It's now 11 a.m. on June 17. This is that day between the battles when the Allies are supposed to bugger off to the NorthWest in the interest of preserving their respective supply lines and give them the opportunity to link up against the French who outnumber them individually.
Neither Wellington nor Blucher have chosen to debouch. To the contrary, although evicted from Ligny, MB came after two of my flank cavalry corps and, putting together a 4:1 with a right shift due to combined arms, left me with bad odds, indeed. The fates handed me my first real break with an Exchange, but the net result was still the demoralization of both corps. Now, this "just" means their movement over clear terrain is made more expensive and we can no longer advance after combat. Still not a fan.

| Yep, want no part of any of that. |

| Broader view of the fight. Ligny is now to the SouthWest, barely in shot. |
Meanwhile, over in Quatre Bras, I must needs now drop a serious hammer on Wellington and his polyglot army. Napoleon marches in and that in earnest to provide the needed commands as Ney is saddled with a "1" command rating.
