THE BATTLE OF CARRION, TURN 5

We completed three more turns last week.  On the Allied right flank, the Spanish continued their practice for the up-and-coming Dos de Mayo parade as can be seen in the photo below.

In the meantime, the Allied left tried to force a crossing of the river and had limited success.  Their infantry were thrown back but their cavalry won a surprise victory against Debelle's hard-luck brigade.  Here is the photo at the end of Turn 5.

It will be interesting to see if the British can exploit the success of their cavalry and turn the now-exposed French flank or whether the French will be able to regain their balance and throw back this assault as well as they await the possible arrival of reinforcements.
