Mark B (French) and I (Austrian) finished the game, picking up at 1400 Austrian turn.
By 1430 the Austrians were back in business,
throwing in cavalry to remove a pesky French battery.
They followed up with more cavalry that cleared the way forward.
Ott had failed three command rolls in succession
and the fighting was left up to Zack and his Grenadiers.
But it was a sideshow...
At 1500 the climax of the battle had arrived.
First the Austrian cavalry beat the newly arrived French cavalry,
despite Murat's best endeavours and the use of a free roll.
To top it off, Murat was taken prisoner.
The Austrian cavalry kept under control and went after their next target.
The French Consular Guard failed to form square,
despite use of a Free Roll.
Still retaining control, the Austrian cavalry had one last target...
The last thing Napoleon saw...
His aide was heard saying "That one's got his name on it."
