Thursday was the anniversary of Frederick the Great's stunning victory at Leuthen, where having duffed up the French a month earlier he gave the Austrians a good drubbing and shattered their army. That's not what usually happens when we play Leuthen, and so far the score is Austria 7, Prussia 4. Room for improvement your Greatness.
Anyway, everything is set up for the game. Figures and table sorted. We're using Paul Stevensons own set of rules, Panoply of War having used Black Powder and Honours of War with varying degrees of satisfaction.
As ever I am sure it'll be a challenge for both sides. I get to play as well tomorrow so am looking forward to it.

Great looking set up hope the battle goes well 👍
ReplyDelete7 to 4 Austrians, perhaps the scenario needs a little tweaking?

The early games were marked by inept Prussian commanders and just plain bad luck. Same scenario you played in at Kenilworth in 2017.
