Very nice. And I like the river!

The river is really an eye-catcher!
My friend Miltiades has made it and I try to convince him to make some more pieces

Super looking table and figures, great looking game!

Thank you!
Please stay tuned for the second part!

The Hanoverians have superior fire and already one of the three Grenadier battalions receives too many hits and is done for!
The second battalion manages to cross the river and come into grips, while the third chases the Jagers out of the woods.
I send my C-in-C behind them to bolster them!

Meanwhile, the French right flank makes a significant progress!
Doc Vag has refused his left, so several French battalions cross the river!
The Hessians defend as best as they can!
One French battalion is done for but one Hessian retreats, causing hits to some friendly units.
Doc Vag's large Hanoverian militia veer to the left for help but they are already with three hits, receiving flanking fire by my artillery!
Infantry and cavalry their, present a juicy target for ricocheting balls!
My dismounted dragoons have fixed the Hessian grenadiers in place!

@Norm
@Sparrow
Thank you gents, please stay tuned, the action is escalating!

While my skirmishing dragoons keep the Hessian grenadiers busy, my cavalry found the time to reform and make a second attempt to cross the river, this time screened behind my infantry!
The Hanoverian militia trying to plug the gap receive a blasting fire and are done for!

I turn my artillery against the leftmost battalion of Hanoverians and send them reeling back to reform
My second grenadier battalion comes into grips, but already exhausted is defeated and dissolves!

An aerial view of the situation: Both sides have a suffering left flank!
I send for reinforcements, Battalion Royal Baviere comes down the central road in march column to attack the bridge!

On my left flank, the last grenadier battalion has received four hits and retreated to reform.
The Hanoverians cannot take advantage of the situation, as they have two battalions reforming, my artillery did a good job!

DintheDin · « **Reply #26 on:** January 04, 2020, 08:21:42 AM »

The Hanoverian cavalry, irritated, charge the dismounted dragoons!
My skirmishers send a hasty volley and fall back, the river halves the cavalry move so they cannot overrun them...

DintheDin · « **Reply #27 on:** January 04, 2020, 08:23:28 AM »

The Hessian grenadiers make a last stand, but take 4 hits and retreat!

DintheDin · « **Reply #28 on:** January 04, 2020, 08:30:11 AM »

I march my remaining grenadiers towards the central road.
The Jagers take courage and approach to harass them from the rear!

DintheDin · « **Reply #29 on:** January 04, 2020, 08:33:39 AM »

The situation so far:
The Hanoverian horse did not succeed to come in contact with the dismounted dragoons.
My cavalry crossing the river.
Only two Hanoverian cavalry regiments left to cover the Allied flank!
