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..
