I am ceratin that it would make a good article on tactics for the NWC Newsletter. Why not take some snapshots and write a little description? The Editor would certainly be pleased with your contribution. [:D] FM Sir 'Muddy' Jones, KG 2nd Life Guards, Household Cavalry CO, Cavalry Corps Allied CiC

The "Battle of Giants" continues. Turn 13 (only 5th after armies got into contact) sees more glorious charges and counter-charges, resulting in almost unbeliavable bloodshed. Current loses are: French 302 infantry 14720 cavalry 13 guns 22 commanders Russians 19 infantry 10583 cavalry 12 guns 8 commanders GL.

Our esteemed opponents have hit upon a very clever Russian tactic which Tomasz and I were much too slow to fathom, mayhaps because we have campaigned for so long in Central Europe rather than the steppes [B)]. Specifically, the Russians have a decided numerical superiority in cavalry, on the order of 3/2, albeit nearly half of it consists of cossacks. Despite their lower morale, however, they are rated as "lancers" in NRC and, when used <i>en masse</i>, can kill elite French cav as well as any Gd Dragoon or cuirassier. Given the initial Russian numerical superiority, Pavel & Jeka have simply launched an all-out cavalry action, on all fronts. Their initial losses were acceptable since they a) were trading low-morale cossacks for elite cav, and b) their overall numerical advantage means that a straight battle of cav attrition would always end in their favor.[:(] My hat is off to them for devising a crude, but nonetheless effective, strategy.
