As the Russians I was a bit despondent at first. A lot of a defensive line to cover with units spread over the large map. No reinforcements. The heavy guns are great! Counter attack was fun but eventually ran out of men. Most of the terrain is good for defense but French guns negate that.
Although I suffered a Major Defeat (through my opponents good play and my many blunders!) I thoroughly enjoyed the scenario and hopefully have learned a little more on how to play this challenging series.
