The French managed to get between the allied armies at Nivelles and Thines. A strategic victory. Allied reinforcements still a long way away, apart from thousands of supply wagons.
The two new optional rules make defence almost impossible with low grade troops in my opinion.
I agree with my opponent on the optional rules. They heavily tilt the favor toward the French side with their higher quality divisions. I feel the optional rules need to be re-examined and polished because they create lopsided conditions. Otherwise I got lucky with a surprise movement of forces.
