Magnificent looking campaign and a great battle. Who is on whose side?
It's the French and British helping out the minor German states (Wurttemberg, Hesse-Darmstadt, Baden), versus the invading hun masses (Prussia, Austria and Bavaria).

Sounds vaguely reminiscent of a series entitled "Seven Weeks Solo" in (I think) John Tunstall's "Miniature Warfare" magazine back in the early 70s. Fought out using converted Airfix figures and a map of Ireland, but replicating the eponymous Seven Weeks' (Austro-Prussian) War of 1866..

I thought the Ireland game was ACW?

Yes, you're right, I think it was in retrospect (and even at the time).

I have no clue where that tidbit of information was stored!
