Alla fine, risultato storicamente valido, e giocatori soddisfatti e divertiti. Lo scenario ha funzionato anche se ha evidenziato alcuni problemi, peraltro facilmente risolvibili, nella gestione di situazioni così complesse.
Well, the game lasted three nights, for a total of
about a dozen hours of play.
The French took the early initiative and launched the Foot Guards to attack the Russian lines , while the cavalry made sure the control, at least in part, of the right wing , with the avant-garde that came even to the suburbs of Fontanelle to hinder the arrival of the Prussian column .
However, the Russian cavalry , especially the Dragoons, have strongly contested the French cavalry , bringing significant local successes . The Russians have suffered greatly for lack of artillery , but the French Guard , though put in check on a couple of occasions by the fire of musketry opponent , has proved a real steamroller.

At the end of the second evening the Russians had already
finished their points of army morale and , though they have survived the
first test of a army morale, the death of the Commander of the Reserve has shut down their last hopes of being able to contain further the advance
of the Grognard . Meanwhile, the Prussian column , despite some initial losses
, gained ground , regaining Fontanelle and pushing back the enemy's cavalry and
the Middle Guard. But the collapse of the Russian pushed York for
a more than reasonable retreat, to avoid being overwhelmed by the arrival of
the Old Guard, who , with the help of MarieLouise also conquered the russian line of communication.
In the end , the result was historically valid , and the players had fun. The scenario did work well even though it has highlighted some problems in the management of such complex situations , which are easily solved .
