I show that in round 1 we both lose one factor and France loses 1.8 morale 
while the Saxons lose 2.2
In round 2, the French lose one factor and the morale losses now total 3.2 
for France and 2.5 for the Saxons
In round 3 the French lose one factor and both sides break.

So the Saxons lose one factor, the French 3 and both sides break.

The siege resolution section is kind of awkwardly written at this point.  I 
can see Jim's reading that since he broke the Saxon corps he wins the 
battle and captures the city, that's what it says in 7.5.4.1.3.5 where it 
defines the besieger winning.  However, in the political point allocation 
section, which is the very next rule, the besieger losing is defined based 
on the besieger breaking or being eliminated so the besieger has both won 
and lost.

While they do not make the comment about both breaking in the siege combat 
section, I think the ruling that in a both break situation neither sides 
wins and no political points are gained or lost should probably apply here 
as well as to field combats.  Otherwise, we've both won the battle so the 
Saxons must surrender, but the siege must resume and we both gain a 
political point.
