Re: The Prussian Heyday Round 4

We are waiting for the result of the battle between Ironclad and LinkinBrick to complete the round.

After that we move onto the battle of Gravelotte in 1870.

Re: The Prussian Heyday Round 4

The forces of France have captured Minden after a long fought battle against a tenacious enemy. He stood on the ridge and our main attack went in there slowly taking out his infantry and the cavalry he rushed up to support them. His main line moved to the left and advanced and our left wing moved in...

Re: The Prussian Heyday Round 2

Yes, there is a thread unfortunately I labelled it with round 3 of the previous campaign....i just pick up the drop box and change the number.
I sent you and the others a PM at the same time.
You should have been playing Doyley50, with him setting up the game. All the other games are completed.

Re: Feudal lords rule campaign Round 3

We are just waiting for the result of the battle between Doyley50 and Ciberpencho and then we can move to round 4.

I've decided not to play Gravelotte as the 5th round, it wasn't really a Prussian battle, and it means we play each of the opposing team once to finish the tournament.

Re: Feudal lords rule campaign Round 3

Strengthening the Swedish Works is a gamble, you have to race to get them there before the Prussians arrive in strength. I sacrifice a couple of cavalry units to hold up the Prussian infantry, but because he didn't form square the cavalry broke holes rather than dieing. This is one of the few battle...

Re: Feudal lords rule campaign Round 3

We have successful defended Kolin from Ironclad's Prussians. Our right wing cavalry put up a stubborn defense of the river for quite a while. We rushed troops into the Swedish works and managed to destroy the Prussians there. Our other troops raced towards the sound of gunfire and gradually repulsed...

Re: The Prussian Heyday Round 2

The Austrians have repulsed the Prussian attack on Kesseldorf. The Prussians held back from attacking the town itself and were slow to attack on their right. The Austrians pulled back on the otherside of the town while racing forward with their strung out right wing. The artillery in the town pounde...

Re: The Prussian Heyday Round 1

Well played by Master Gribol, a sustained, aggressive and disciplined Prussian advance with no regards to their own losses simply overwhelmed the Austrians before they could bring their numbers to bear.
