, at least to us, to play out just as a mid-18th century battle should. And that, for me, is the main point.
