Napoleon faces off an ottoman invasion on the shores of Aboukir Bay
The french are way outnumbered
First turk line
Second line with cavalry in front
The french begin by launching their dragoons at the redoubt
But are repulsed
Next comes the infantry
That takes the redoubt while ottoman levy rides around
Then the dragoons go for a mauled square but are again pushed back
The square is then blown up by cannonfire
In the left the kapikulu guard has charged a square but combat remains inconclusive
Sipahis charge the french guns
Routing the crews
Then the dragoons are also charged
The turks cut the left square to bloody ribbons
And the sipahi run over the french riders
In a bid to secure a tie Napoleon occupies a redoubt (wich grants one victory point)
The battle comes to an end with a draw
De bien belles unités et une période magnifique...belle bataille!
