Cacabelos In 3D - French Playthrough: Turn Five

Situation after four turns

My activation dice land 5, 5, 2. I reroll both 5s, but get two more 5s.

In area 2 my two-strength infantry shoot at the right-flank Allied infantry, rolling 6, 6, 4, eliminating two bases and forcing the remaining one to fall back a hex. My three-strength infantry advance to the edge of the trees and shoot at the nearby enemy cavalry. The three dice are decreased for firing after moving, and land 5, 1, eliminating a base.

The French cause still looks bleak

The AI's activation dice land 6, 5, 5, 1. Wildcard 6 and a 5 are rerolled, becoming 4, 1.

In area 1 the infantry withdraw a hex, while the cavalry advance diagonally left and then straight down a hex.

In area 3 the infantry want to withdraw a hex, taking them off the battlefield. At first thought that seems silly, but it should be remembered the Allied army is fighting a rearguard delaying action, so there is no reason why a unit should not be commanded to withdraw from the battlefield, and that is what it does. The artillery stays where it is.

In area 5 the infantry withdraw on to high ground.

A strange half-turn
