The British High Command Reacts

The British High Command could not be more thrilled with the performance of Colonel Carter.  For the loss of just one band of local guerillas, a handful of infantry, and some battered cavalry, Co. Carter managed to prevent the loss of even a single grain of wheat from the Five Villages county.  So impressed are they with his performance that they have decided to allow him to continue his success with the forces he has on hand.  However, a small handful of previously wounded or incapacitated troops arrive in the night to replace British losses.

As night fell, the British forces controlled Orange Chicken Bridge and Hethwill Farm.  They have no knowledge of the whereabouts of the remaining French forces nor what reinforcements may arrive on Day Two. 

General Irban retains command of the following forces present in the operational area at the start of Day Two:
