Patrick VDB, a veteran of our group, invited two possible new members, who happen to be Britains collectors. Patrick saw the opportunity to stage a Quatre Bras game.
New guy John meated with Patrick P and Adrien on the French side, while Patrick VDB took the Brunswick and Dutch troops, and novice Philippe and Steven commanded the British - Hanoverian units.
As expected, the French threw rather quickly the Brunswick force out of the farm and drove back the Dutch troops. 
The Hanoverian and British divisions were just in time to stall the French progress.
The French cavalry came on the scene
And also the British cavalry was present.
Due to lack of time, we did not manage to play till the end, but to give our novice players an impression of a cavalry battle we staged a big confrontation of the Britains french and British cavalry
The Carabineers and Chasseur à Cheval units defeated the Britsch heavy cavalry, while on the other side the 3 units of British Hussars were to strong for the French Cuirassiers.
Wonderful to see so many Britains Deetail figures in action!
