Wargame, and the cavalry charged home

Have been wanting to try this simple scenario for some time. Having a break from my paperwork, I decided to give it a go. Firstly, dice were thrown to see which side would comprise two brigades of cavalry, and which would comprise a brigade of infantry, supported by a light artillery battery. On open ground the two sides clashed. 

MOVE ONE The Spanish infantry deployed into line, the American cavalry advanced, some regiments deploying into line. MOVE TWO The Spanish made space for their two field guns. All American cavalry deployed into line. MOVE THREE The Spanish guns opened up, one shot passed through the American scouts, the other took down a rider. MOVE FOUR A repeat of the previous move. At half strength, the scouts held but declined to advance further. But their screening had served its purpose. MOVE FIVE The scouts were granted leave to depart the field. The five American regiments of horse continued to advance.

MOVE SIX The Spanish infantry battalions opened fire, as did the artillery, one regiment of horse was destroyed. MOVE SEVEN one battalion delivered a superb volley, taking down an entire charging regiment of horse. However, another regiment was able to charge home, In the melee, it took down three Spanish infantry, although it also lost its final trooper.

MOVE EIGHT The two remaining cavalry regiments charged. One battalion broke, and scattered. The other held fast and broke the cavalry charge.

MOVE NINE The New York Hussars had inflicted three casualties on the routing Spanish infantry. In this move they turned on the neighbouring artillery crews. By MOVE TEN they had inflicted five casualties.

The Spanish commander was so concerned, he ordered his infantry to fire on the melee, knowing it would hit some of his own artillerymen. But it worked, the last cavalry regiment was obliged to test its morale due to losses, and routed.

(I can't be the only one to see something of the 'Charge of the Light Brigade' in this game? For campaign purposes, this occurred on the Florida-Georgia border. MGB)
