    The thing that is usually missing (and hard to inertly reproduce for reenactments) is the effects of the six and 12 pounder round shot. One soldier talked about a round shot coming through the British ranks and taking out a dozen men. Horse artillery was normally used in conjunction with cavalry to breakup formations so the lancers could finish off the scattered. Fortunately for the British, the previous night's rain had softened the ground so many of the French round shot burrowed-in instead of skipping into their ranks, and Wellington had the good sense to have his men lay down so, at least, some of them passed over the British squares. Like Lil Alex quipped in Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange", "real horror show".
