My dislike of the new blogger design template has reached Old Testament levels of fire and brimstone!
The difficulty in everything which was so simple before has actually had me wondering whether blogger is the way to go forward or perhaps using the ease of Facebook may be better.
I can’t quite work out how to write captions on the individual photos and they are appearing out of sequence unfortunately.
The French Imperial Guard Cavalry are released in this particular game the turn after Grand Duke Constantine first advances elements of the Russian Imperial Guard onto the battlefield. In this case seven battalions of the Russian Guard Infantry have been deployed.
These chaps continue to hold up the French of Van Damme however their losses are mounting.
The Austrian formations in this battle so far have been close to useless. They have been consistently hesitant and unable or unwilling to support the Russian brigades on both flanks and they were unable to hold the village of Pratzen. Can they finally get themselves, at least the two brigades which remain on the table, to actually pressure the French advancing from Were’s brigade?
The Russians Guard infantry arrive.
The game has taken a slight turn in favour of the allies. The French attack on Stare Vinohrady has very nearly succeeded with legere getting yo the edge of the winery however being forced to retire with a retreat faltering result for the brigade just as they were about to take it through the side gate!
The Russians on the left flank continue to stubbornly hold off St. Hillaire however French columns have reached the top of the Pratzenberg. Can they stay there?
