Here's a pic of the Imperial right flank. The Serbelloni cuirassiers (Old Glory figs) are closest to the camera, with the Ferdinand cuirassiers (Crusader miniatures, painted by Old Army Painting Service) behind. These were Lloyd's brigade. In the distance, the Imperial reserve made up of IR Salm-Salm and IR Neipperg have changed to column and are marching to the Imperial right flank.
This one shows the Ferdinand cuirassiers just before their ill-advised charge against the Fedoran Leibregiment. They were shot from the saddles, almost to a man. I think 4 figures survived the volley, and amazingly passed their morale check. Only to be destroyed the next turn.
Finally, here's a pic of the Fedoran-Germanians. In the foreground, Germanian (Prussian) Dragoon Regiment Schorlemer (Old Glory figures) just before the Serbelloni cuirassiers charged. In the background, the Fedoran (Brunswick) Karabiniers are about to change into column formation to move behind the dragoons, while the Leibregiment takes post near the town of Balcones. Leib and Karabiniers are RSM95 figures painted by Fernando Enterprises Miniature Painting Service.
These are very nice photos . . . I hope that you have some more to share (and hopefully Lloyd will update his Zolms blog -- his last post was at Christmas).

1. Write in the word Shell on the artillery line that says Roundshot on page 2 of the Quick Reference Charts. This was an oops on my part.

2. We find it easier on the eyes if the Quick Reference Charts are photcopied on light or medium yellow paper.

3. Tis best when cavalry charges infantry if the infantry has used up its first fire bonus and has been shot up some. Better still if said target is disordered and.or flanked. All this would be a cavalry commander's dream come true. But dreams don't always come true.
