Roliça In 3D - French Playthrough: Halfway Verdict

Map

Situation after five turns

I began the battle with six units against the AI's 11, and I now have four against the AI's nine.

Clearly my French are up against it, but for the moment I control the objective hex (marked by a green bead, on the ridge).

If the activation dice are favourable, I intend bringing my cavalry from the French left to the right, where they are sorely needed to combat the Allied cavalry that are threatening to attack my infantry from behind.

It is interesting to compare the situation with when I played the scenario with the book's map and counters. 

At the halfway stage I also had five units, including full-strength artillery, the unit that was to perform heroics at the end of the battle, while the AI had 10 units

It could be argued I am doing better this time, but to me it does not feel that way.
