Yes, Torgau looks fun and might be better played as completely separate games, given that neither 'front' had a clue what the other was doing!Spanner wrote: ↑Mon Jan 09, 2023 12:07 am 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.
Yes, Strehla's going to be a tough one for the Prussians if the entire Reichsarmee is let off the leash from Turn 1 and I was scratching my head about that. I think that Zweibrucken's main attack is conditional upon the Duerre-Berg being captured by the left wing first, so that will probably be the trigger that allows the bulk of the Reichsarmee to attack. However, if the Duerre-Berg falls it'll probably be game over for the Prussians anyway.
It may well turn out to be a crap game, but it will give me the spur to get the Reichsarmee finished and the first units of Kleist's Freikorps painted.
Oh and Freiberg! I've just got some city walls to do that 'un.
