Battle of Buzenval October 1870

 

Out side Paris the French prepare a flank attack

French come boiling out of the woods into the Prussian forces. 
a second village falls to the flank attack. 
The Zouaves take the 3rd Village!  The Opening moves have been very successful so far
The cavalry are wiped out trying to assist 
Then comes the savage counter attack. 
Followed by much firing on both sides. 
Artillery is doing horrible execution on both sides. 
French artillery is having a surprisingly good day 
at the end of 5 turn the French are holding their own but its still Prussia game to lose 
after seven turns the battle has raged back and forth neither side can get a clear advantage.... The Prussians hold a slight edge but the French have been pressing the attack.  
Then Prussian artillery finally wakes up and delivers and serries of devastating blows.  Routing two French units in one turn. Then the Zouaves launch and deserted attack giving me three of five villages.  We call it a draw as both sides are exhausted.
