The Combat of Pretzsch 1759 Scenario

[RMD]

I've got a modestly-sized Austrian v Prussian scenario (the Combat of Pretzsch, 29th October 1759) on my blog. As well as the full scenario there's a small 'vignette' scenario, concentrating on the main action between Wunsch's Prussians and Arenberg's Austrians.

Wow - you've packed a shed-load of research into that. Well done and thank you for sharing - it's relatively rare to come across smaller actions from the SYW that someone has delved this deeply into.

Excellent work, mate, and an interesting situation. I agree, there was a lot going on in Saxony and Silesia that gets overlooked because Big Fred wasn't there.

Very interesting read, impressive all-round.

Thanks fellas!

I hope to add some more Saxony battles to the blog soon(ish): Korbitz, Strehla and Torgau. The first two involve lots of Reichsarmee units, which are always good fun. The third features Big Fred and is a pretty massive scenario, largely fought on the earlier battlefield of Zinna.

I've just noticed that I failed to name one of the villages at the top-left of the map. That should be labelled 'Kechs'.

Torgau is a very interesting battle, mate, one of my favourites. Ziethen's divergence from the plan helped save Fred's rep (how many times now have his generals done that?). Also a few more grains of powder in one particular Austrian musket cartridge and it was "Bye, bye, Freddie". I hadn't heard of Strehla- it may be a hard one to balance for a game.
