Another battle from the Fescennia campaign of 1820 - the Battel of Ouies. The Arcadians are attacking the Nemeans, the latter in position in difficult terrain, but with too much cavalry and their left flank "in the air", while the former have plenty of infantry and artillery, but a river to cross first to engage the enemy.
