This timely arrival should help me push on to take Quatre Bras. Turn 4 - French reinforcements arrived in the form of the 6e Division. I guess the Hussars had a change of heart. However, the Dutch Hussars moved down to intercept my lancers which resulted in a stand-off. The Netherlands battalion on the left of Bois de Bossu routed and this cleared the way for a French advance. This gave the French sharpshooters an easy target and they caused considerable losses on the Nassau unit.

The 4e Legere encountered the 28th Orange-Nassau Regt who were in square (presumably aware of the French Light Cavalry in the adjacent areas). The 1er Chasseurs overran the Belgian artillery at Quatre Bras but were now Shaken and needed to retire. The 6e Lanciers carried on North of the woods leaving the Netherlands infantry to be cleared by my French Line Regiments. The 4e Legere moved up to Materne Pond where Wellington was in the area. The 1ere Chasseurs charged into Quatre Bras but were hit by the Belgian Foot Artillery unit in the area and suffered losses. The remaining troops of the 2e Nassau regiment surrendered to the lancers. Turn 3 - Encouraged by my early successes, the 5e Lanciers charged in at Grand Pierrepont farm and caused further losses to the disintegrating Nassau square. My horse artillery at Grand Pierrepont was also successful against the Nassau square causing a loss of 1 Strength point and ultimately they routed resulting in further losses. The combat round resulted in my French Line Regiment suffering at Thyle but the artillery pounded the Dutch square into destruction at Gemioncourt. I also moved up the 2e Corps Reserve Artillery to strike the Dutch square near Gemioncourt. The 3e and 63e Ligne moved to the left of Bois de Bossu and began a fire fight with a battalion of Netherlands Line infantry. I also moved up a horse artillery unit to Grand Pierrepont farm and started to bombard the Nassau units that had formed square in that area. Turn 2 - I moved up the 93e Ligne (3 battalions) to Thyle and encountered resistance from enemy light infantry / skirmishers. Seeing that the Dutch Light Infantry had not formed square near Gemioncourt, I charged in the second Light Cavalry unit but the enemy formed square before contact was made and no impact occurred. My first cavalry unit charged and overran the artillery battery defending Gemioncourt. Turn 1 - I chose to be aggressive and charged my Light Cavalry up towards Quatre Bras whilst pinning down the Nassau battalions near Grand Pierrepont Farm and in front of the woods with 3 squadrons of Lancers. Event cards introduce an element of unpredictability so I have included them in the Options screen. I played the French who have the more challenging position needing to attack. The battle options I chose were - All options and Normal FOW. I particularly enjoy small scenarios that I can complete in one evening. I chose the Quatre Bras historical scenario.
