[eia] the REAL 'heaven was kind'

["Kyle Haidet" <menexenus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Ok, even though only one side of the battle has been recorded, there's a reasonable amount I can tell you about it just from public knowledge.  According to recent history, I estimate the British forces at 1 inf./4 cav. and the Portuguese forces at 6 inf./1 cav.  That would make a morale of 2.9.
   Soult gives the French a tactical rating of 3, and without a leader, the British have a modified 0.  This gives the French +1 to each roll, and -1 to the British.  (Since the French have 3 cavalry present at the battle, there is no cavalry superiority.)

In the first round, the French inflict 1 casualty and -0.8 morale.

In the second round, the French (almost certainly) inflict 1 casualty and -1.1 morale.

In the third round, the French (almost certainly) inflict 1 casualty and -1.8 morale.  (If the combat makes it this far, then the British side will break and must lose a cavalry factor.)

If the French do not break, then France will win the battle and GB will lose (+2 pp to France/-2 to GB).  The pursuit roll was '5'.  That will inflict one additional cavalry casualty *only* if France loses less than 2.0 morale over the course of the combat.

If the British need to be retreated, then they must go toward London/Christiana, which means up the peninsula.  That gives me a choice of to Rome or to the mountainous area NW of Naples.  I will retreat them to the mountains.
