    In the first round, the British lose 3.3 morale and 18 factors, while
the French lose 1.1 morale and 4 factors.

    In the second round, the British lose 1.8 morale (break) and 13 factors,
while the French sustain no losses.

    Since the combat lasted 2 rounds and 1.1 morale damage was inflicted on
the victor, the pursuit roll is on table 4.  A roll of 4 results in 30% of
12 = 4 cavalry losses in pursuit.

    Final totals:

The French side loses 3 mil. and 1 inf.

The British side loses 30 inf and 5 cavalry (assuming that all pursuit
losses are taken as cavalry).  If my pre-battle intelligence is correct,
then 10 factors are lost from the Portugal corps, all other losses will be
taken from British corps.

The British force is retreated due south of La Rochelle.

France +2 PP, GB -2 PP.

P.S.  JJ, you're lucky that the battle didn't go on for another round, or I
might have captured Wellington!
