Martin has already posted a report of this game over on his blog -
see it here. So I'll not say much except where I feel the Austrian point of view needs representing more accurately!
In the game I was General Clam Gallas - derided by the Prussians who claimed 'he eats better than he fights." Which just makes me like him all the more! Anyway, in between ordering and eating a seventeen course lunch I conducted a masterly defence of the area.
Here is my Austrian corps deployed for defence...
...and here my tardy Saxon allies march lethargically into position.
As hordes of unsmiling black-clad Prussians flowed over the bridge my chaps set to with shovels and dug in.
As my chaps came under pressure I managed some inspired dice rolling!
Meanwhile the Saxons - having had a brief glimpse of the enemy - buggered off.
In between courses Clam Gallas had displayed enough leadership to hold off the Prussians and then extricate his men. Clearly a major Austrian victory then. No really.
Looks brilliant!
