This went unexpectedly well for the British as they managed to turn both SS flanks early in the game. I chose to pull the SS back toward Cheux, but they proceeded to suffer heavy casualties in the process. British artillery was very effective at disrupting and demoralizing the SS which gave them more freedom to advance without fear of opp fire. The British were then well positioned to attack Cheux well before SS reinforcements began arriving. The SS ended with a strong counterattack gathering in the area to the southwest of Cheux.

I'm not a fan of all the special rules in these early BN scenarios. I'm thinking of scrapping the formation rules entirely since no other game uses them that I have seen. I'm willing to give up a bit of historicity in the interest of faster play.
