Waterloo campaign from 12:00 PM. Jerry is the British and Jim (left wing) and Richard (right wing). Awaiting Lee with his Prussians and Brian with the reserve to enter the arena. Carnage and Glory Rules (June 5, 2022)

1:00pm

The field quiets as gun go largely silent following a 30 minute barrage of La Haye Saint by the combined artillery of the Guard.

Kellerman is ordered to move his Cavalry Corps around to the southwest of Hougoumont, as the 1^st Brigade of Foy’s 9^th Division moves to the southern facing of that farm.

D’Erlon’s I Corps, supported by Milhaud’s cuirassiers step off towards the British main line to their front, Picton and the rest of that line having pulled behind the ridge on the reverse slope.

Throughout the area around Papelotte continues with minor sparing by Durette and French light horse.

1:30pm

Sensing unpreparedness on the Allied line, three brigades of cuirassiers charge into Best and neighboring units.  Behind the crest, the Allies cannot get off enough fire and fall back in disorder.  Only Pack’s brigade managed square and repulses the French charge.

To the west, a coordinated attack by Reille dislodges the British Guards out of the Hougoumont Farm.  The objective taken, several French Brigades will be forced to recover and regroup from the hard fighting.
