| Situation after turn three |
My artillery fire at the enemy to their front. Their three dice are increased for being next to Sir Arthur Wellesley. I roll 5, two 4s and 3, reducing the French unit to two-strength, but it does not fall back as it is supported by Marshal Masséna. The forward infantry in area 3 advance and fire at the French to their front. The four dice are decreased for moving. I roll 5, 4 and 3, reducing the enemy unit to two-strength and forcing it back a hex. The other infantry in area 3 advance.
In area 2 the cavalry advance two hexes and the infantry slot in behind them.
In area 4 the forward infantry advance and fire at the French infantry in the wood. Their four dice are decreased for moving and for the enemy being in cover. I roll 6 and 4, reducing the enemy unit to two-strength and forcing it back obliquely right (chosen over obliquely left because it keeps them in range and line-of-sight of an enemy unit). The backward infantry advance.

| There has been significant action at last |
The artillery roll 4, advancing a hex.
In area 3 the forward two-strength infantry roll 2, advancing and firing. They have four possible targets, the tiebreak being their preference for firing at artillery. Their two dice are decreased for moving, and they roll 1. The other two-strength infantry roll 3, and also advance and fire. Their preference is for cavalry over infantry. Their two dice are decreased for moving, and they also roll 1. Marshal Masséna moves obliquely left. The cavalry roll 3, advancing two hexes.
In area 4 the two-strength infantry fire at the enemy infantry nearest them, rolling 5 and two 1s, reducing my unit to two-strength, The forward three-strength infantry fire at the same target. Their four dice are increased for being next to the commander, but decreased for firing through trees. They roll 6, 5 and two 4s, eliminating my unit. The other infantry in area 4 cannot move.
