Game
Notes
Artillery require a total of 8 with 2D6
dice to achieve 10% casualties.
The Russian gunners have failed to “soften
up” the enemy as their infantry advance
The French gunners have not done much
better
When a regiment fails its morale and routs,
all friendly regiments within 4” have to test their morale
When there are so many regiments with
existing casualties this can have serious consequences.
The approaching reinforcements is 6th
division of 2nd Russian corps
Neither commander was aware of this
approach due to the difficult terrain
The leading regiment will arrive on the
table at the start of the next move.
Rule 7 deals with artillery fire
Rule 18 deals with morale
