SYW Global Campaign - 1758, Prussia vs Russia

 Russia invades East Prussia (Again)


PR + PO 560 pts vs RU 460 pts

This is one of the two games we played to resolve this battle.

Right off the bat, the Prussians are playing aggressively, advancing on almost all fronts. By the second round of the first turn, the Prussians have taken the middle town, pushed up with their cavalry brigades on both sides, and sent the Guards down the road on their right side, heading towards the Russian camp.

Unfortunately, the Russian commanders are less in control. Most corps on their left side (Prussian right) do not activate.

Seeing the Prussian cavalry from across the river, the Russians deploy their infantry, ready for a fight. Meanwhile, the Prussian Guards are still making their way towards the Russian camp.

By turn 1 round 3, the Russian camp is taken.

The Russian cavalry brigades near their camp are now caught between the Prussian infantry, and the advancing Polish cavalry.

At the same time, the Russian center is also in risk of being overrun. 


Strong Russian shooting blunts the Polish cavalry attack.

Being attacked from all sides, and with their main camp taken, the Russians are looking surrendered. 

At the end of turn 2, the game ends with many Russians being run.
