As a test match, even armies with subtle differences in troop types and morale and training were chosen, with an abundance of rookies and low morale, a common feature in these armies composed of troops with little or no training and low combative spirit, however, the rules contemplates the possibility of ascending some units to better degrees of morale and training.
First Phase
The battle begins with an attack on the French right flank by the British native elephants, who are rejected by the Indian medium artillery that uses French pieces as well as by the fire of the dismounted camelry that equate their hand guns to the Light artillery. The elephants rout and do not recover for the rest of the game, as a reaction to this rout, the sixth sepoy regiment, retreat facing the enemy. In the forest in front of the 6th sepoy and the 1st regiment of Madras, the French Allied native levies attempt a failed charge against the sepoys causing them disorganization.
In the center, the British and ally native artillery performs several shots causing some point of disorganization (Ds.) but without consequences. The British allied light cavalry advanced in skirmishers to make use of its bows, behind them the indian heavy cavalry advanced protected by the screen of mounted archers. The French allied rocket fighters shoot the mounted archers causing some Ds.
On the French Left flank, allied archers advance to flank the British Allied levies and archers. The British allied heavy bombard makes fire inflicting Ds. to the mounted archers. British allied footmen advance to attack the light pieces of the French Corps Royal d'Artillerie.

Second stage
On the left French flank the British sepoys flank the forest to face the French Allied camelty. The Europeans of Madras face the native musketeers armed with flintlock muskets causing them several Ds. Without the Indian musketeers being able to respond due to the smaller range of their muskets.
The allied native French levies make a new attempt of failed charge which causes them to disorganize (+5 Ds.), After the morale check the result is of routed by which they force the units within 20cm to check moral although all units past the test.
In the center the British allied light cavalry shoot with its arches the French battalion of the East Indian Company causing some Ds., At the same time they are replicated by the battalion and by French light artillery that fires at a distance of shrapnel although the effects Of the shots are reduced by the formation in skirmishers of the horsemen.
In the French left flank the native archers advance towards allied British begin to harass the French artillery. He now directs his shots at them from shrapnel backed by a native bombard. The archers are disorganized and after the moral test they rout without serious consequences for the friendly units next to them.

Third phase
On the French right flank, the French Allied native cams are able to stop the flight, the exchange of shots between the 6th of British and the 1st of Madras with French camelry and allied musketeers respectively.
In the center the British Allied Light Cavalry retired giving way to an attempted charge of the British Heavy Allied cavalry against the East India Company battalion. The morale test is successful and the charge is carried out. The French choose to stay at it and allow them to make a close-range firing that is reinforced by the Allied rocket fighters and French light artillery. The charge is stopped even though the indian heavy riders withdraw in order.
On the French right flank the British Allied archers continue routed and the French Allied horse archeers approach the heavy bombard that fires at them causing them some Ds.
Fourth Phase
In the center the French musketeers again supported by light artillery and rocket fire at the Indian heavy riders, causing them total disorganization and flight.
Having three disorganized units and routed, the British withdraw since the average morale and training is D and Raw so that with 30% of units defeated (rounding up) and retreat in order from the field with French victory.
