Battle on the 17th of May


The Prussian and Austrian front line.

Yesterday Thomas and I fought a Napoleonic battle on a tabletop at school. It was between an Austro-Prussian army and the Imperial French army. I will be brief in the details but it was the first battle my Austrians have won so far!

The Prussian cavalry decimated their French counterparts with extremely few losses, while the French infantry column was halted by Austrian musketry. The other column, stalled by the advance of the Prussian cavalry, formed square and played little part in the battle.

After this, the French army was defeated, so a solid victory for me!

Stay tuned everyone!
