Game Notes
When a routed brigade is caught they are all cut down
This is one of seven “quick results” which are automatic
Rule 8 covers Quick Results
Wellington is finding it difficult to react to the French reserve
His far left has been halted by Reille and will be lucky to hold their ground
On his far right Stewart is facing two corps and must also halt
In the centre both Alten and Picton must redeploy to meet these set backs
