This is a venture using some computer rules called Carnage & Glory. Like all new rule sets we had a few teething problems but not enough to really influence the overall outcome.
This pic gives a long shot across the battlefield from the Prussian right. Plancenoit is in the middle of the table. The Prussians have 4 Brigades of Infantry, 3 Brigades of Cavalry and 11 Batteries. The French have 2 Divisions of Infantry, 2 Divisions of Cavalry and 6 Batteries.
The Prussians started their attacks on their right with the lead Cavalry Brigade. The French would come of worst from this encounter. Fatigue plays a large part in how the software controls overall unit effectiveness and units can tire quickly.
The French await the advance of the mass of Prussian Infantry. The French edge the quality ratings, but the Prussians make up for this with numbers.
The Prussians did attack Plancenoit. Fighting in villages is difficult, as it should be, and progress was slow. The Church was counted as a stone strongpoint.
The Prussians make a general advance just as nightfall was beginning to close. In the open, the French would have no option but to retire. However, the Prussians made no headway into Plancenoit itself. An interesting first experience which is about to be repeated.
Myself and Graham enjoying a short break before resuming hostilities. Graham was Prussian and we decided that he had the edge in the result.
