II Corp Continues to Struggle

 As this shot of Turn 28 shows, I have still not got a foothold any where along the Allied line. 


Looking at the start of turn 31 and it appears I have not made much of a dent in the Allied lines, because I haven't!


 The Allied troops have moved to the right of Wellington's line. His center is getting thin, and the fight for the highest point of the battlefield has seen several cavalry charges, intense artillery barrages, and infantry getting into sharp firefights. We both call this area the "Valley of Death!". I did take Hougomont, and received the Morale boost (20+ points), but it is because my opponent "gave" it to me instead of making me fight for it. There was some engagement with the skirmishers, but I foresee this location staying French.


Now it is turn 35, about 5:45 in the afternoon. The Prussians are on the board, and I have yet to puncture Wellington's lines. I'm poised to get elements of both I and II Corp into the Allied formations, but I think I will have complete army morale collapse before I can get the Imperial Guard into the fight.
