Damn, those Dons charge fast! My guards and the C-in-C were lost on round two.

Better than last time, but haven't worked out how to win with them yet.

Right - the Spaniards are doing too dam' well. It's right and proper that they should get great advantages from their superior equipment, but next time they're also getting more realistic numbers of cavalry!

Hmmm. I've been allowing them what would be about 200 heavy cavalry, and about 120 light. Far too many for history, and as it turns out virtually unbeatable on the table. We'll be reducing that by about 55%.

Ahhhhh, that's better. It still wasn't easy, but the Spaniards need to be a lot more careful now that even light losses can cost them their units.

And I managed it even though my off-table flank marches never arrived!
