Battle of Alexandria

 The british have landed and march to kick the french out of Egypt
 The republicans open the ball by firing longe range shots
 Then the dragoons charge
 Wounding Abercrombie and pushing the infantry back
 The british riders charge too
 In the left flank both sides maintain a standoff
 Finally the dragoons rout the redcoats
 Crashing into the second line
 The british hussars, after bouncing from a french square, go for the artillery
 French and english clash in the left
 The dragoons countercharge the hussars in the flank
 And push them back
 Both units of cavalry have been mauled and retreat behind the infantry lines
 A final charge of the hussars sees them blown away by canister and musketry

 Last charge of the battle sees the british guns retiring behind the cavalry
i
Battle comes to an end with a french victory 2-0
