Ok so here is the situation.
Battle of Voltri.....I am Austria My line unit is just over 500 men in good order. I have a French unit flanked and in a firefight with another Austrian unit. I move my 500 man Regiment up and fire into the French units back. The French unit is just over 700 men. I kill 39 men and disorder them. I than charge the French unit in its rear and I am thrashed. Its not even close. I lose 92 men and the disordered, flanked French lose 8. Both forces quality is "C"
I don't understand how being flanked and disorganized the French can still be that good. I would have to charge them in the front.

Well, regardless of any other factors, I do note that you were attacking them at less than even odds. That's rarely a good idea, in any wargame.
