Prussian IR 3 does what it does best.....

Run!!!!

Keith close to victory..... then IR3 ran.... disgracing itself as at Dresden. Keith was also wounded during the action.... the reason for the white loop on the figure.

The game is once again in the balance. With the Austrian dragoons charging Prussian converged grenadier batt. 33/42 and the Austrian grenadiers about to fire a devastating first volley into the flank of IR12.

Moska continued

The Prussian cuirassiers crushed the Austrian cuirassiers. 

The cavalry melee lasted one move leaving the Austrians with 180 casualties(6 figs) and the Prussians 60 (2 figs). The Grenzer lancers watching on decided to ride off into the sunset  ...... Fortunately the Austrian grenadiers were made of better stock and reformed closer to Moska.

The Prussians continued to advance.

Moska

Not much hobby time last week. Hopefully, this week I can finish the scenario based in Lusatia.

Keith has had to call on some of his reserves. 

Will the Austrians hold their nerve!

The Game Progresses

Now the start of the Austrians (8 more photos added)

Austrians on the right flank move forward.

Both the Prussian and Austrian field artillery will fire from off table initially. It can move forward if the game dictates.

Prussians take to the field

Field-Marshal Keith had been given command of the Prussian army in Lusatia. The photographs show some of his troops.

His overall command is:

16 battalions of infantry (incl 3 grenadier)

3 heavy cavalry regiments = 15 squadrons

1 hussar regiment of 5 sqds

Field artillery 12 guns

With part of his army he defends the lands of Lower Lusatia against the Austrians.
