Notes on Game
This is the first time I have ever had to take prisoners during a game
The Prussian infantry and cavalry rout was pinned by French infantry and cavalry
We have no rules for POW so had to agree what would happen
We agreed that the cavalry would escort the prisoners
As this happened just before nightfall we did not have to agree for how long
