The scenario involved five British/Allied brigades (3 inf, 2 cav) defending against a French attack consisting of four infantry brigades and two cavalry brigades.
The battle began briskly as both combatants pushed their cavalry aggressively on the British right flank. Around the farmhouse, heavy French skirmishing forced the defenders to fall back from the walls allowing the French to make a breach. Before the British could counterattack, French legere pushed the British completely out of the compound.
Returning to the cavalry battle, outnumbering the British 17 squadrons to 12, French horse gradually gained the upper hand and sent the British horse streaming from the battlefield. With the collapse of the British right and pressure mounting across the battlefield, British commander ordered a general withdrawal.
Victory to the French!
