Prussia invades (French) Hanover
PR 580 pts vs Fr 340 pts
This is one of the two games we played to resolve this battle.
The stage is set, with the Prussians deployed at the bottom, and a smaller French army at the top.
After intentionally losing initiative on the first round, the Prussians win initiative on the second round of turn 1 and rush into the center town before the French can.
At the end of turn 1 round 3, the French infantry brigades have formed lines against the Prussians. However, despite getting to the center town early, the rest of the Prussian infantry brigades are taking a longer time getting to the center.
At the beginning of turn 2, the Saxon cavalry brigades are getting surrounded by French line infantry.
The other Saxon cavalry brigades are also keeping busy on the Prussian right.
On turn 2 round 3, the French infantry brigades on the Prussian left fail their command roll and "charge" into the Prussian cavalry brigades that are enveloping them.
In the mean while, the Saxony cavalry brigades in the center get around the French line, and starts over-running the French canons from behind.
By the end of turn 2 round 3, enough French units broke and the game ends prematurely. This, in a way, allowed more French brigades to escape from the battle.
