I was looking for a color Terrain Effects chart for Le Bataille’s QB title.. call me a snob but the text heavy black and white follow the numbers this was not doing it for me. So I thought hmm I bet some OCD wild man did one in the VASSAL module! [No joy] Well that of course led to me downloading it, and seeing the Last Eagles QB module which I also d.loaded.

4 PM
Lannes’ artillery obliterates the remnants of the Arkhangelgorod regiment. Lannes directs Suchet to hold the southern flank near Krug, supporting Bernadotte, while Caferelli, with the 34th and 17th Ligne, mop up the Goldbach Heights. Bagration is left with a mere 2400 horse, but are still a dangerous force, not to be ignored. Bernadotte’s 94th Ligne again provides a dazzling display of…
