a Great Battle

LOL I just had a great battle
new game, so my troops are pretty low level yet
like 85000 Aus vs 55000 French
3 Aus Cav charges broke two of my Inf Divs, Killing Kellerman (not happy)
my Arty is blowing holes in his inf units, while his Cav is making a mess of my Inf
I end up with most of my Inf in Square, with the Aus Inf and Arty fireing into them, while one of my Cav is hassling his Cav
I got a Lancer and another Cav that hold back till the time is right
I got Garrisons moving up to form squares around my Arty to replace the broken and retreating Inf
my timing is prefect, and I take his Arty and broke his line, just as he starts to break
I lose 11000 men, they lose 25000
one Inf Div (Dang, all those Mili and it was a Inf that got nailed) ended the battle with 795 men, and is lost, along with the captured Arty
6 of his Divs are captured, with the national leader and a Army leader
I think the AI was close to winning this battle, but one of his Cav got caught between a fort and a watch tower, which it didn't attack, it was picked on by 3 different garrison troops to keep it busy and out of the main battle
if it had come to the main battle it had a chance to break another Inf unit, then I would of had to use my fresh Cav to counter it, and that is a losing battle
