It was an epic battle. I think its a mistake to try and take the charge all the way home sometimes.
The Russians were very tired/exhausted. They should have withdrawn to regroup in line. Unfortunately, we tried to continue the push against fresh Polish. In addition, I made the mistake of commiting some fresh Prussian line into the melee without cav support. They were quickly overwhelmed by Frenchies eager to avenge their earlier losses.
A general must keep his eye on his troops fatigue. Withdrawing is a better option than mass rout.
