After a long hiatus, we finally got back to our Battle of Rolica.  The time was now 1420hrs with less than three hours left before the arbitrary end of the battle due to ammunition consumption and fatigue. 

On the right flank, the French have massed their cavalry forcing the British into square.  The latter are now terribly vulnerable to infantry and the lone remaining French battalion takes advantage of this to charge into the British battalion at the corner.  They are forced to retreat and a hole suddenly develops in the British line.

On the left flank, Delaborde's troops and the British under Ferguson continue to grind each other down in a real battle of attrition.  Not only are the French hanging on, they have even managed to re-occupy part of Rolica village, itself. 

By 1440hrs, the French have forced back yet another British battalion but their casualties and fatigue are rapidly mounting.

On the other flank, Delaborde has pushed the Portuguese back across the stream bed but have lost their toe-hold in the village with two British battalions bearing down from the south.

There is still no sign of Junot and Reserve after all these hours of battle (did they stop for croissants along the way?)!  Will the British survive until sunset or will they break under the continued pressure from the combined arms attack of the French?  With two hours left, it is going to be close.
