Forward my children Forward, as the the French centers falls apart by the pressure of the relentless attacks by the Prussian ArmeeImageThe small rearguard of French Old Guard could not stop the PrussiansImage
Even with all arms support it would only be a matter of time before all the French in the center would be overcome by the Prussian numbersImageWe die were we stand was the cry of the Old Guard!Image

To help you telling our battle, here are some maps of Nivelles (what I can see! :sly: )
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

June 15th, 12.00am
:frenchvive1: The French Garde Impériale is already there with its guns. We can see some Brittish and Prussian cavalry but almost no infantry except some Reds arriving from north-west.
From French side, II and VI Corps are arriving from south...

Image
____________________________________________________________________________________________

June 15th, 2.45pm
In north-east of Nivelles, Prussian cavalry has been destroyed. :thumbsup:
Infantry units are still arriving, finally!... Prussians from east too!!! :nappy:
So a new front is formed at Thines
Some fights in the Bois de Hamilton, Britts quickly routed although their number was bigger.


Image
_____________________________________________________________________________________________

June 15th, 4.00pm
Prussians are more and more numerous and coming from north and east.
Napoleon has to escape from surrounding, so he decided to retreat back to Nivelles, maybe a bit too late, some A+++ Vieille Garde units, which never surrender, thus have to die in square. :frenchsad:
Thines stays in the hands of the Frenchies.

Image
____________________________________________________________________________________________

To be continued..... :thumbsup:
