Vimeiro In 3D - French Playthrough: Halfway Verdict

Map

Situation after five turns

The French begin the scenario heavily outnumbered, and my army remains heavily outnumbered.

Losing my artillery without it even firing a round was a big blow.

But there is hope in the shape of the French cavalry, which can be expected to swing round and inflict significant casualties on the Allied troops gathering around the French objective of Vimeiro.

Here is how the battle looked halfway through my first playthrough of this scenario

If it were not for the placing of my cavalry in the 3D scenario, I would say I was doing far better at the halfway point of my first playthrough.

I went on to lose that game, albeit by the tightest of margins, and it may well be I will lose this time too ... but perhaps the cavalry will come to my rescue.
