Autumn was a turn when lots of things happened, the austrians massed on the french border, the russians kept dragging their feet around Europe and fortified the caucasian borders. The british meanwhile seized Mysore, embarked a small expedition on the Caribbean, launched a reinforced fleet aginst the french ships in the Mediterranean, disembarkes Wellington in Portugal and finally invaded Andalusia with a sizeable army. The french for their part evacuated Andalusia for Castilla and attacked the heroic garrison of Gibraltar.
The redcoats defend a chateau on the slopes of the Rock
The french deploy: two units of infantry, one of cavalry
The french form into line and advance
The brits open fire
Finally destroying one unit
But they are in turn routed and Gibraltar passes into french hands
