Last round the 7e won and made it a 4:1! Not much can stop these 15-18 cavalry guys who ride and fight like 50.
But we had great melee today against the 3rd, 1er and IVe. Fantastic. And due to the smaller numbers there was hardly lag either which made it really enjoyable.
We even had our squares today against the 7e! Not the most beautiful ones, but forming them in the middle of a battle instead of a training is of course a difference. And they seemed to work quite decently.
Best moment for us today was though when the 7e charged us in line... against both 92nd companies when they were nearly last ones alive. And we gave the volley and killed about 8 of them and nearly dismounted the complete rest.
Thin Red Line gentlemen! Thin red line!
The painting is very well-chosen, and sums it up quite well I must say.
At first, the 7e was hidden behind a hill, I was the only one at the top of it, looking at the plain with my spyglass.
Then I saw the horde.
60 Highlanders walking straight at us, at slow pace, in perfect order. As wonderful as painful to watch.
I called my second in command, gave him my spyglass, and told him to look at that. Same reaction, "Woah."
Then I called all of the regiment at the top of the hill, for all my men to spectate such a thing. We looked at our lines, nearly destroyed, and thought: "Fuck it, it's lost anyway".
Rest is only Vive l'Empereur !
and Blargh.
We made Lasalle proud, at least
