My battle against SMJohnso77 has ended in a very bloody mutual destruction. His initial long range shooting was more effective than mine, but his attack through the woods onto my left flank was repulsed with heavy loses. I withdrew my right flank from his strong attack there and used the troops to r...

So that was the best round for the Austrian/French so far with 3 wins to 2.

So the score is Prussians 12, Austrian/French 8.

The fifth battle is Gravelotte the largest battle of the Franco-Prussian war.

Against the Prussian player sets up the battle using the password 1870.


Doyley50 play LinkinBrick

Gribol plays Dilly

Ironclad plays W_Michael

PeterthePainter plays Ciberpencho

SMJohnso77 plays awesum4

We will start round 5, as it doesn't depend on the outcome of the last battle.

I'll adjust the level of Prussian superiority after the result comes in. Currently it stands at 12 wins for Prussia to 7 wins for Austria/France

We are waiting for the result of the battle between Ironclad and LinkinBrick to complete the round.

After that we move onto the battle of Gravelotte in 1870.

The forces of France have captured Minden after a long fought battle against a tenacious enemy. He stood on the ridge and our main attack went in there slowly taking out his infantry and the cavalry he rushed up to support them. His main line moved to the left and advanced and our left wing moved in...

Round 4 of the Campaign is The Battle of Minden in August of 1759. The Prussians are now part of an Alliance with Great Britain and various German States but the commander is the Prussian Field Marshal Ferdinand of Brunswick. The enemy is now the French under the Marshal of France, Matquis de Contad...

So once again the Prussians win the majority of the battles, 3 out of 5. So the accumulated score is Prussians 10, Austrians 5

Yes, there is a thread unfortunately I labelled it with round 3 of the previous campaign....i just pick up the drop box and change the number.
I sent you and the others a PM at the same time.
You should have been playing Doyley50, with him setting up the game. All the other games are completed.

We are just waiting for the result of the battle between Doyley50 and Ciberpencho and then we can move to round 4.

I've decided not to play Gravelotte as the 5th round, it wasn't really a Prussian battle, and it means we play each of the opposing team once to finish the tournament.

Strengthening the Swedish Works is a gamble, you have to race to get them there before the Prussians arrive in strength. I sacrifice a couple of cavalry units to hold up the Prussian infantry, but because he didn't form square the cavalry broke holes rather than dieing. This is one of the few battle...

We have successful defended Kolin from Ironclad's Prussians. Our right wing cavalry put up a stubborn defense of the river for quite a while. We rushed troops into the Swedish works and managed to destroy the Prussians there. Our other troops raced towards the sound of gunfire and gradually repulsed...

12 years after Kesseldorf the hostilities between Prussia and Austrian have exploded into the 3rd Silesian War. The armies meet at Kolin, can the Austrians finally regain their honour with victories on the Battlefield? Prussian player (first one mentioned) sets up the battle. Password 1757. Doyley50...

So the Austrians have done slightly better this round winning 2 games out of 5.

So the accummulated score is Prussians 7, Austrians 3.

We march on to Kolin

The Austrians have repulsed the Prussian attack on Kesseldorf. The Prussians held back from attacking the town itself and were slow to attack on their right. The Austrians pulled back on the otherside of the town while racing forward with their strung out right wing. The artillery in the town pounde...

My apologies.

The teams are fixed.

Ironclad is Prussian against Ciberpencho's Austrians and sets up the game.

PeterthePainter is Prussian against LinkinBrick's Austrians.

Just 10 weeks after their victory at Soor the Prussians are again attacking the Austrians, this time at Kesseldorf. Can the Austrians win this time? The Prussian player to again set up the battel, password 1745; Doyley50 against awesum4 Gribol against Ciberpencho Dilly against Ironclad LinkinBrick a...

So a massive victory 4 to 1 to the Prussians.....but its early days yet...

Well played by Master Gribol, a sustained, aggressive and disciplined Prussian advance with no regards to their own losses simply overwhelmed the Austrians before they could bring their numbers to bear.

We have 5 players on each side. The nasty aggressive ruthlessly efficient Prussians are played by; Doyley50 Gribol, SMJohnso77 PeterthePainter Ironclad The heroic but often incompetently led Austrians, and equally heroic and often incompetently led French are played by; W-Michael awesum4 LinkinBrick...
