Summing Up My French Playthrough Of The Battle Of Cacabelos

I CONCEDED at the start of turn seven, but the writing had been on the wall almost from the very beginning.

Partly this was down to bad luck in that my reinforced left wing, where I put both units of French cavalry, found itself facing by the far the stronger wing of the British force.

But it was also due to my mishandling of the said cavalry, and once one unit had been destroyed early on I was always going to be very much up against it.

Even so I believe this scenario to be a tough one for the human player - certainly tougher than the same battle fought from the British side.

The AI now leads our series 6-5 (includes one scenario fought twice).
