My infantry depleting, I had sent for reinforcements.
Three rounds later, one French Line Infantry battalion enter from the Western road

Forgot to say that the Hessians had an extra howitzer battery which, hidden behind the hill crest, was doing lethal damage! It is now attacked!
French troops have reached the hill crest. At last they can see all the enemy forces!
My artillery was all that time trying to silence the enemy batteries, but to no avail...

The French Dragoons closing carelessly the enemy engineers, get a bloody nose...

The howitzer battery survived the infantry charge, sending my infantry retreating to reform.
I take my revenge. The French Cuirassiers du Roi have recovered and the howitzers are overrun!

The cuirassiers are unstoppable! Next round the my Cavalry Brigade get a double move bonus and the Schomberg Dragoons attack the next battery!
The battery swings, they shoot canister, but, miraculously they don't wound a single horseman!
The Cuirassiers du Roi fall at the back of the Hessian Garde, which, surprised did not find time to turn!

This was crucial! The Cuirassiers were exhausted but the Garde was annihilated!

It was the winning round, as the rest of the enemy units were surrounded

The Hessians plan of defense:
All their army was concentrated behind the slope, but when their right flank was opened this was proved tactically disastrous.

Indeed, your sense of humor shined through and enhanced the experience.

But were the cavalry that "probed the left" on the far right part of the humor?!

Or perhaps you meant probing the enemies left?

Fun read.
