Talavera In 3D - Halfway Verdict

Situation after five turns

I have eight units remaining, including Sir Arthur Wellesley, while the AI has nine, including Marshal Jourdan.

Here is how the battle stood at the same point first-time through

I had seven units remaining, including both full-strength cavalry units, while the AI had nine units.

At the time I wrote: "The French look comfortable."

However, looking at the map now, and with the hindsight that it was my Allies that won comfortably, I am not sure why I was so pessimistic.

On the other hand, my infantry had taken quite a beating in the early stages of the battle, and it was the Allied cavalry that was to prove the difference.

As a reminder, to win the scenario, the human must have more units than the French on the farside, looking from the Allied lines, of the Tagus tributary La Portiña, at the end of turn 10.
