Shakos and bayonets
A game of the muskets and tomahawks napoleonic version shakos and bayonets. Skirmish level with just three or four units a side. The British have been raiding French supply lines but are ambushed by French camped out in a Spanish village. Can the British get their booty across the table.
The small rifle units scamper forward 
French line infantry blocks the way but their officer rolled up a lazy disposition forcing him to remain put
The British firm up in the hope of clearing the way with volley fire
Voltigers snipe down the. British officer as one rifle unit abandoned him to close to the enemy
French get in a volley before the British and after seeing their officer fall they pull back but keep steady
One rifle units hope's to break through the village by going through the church while the French keep the rest of the brits falling back. The great thing about this system is the random nature of it with both sides playing cards to determine activation and events that throw a spanner in the works. My brits failed miserably but I enjoyed the game. Better luck next time.
