#39;ve watched it a dozen times
since this discussion started. It fades at an inopportune time, but my
best narrative is that the lancers charged and took shell shot from the
big guns. The artillery troops then took skirmish formation and fired at
the oncoming cavalry formation. There is a fade as the cavalry reaches
their position, but you can then see the foot troops charge forward into
the approaching cavalry where after a very short time they are dead. The
lancers begin waving hats, etc in celebration.<br><br>
