The Spanish advance failed early an activation on two dice.

Crew reloads with canister shot, they manage 1/3 successes to complete the loading.
Black Brunswickers (Matthias)
Also the Black Brunswickers start to reload their canno with canister shot, and reach 1/3 successes.
Turn 2

Group move, then the officer activated and tried to order another group move, but rolled snake eyes!
Black Brunswickers (Matthias)
The crew continued to reload, reaching 2/3 actions.
French (Marc)
The French crew managed to finish the reloading process.
Turn 3
British (Niel)
Group activation on snake eyes.

With a group activation, the crew turned their gun to face the attacking British.
The NCO then fired the gun with canister shot getting 5 enemies into the cone:

- survives unscathed
Spanish (Richard)
The Spanish opened their round with a double fail on their first two dice activation.
Black Brunswickers (Matthias)
The NCO joined the crew, ordered a group activation, and the crew managed to finish the reloading process.
Turn 4
Black Brunswickers (Matthias)
The officer activated the crew with a group move, scoring 1 success and fails. The gun was not turned, and the initiative passed on.
Spanish (Richard)
The Spanish had another snake-eyes activation.
French (Marc)
The officer group activated the crew, which managed to reload the gun with canister shot (2/3).
British (Niel)
The first soldier dashed forward and fired his musket, knocking down one of the French crew.
The next activation roll failed.
Turn 5
Spanish (Richard)
The Spanish continued their rolling of ojos de serpiente.
Black Brunswickers (Matthias)
The Brunswickers fired their cannon at the spread out Spanish attackers.
The shot caused three dead and one knock down.
Two light infantrymen fired their muskets, the British target recoiled, the Spanish target was missed.
French (Marc)
The knocked down crew member stood up.
The Officer rolled for three actions; had the crew finish reloading with a group activation, then fired the gun himself.
Dead, dead, knocked down.
One of the light infantry fired his musket aimed, and killed a British.
A second light infantry missed.
British (Niel)
The majority of the British lads fired aimed shots with their muskets, but none hit their targert.
The closest lad charged the French crew.
Turn 6
French (Marc)
The French crew piled up on the Brit which had charged one of theirs.
The NCO fired an aimed shot and killed one British attacker.
This triggered a Morale roll for the British, 1 lad had enough and fled, all others except one move towards their flag.
The flag bearer then failed his test and fled the field.
Spanish (Richard)
Again ojos de serpiente!
The attackers gave up at this point and retreated.
