Each side consists of two commands, each headed by a General. The Russians would have to hold the heights dominating the battlefield. the French would have to move them off. Each command would consist of 12-15 elements. Amy & Jack took the Russians.

 |
| The main French Attack |
 |
| The far right |
 |
| Boom! the Russian guns find their range... |
 |
| Poor PiPs & the Attack is uncoordinated |
 |
| Magnifique!!! Chasseurs D'Afrique hold the flank |
 |
| The French reserves plough straight up the road. Whilst the Chasseurs a Pied take out some Skirmishers. |
 |
| The French Guns take their toll |
 |
| OOoops! That road hasn't been guarded well.. |
 |
| Jack turns the Russian guns onto the Chasseurs a Pied |
 |
| In go the French, with mixed results... |
 |
| The French Artillery doing it's job |
 |
| Come on! |
 |
| Russian Canister wipes out some poor Frenchmen!! |
 |
| The Russians are being hammered on the right hill. |
 |
| French Riflepower downs another Russian.. |
 |
| AAAAaaaarggh! I forgot & went hand to hand with the Russian, bad mistake.. |
 |
| However on the hill, Russian resistance is wiped out. |
 |
| The end is near! |
 |
| This Russian command is broken & they leg it to Sevastopol. |
 |
| With the other Russian command near breakpoint, the horrors admit defeat! |
There you go, the French won the day with a head on Assault. Jack's kicking himself for not putting more troops guarding the right hill & the main road. This time I made use of the Allied superiority in firepower & tried to avoid going hand to hand with those 'Bwutal Wussians'.
