1815 Mini Campaign. First engagement, "King of the Hill".

We have set ourself to play a small campaign. It's a ladder type campaign with three battles, the first is a "King of the Hill" type scenario. The outcome of this battle decides what scenario is played next. If the attacker wins its "Battle for the Farm" next, if the defender wins its "Meeting Engagement". The winner of a scenario is the attacker in the next. These are scenarios and campaign  ideas from the Warhammer Historical: Waterloo that we tweak to fit with General the Brigade. 
The first and second battles are 750 points a side, quite small engagements. These two scenarios represent two different fronts of the battle taking place during the first half of the day. In the third and final scenario remaining forces from the previous battles are combined, so this will be a bigger clash with battle worn forces.
We roll for replenishment after each fight, one D6 for each casualty, on a 1-2 the casualty is lost permanently, on 3-6 it is returned to the unit. Units that disperses are completely lost for the remainder of the day.

Today we played the first engagement, "King of the Hill". This scenario represents the first opening moves of the day, a race for a important ridge line.

French deployment.

British deployment.

The French infantry was drawn up in attack columns in checker board style and advanced hard and fast on the ridge line ahead. Well on top of the the hill the first three battalions deployed in line, the second wave waited in column behind the hill. The British engaged with both artillery and musket fire and caused staggering amounts of casualties. 
The French cavalry brigade, two Hussar regiments rode up to support on the infantry's left flank and immediately tried to charge a British battalion in line formation. The charge faltered and the British infantry brigade had time to form square. This situation locked down the action on  that flank for the remainder of the game.
The British firing kept causing casualties and two French battalions disperses, two other was in bad shape. The second wave of infantry was brought up to reinforce the foothold.
In the end the French took home the scenario objective and won the game, but took great losses that will effect the situation late in the day. Two battalions dispersed and will not return, another greatly reduced, 14 out of 24 figures remaining. Also Brigade General Houssin de St Laurent commanding the Hussar brigade was mortally wounded. The severest on the British side is a battalion reduced to 20 figures. This was after we rolled for replenishments.

We played a total of ten turns, 3 hours or so both in "in game" time and actual play time.

The next scenario is "Battle for the Farm" with Prussians defending and French attacking.
