As the casualties mount up the remnants of the Grand Armee trudge wearily westward.
These Bavarians were thinking wistfully of home.
Some of the French huddle behind a wrecked wagon as the Russians closed in. Cossacks from the rear....
...and infantry from the front. More of this in a bit.
The overall look by now was one of carnage.
The French rearguard were eventually overcome by the Russians.
Remember the French infantry cowering behind the wagons? As the Russian infantry charged the French were helpfully struck by artillery. French artillery, that is....
The end - and probably the enduring image of the game - Cossacks plundering another wagon. Only one wagon escaped!

Great stuff Tim, nice to see the cossaks living up to type.
Cheers,

War winners the Cossacks. Effective anti-logistics weapon. Evocative pictures - probably to more so for the stark simplicity of the bleak looking terrain set-up.
A wonderful series of posts of what must have been a most enjoyable game. Congrats to you all.
