The Attack of the Austrians.

Set during the SYW with the Prussians defending a vital crossroads and a town.

The Austrians lunched an attack straight at the Prussians but also a flanking attack on the Prussian left.

The Prussians had set up some defensive works in front of the Austrian army making it difficult to attack them frontally. The Austrians therefore moved a large part of their force to the Prussian left and some of their cavalry to the Prussian right flank.

Slowly the more numerous Austrian army pushed in the Prussians until they broke and fled.

With the Austrians almost surrounding the town the Prussian army had no choice but to abandon their hold on the town and give it up to the Austrians.

At the end of the game the Prussian still held the town but we decided that it was only a matter of time until the Austrians would take that too.
