We rejoin the action as a French infantry unit seems poised to seize the village of Quatre Bras - but the Allies seem to be getting their act together and the French are a long way from a clear victory.

The French position of the ridge line appears threatened by Brits in the distance and DB troops in the foreground. |
 |
This overview shows that the French centre has surged forward but the left has still to make much progress. |
 |
The cheeky French have made it to Quatre Bras and are preparing to defend it! |
 |
The Brits have cleared most of the ridge - how long can the Frenchies hold the village? |
 |
Kellerman arrives with a unit of cuirassiers in the nick of time! |
 |
Kellerman's charge against the DB light cavalry goes well. |
 |
The remaining French cavalry threaten some DB infantry - who promptly form a square. |
 |
Just as Kellerman is about to deliver his game-winning charge, some (off camera) French gunners beat him to it. A decisive but hard-fought French victory. |

Some how the DB always take the blame. Looks like good game.

First rule of alliances - always have someone to blame!
In fairness to the DBs, the British performance wasn't stellar either. The British brigade on their left put up a decent show at first but then melted away, while the Grenadier Guards on the right never fired a shot!

True enough. A promising political career cut short I think!
