Very nice indeed, what artillery did the British field, also what was the rifle?

At the risk of getting whistled off I would like to ... gulp ... criticise your initial dispositions. IMHO you should have put a battalion into the woods on Leith hill, it slows them down and keeps that dreaded artillery at arms length just a bit longer; also your R flank had no reserve! Apart from that it was fine!
Don't buy your daughters a pony, buy them heroin instead, its cheaper and ultimately less addictive.

Well that was quite something! It's also given me food for thought for my upcoming 10" square terrain modules.
