Summing Up My French Playthrough Of Roliça In 3D -

Another exciting and fluctuating game, the outcome perhaps hinging on the AI's general, Sir Arthur Wellesley, impetuously putting himself in harm's way while encouraging his men to push home their attack.

When he was killed by my sadly depleted, but brave, sharpshooters, who were defending the objective hex, it meant the Allied army no longer had a unit that could move two hexes in a single turn, and that 6s thrown for activation areas would no longer be rerolled.

That proved hugely important in turn nine, when the AI rolled two such 6s and could not move the only Allied unit that might have reached the all-important hex.

In this series I now lead the AI 2-0, whereas at the same stage of my first playthrough of Battles Of Napoleonic Europe we were tied 1-1 - perhaps I am getting the hang of this generalship business!
