Battle Of Barrosa - French Playthrough: Turn Seven

Situation after turn six

My activation dice are two 3s and 1. I reroll the 1 and a 3, getting another 1 and 5 - both of no use.

My artillery fire at the one-strength infantry directly ahead of them. The three dice are increased for being next to Marshal Victor, and I roll 5, two 2s and 1, eliminating the enemy unit.

Marshal Victor, in a throwback to a more chivalrous age, charges his opposite number, General Graham, rolling 5 and 4, killing the Allied general.

General Graham's demise could prove pivotal

The AI's activation dice land 5, 3, 2 and 1.

From this turn on Allied infantry not already on the hill, will head for it (assuming they are in an active area).

In area 1 the infantry roll 3, which has no effect.

In area 2 the infantry roll 5, advancing a square, but cannot fire at Marshal Victor thanks to the plateau effect of high ground.

The Allied artillery fire at Marshal Victor, the dice landing 6 and 3, killing the French general.

Both armies are suddenly leaderless
