Good report and thoughts, having played a couple of BBB games myself now I can see it fast becoming one of my favourites and kindling an interest in periods I wasn't before (but had wanted to get into).

Thanks, Steve. I always enjoy your AARs, especially the reflections at the end (very Clausewitz!).

Definitely a Pyric and final victory for the last battle of the First French Empire. The terrain made it hard going slowing down the right hand French 4th Corps, but the final few turns saw the end blows. If only Grouchy had moved earlier the Emperor might not be on his way back to Paris.
