Turn 2 -The British Cavalry charge in typical fashion the Dragoons hit and cause 2 kills an one of the French Dragoon units, causing them to fall back. The British Dragoon Regt decided it prudent to recall back to the safety of the to the rear, leaving the Portuguese Light Cavalry to their fate!

Meanwhile, the French infantry plod on towards the Spanish right flank

Turn 3 - 4 saw the French columns of Girard hit Zayas' Spanish Division and saw the Division lose 3 of his 5 Battalions in the two turns (Forgot to take photos)
Turn 5- Zayas continued to take hits
With all their light cavalry now gone, the French had free rein in the Allies rear, but kept losing initiate where it counted.
