Summing Up Roliça In 3D

WINNING any battle against the AI in Battles Of Napoleonic Europe is hard enough, but to win with a turn, and the best part of another turn, to spare is, at least in my experience, very rare.
For much of the battle I thought the Allied advance was too slow, and I was annoyed with myself at having not made my original setup more objective-focussed.
However, my cause was certainly helped by having the Allied army in a much compacter formation than when I first fought the battle, making activation easier.
But there is no doubt the AI's failure to activate at all in turn seven was, well, a turning point that left the French badly placed to meet my outflanking cavalry.
My score against the AI in 3D after one scenario: 1-0.
My original score against the AI after one scenario: 0-1.
