Napoleonic Era

A brief skirmish between French and Austrians. The French were played byJim and Brian while the Austrians were Richard and Lee. The left flank of the Austrians was extremely battered an`d near to collapsed but the French were in no shape to take advantage. The right flank of the Austrians was fairly static with the French charge being repulsed. The French cavalry charge in the middle of the field broke through but there was nothing to take advantages of. The major advantages of the French were the availability of cavalry (Austrians had none) and the French 8 lb guns versus the the Austrians 3 lb pea shooters.
