Sahagún In 3D - French Playthrough

THE eighth scenario in Mike Lambo's Battles Of Napoleonic Europe is Sahagún fought from the French side.

Map

Battlefield transformed into 3D using Hexon II tiles

The human receives three units of cavalry and General César Debelle.

The French forces start in the bottom righthand corner (below the blue dashed line on the map)

The AI receives Lord Henry Paget, four units of cavalry and one of artillery.

The placing of the British troops is decided by rolling dice

In my first playthrough of this scenario I crammed all my troops into area 5.

But this time I have also included a unit in area 4

Here is how the battlefield looked after the AI's setup in the first playthrough

The AI won that battle in nine turns, so it is rather ominous that the AI seems to have improved its setup for this second playthrough.

The artillery has my right-flank cavalry in direct line-of-sight, the British centre is strong, and the right flank, consisting of a unit of cavalry and Lord Henry Paget, is a long way from my forces 

To win the scenario I have to drive all the British troops to the top of the battlefield, ie beyond the dashed red line on the map, at any point after turn four (and before the scenario finishes as the end of turn 10).
