2 June: 0800-1000

Despite success on the left, Alfonso sticks to his original plan and orders Leite to attack up the center.
Leite immediately pushes forward. Tow battalion are ordered forward up the road through the woods wile a third battalion is ordered to attack the castle position on the hill. On the west side of the woods is the last battalion for Correia's original attack. Disorganized, most of  its officers killed and they are finally beginning to give away. The jaegers know they can't hod against a fresh brigade.  they withdraw in good order to the rear secure in the knowledge they have bought time for the rest of the brigade to get away. They pass through the second line at the eastern edge of town and take up position in the stone buildings.

At this point Makowsky is beginning to think about breaking contact. many of his battalion are out of ammo, at least on Line battalion 1/8 has suffered heavy losses, and his left is wide open to a flanking movement.  Leite's fresh brigade finally passes through t narrow terrain and impacts along the edge of the town. they are met by a severe fire and accurate Freedonia artillery.  Within thirty minutes they are back on their heels but the Freedonians can see artillery being brought up for deployment.  Makowsky uses the pause in the Slobibian attack to order a withdraw through th town to the third line. The indefatigable jaegers, themselves low on ammo,  cover the retrograde then break away themselves. Leite, with a bloody knows pushes forward gingerly lest he ruin into another ambush.

By 1030 Makowsky has all of his forces behind the third line in marching order and heads south. the brigade is in desperate need of rest and reorganization, but any delay now will be fatal. he'd like to put about 10-15 miles between himself and the Slobobians. As the brigade heads south, toward Longschamps,  the dragoons and Uhlans resume the rearguard .

Here are the results of the  battle per Carnage and Glory post battle editor:


The Freedonian Army has suffered losses of:
[ 13%]    868 men of all arms
   [ 13%]    760 bayonets
[ 18%]    108 sabres
[  0%]      0 artillerists
Honors: [ 107] 3rd Tuefelwald Jaeger  Bn


The Slobobian Army has suffered losses of:
[ 15%]   1620 men of all arms
    [ 20%]   1473 bayonets
[  0%]      74 sabres
[ 33%]     73 artillerists
Honors: [ 503] 1/3 inf rgt


Both sides have basically accomplished their immediate missions, the Freedonians have given battle and inflicted  tactical reverse, then gotten away more or less intact. The Slobobians have cleared the road and are able to proceed west. We shall soon see how much of a delay has been caused....
