The Loose Association of Wargamers

I already have two SYW battles I'm waiting to game but adding another to the list wouldn't hurt.

Torgau in 1760 seems a possibility.

For those of you who don't know it:

The compelling aspect of it as a game is that the Austrians sit in the centre and are assailed from two sides. This doesn't happen often.

The challenge is the size of the battle (both in numbers & in space), which might make it difficult/impossible to do.
The other challenge is Ziethen's "Hail Mary" attack: it might be too difficult to allow a possibility....unless you have an umpire (who'd be me....sigh....).

At any rate, anyone gamed Torgau? I'd like to hear your experiences.

No, not yet, but it's one I've always wanted to do. However, I'm short on the order of battle by 20 Prussian infantry battalions and 9 grenadier battalions. That said, if I draft my Wurttembergers into the Prussian army, that'll add 10 infantry and 3 grenadier battalions, so we'll be part-way there.
