The allied Pelardon infantry move forward under the able command of the Fenwick general Von Messing, Pelardon grenadiers charge the Monrovian grenadiers who have just managed to form up into a ragged line ...

The Monrovian cavalry can no longer hold their ground and break and rout ....

The Monrovian grenadiers break and rout ....

The routing Monrovian grenadiers burst through the regiment behind but they don't hold either and break; the Pelardon cuirassiers wade in ...

The Monrovian infantry hold the charge of the allied Fenwick troops ....

Count Malpurgo Belladona (the Monrovian commander) desparately tries to organise a defense of his now open flank...

The Monrovian infantry give way under heavy pressure ...

The Monrovian army is in full collapse with units streaming from the field, being followed up by the Pelardon allied armies' infantry and cavalry ...

With no hope of rallying his troops the Monrovian commander leaves the field of battle ...

The Pelardon allied cavalry pursues the remnants of the Monrovian army while infantry follows up - a great victory .
