Ott versus Desaix

I put together a very small game of Napoleon's Battles pitting Ott's force from Marengo against Desaix's force from the same battle reinforced with some cavalry and artillery to make it interesting (and so that all arms could be experienced).  This was to show the rule set to Marc at the club, the well named but rarely played Napoleonic Wargaming Society.  However on the night there were three other Napoleonic games on the go as well.  Check out the club's post here:

About 150 points a side

The French close in.

Ott personally leads a desperate cavalry charge.
His force had been well and truly thrashed,
but he escaped with his integrity intact
after his charge stopped the French pursuit.
