BATTLE OF CARRION, TURN 23

More fighting the other night in our fictitious battle for a small Spanish town in early 1809.  On the Allied right, the French continue to pressure Romana's Division but the latter is shifting cavalry to deal with that problem.

On the French right, the British attack has been slowed as Manningham's Bde has two units out of action and everyone awaits the outcome of the cavalry melee between the French 22nd Dragoons and the British 7th Hussars.

In the centre, the valiant attempt by Baird's Division to take Carrion has collapsed as first one, then two brigades faltered, triggering a division morale check which they also failed and were then forced to fallback from.  The next few turns should tell whether the Allies can recover from these setbacks to get back into the battle.
