The Main force of the Batrachian army appears to the south, concentrating on the town of Poztenpanz and Potzie's farm.
Both forces advance on their objectives.

The Mayeux Musketeers capture the Batrachian gun, while the rest of the Soweiter forces push the Batrachains out of Potzenpanz and Potzie's farm.

I am a fan of great batallions, but I love your pictures!

and I'm wondering how Gen. Napoleon S. behaved in this affair?
:)
Thanks guys! Yes, big battalions look great. But a fun game can be had with smaller numbers of figures, too. Lacking the space (tabletop and storage), time (painting and moving on the tabeltop), and desire (I enjoy painting a variety of troops and other minis - it would quickly become a chore rather than an enjouyable pasttime if I tried to paint "Charge"-size units).
As for General Nap. S., he conducted himself fairly well on the right wing. On the other hand he conducted it pretty much separate from the main attack, offering little support there - only sending in the Paprikash Grenadiers. His attack on the right flank failed, but he remained with the attack right up to the end (not making a hasty withdrawal while troops were still fighting, like a certain previous general, (D'Zastre).) Sort of acting according to the letter if maybe not the spirit of his duty. Nothing he could be taken to task for really.
