Battle Of Columbeira In 3D - Turn Five

Map

Situation at the start of turn five

My activation dice are 3 and two 1s. I reroll the 1s, having the good fortune to get 5 and 4, meaning my whole army can be activated.

In area 3 I advance the artillery.

In area 4 the infantry in Columbeira fire at the French in square, the four dice increased thanks to the enemy's formation. I roll 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2, destroying the target. My rearward infantry advance diagonally left, but I leave the other infantry where they are so as not to get in the way of my cavalry.

In area 5 both cavalry units swing two hexes diagonally left, into the stream, and are followed by Sir Arthur Wellesley. Both infantry units advance.

The French commander suddenly looks vulnerable

The AI's four activation dice land 6, two 4s and 1. Wildcard 6 and a 4 are rerolled, becoming 3 and 2, meaning all French troops can be activated.

In area 2 the infantry roll 6, at last leaving their position and advancing off the hill.

In area 3 the French artillery do not have a target in line-of-sight (guns can only fire along a direct line of hexes, rather than having a continuous arc), and so roll 3, which has no effect. Because Allied cavalry are within three hexes, the infantry form square.

In area 4 General Delaborde rolls 2, which only has an effect after turn six.

Halfway through the battle, and the Allies are rampant
