Game is over
Prussians(Prinz Henrich)lost 7 light guns, 2230 menand 75 cavalry, 2305 in all. Puttkamer (Headcom.)suriveved
Austrians (jackx) lost 11 medium guns, 1936 men, 62 cavalry, in all 1998 men.
Austrians win althrough much losses.

Yes, through a combination of some avoidable mistakes/oversights on my part, and excellent play on PH's part, that was a much bloodier affair for the Austrians than it should have been.

Of the Prussian losses, 3 battalions and 1 squadron are captured and 1 battalion disbanded and fled (for a total of about 1900 men, roughly).
1 Austrian battalion was captured (400 men), and some of their losses are from fleeing units, but that barely diminishes the huge disparity in actual casualties brought about by a most tenacious Prussian defense.

(Numbers could be off, since I can't reload the last turn and check... )

I will send you next HNM PBEM file and you can see exactly unit strengh. I can't say I do the best I can but I admit in last turn I couldn't say a word. Your manoeuvres were masterfull.
Two Austrians battalions were surrender I think. If I were you I would wait for more units before frontal attack or made flank march by partofmy unit, while artillery would made their job.

Thanks. Was a good learning experience for me, I was overconfident and didn't have a contigency plan, and paid the price.

However, while I, with a bit of help from your Hussars, completely botched the frontal attack, I still think it's possible to win as the Austrians with just Macquire's troops.

Yes I think that too! If you want I can show you, of course you should be the Prussians.

Sure. I'm up for another game, and for being schooled some more.[8D]
