Earlier today, the French and Prussian armies clashed in a brutal skirmish for control of a table. Each side had 11 infantry and eight cavalrymen.
The battle started when the Prussian Curassiers raced forward to lure the French cavalry into a fight. However this did not succeed and the Cavalry simply cantered along in support of the infantry. The Prussians abandoned their original plan and set up a defensive line, deliberately leaving their left flank exposed.
The French marched forward and straight into a Prussian volley, they lost two men and one cavalryman while the Prussians lost one. In the meantime the French cavalry split into two groups with one group supporting the infantry and the other protecting the right flank.
The Prussians held their position and wore down the French attackers until the time was right.
The Prussian cavalry charged into the infantry, killing many. However the French fought harder than expected and killed off my cavalrymen - only to fall prey to the guns of my infantry who poured volleys into the French.
However, I, Generalfeldmarschall Jakob von Morris am not completely without mercy, I proposed my terms of surrender and they promptly agreed. Thomas' cavalry on the other hand turned and fled the battlefield. The five French prisoners were marched away while the Prussians celebrated their victory.
This was a very successful battle for me!
