It was really a noblemen's affair, whithout any interference from the masses of low value, expendable fightingmen.

Jeff did a very good job with the damned bavarians light horsemen one of the worst cavalry units IMHO. At the end of the battle, my best squadron was so worn out they wouldn't charge even a battalion of Russian skirmishers. Mad

I think Kevin is the one in the center of the image, cleaning the pockets of the fallen. And half my horse can be seen on the left side.

I thought in Friedland the French had more and better cavalry. Surprised

That's me. Just trying to tidy up the field a little. No sense in having all those pocket watches and napoleons and rubles going to waste. Very Happy

Yes, in 1807, but this was 1813.
