Battle Of Sabugal - French Playthrough: Turn Nine

Situation after turn eight
My activation dice land 5, 2 and 1. I reroll the 5 and 1, but get another 5 and an equally useless 4.
Both my infantry units move back obliquely right, so that at least they are next to the French commander. I leave the artillery where they are, partly hoping the Allied infantry behind the trees will advance into my guns' line-of-sight.
The AI's activation dice are 5, 4 and two 1s. A 1 is rerolled, becoming 2.
In area 4 the infantry roll 1, which has no effect as they are not below the red dashed line.
In area 5 the forward infantry roll yet another 6, reaching the bottom of the map. The rear infantry roll 1, which, since they are below the red dashed line, means they enter the adjacent trees, from where they fire at Marshal Masséna. Their three dice are decreased for moving and for firing through intervening trees. However they roll 6, killing the French commander. The artillery roll 2, advancing obliquely right to put an enemy unit in range (they cannot fire because artillery cannot move and shoot in the same turn).
Activation dice will be crucial next turn
