Summary

The French garrison have lost the melee and routed into the centre of the farm

Their support (30 infantry) have lost their morale and are shaken

It is quite likely they will join the rout next move

32 French infantry are pinned in square by the hussars

French artillery also move to close range of the farm

When the garrison has moved out the artillery will be able to fire on the new garrison

Fighting in a Built Up Area (BUA)

Move 6

British move first

Hussars are within command range and rally between moves

Artillery fire on farm, 1D6 require 9, roll 6, no casualties

Cavalry continue melee, 2D6+1, roll 8, lancers retire 8” shaken

French move second

Artillery fire on gunners, 2D6 requires 12, roll 12, hit cause 10% casualties

British gunners test morale, 1D6, require 3, roll 4, pass morale but disordered

32 infantry form square in case lancers rout

29 infantry (garrison) fire, 1D6, require 6, roll 3, no casualties

Summary

British hussar winning melee puts French at a serious disadvantage

If they cannot rally shaken lancers their infantry will be pinned by hussars

Hussar victory also means that British infantry can continue their attack on farm

Loss of British gunners gives French artillery superiority

The British will be minus 1 on all firing and morale tests

However they have already weakened French garrison

And they would have to move to allow infantry to storm farm

So not as serious as the cavalry victory
