| Prussian right flank. Curiassiers in the rear, Landwehr in the forest. |
 |
| Prussian left flank. Grand battery on the left side of the picture, musketeers and a howitzer battery on the hill. |
 |
| The French. Voltigeurs and Chasseurs. |
 |
| The Bavarians. |
 |
| Somewhat later in the battle, Bavarian regiments wheel about onto the Prussian rear. |
 |
| The Prussian Landwehr cheer as they destroy a unit of Voltigeurs. |
 |
| But the rest of the Prussian army is destroyed in a battle of attrition from musket fire and charges. The Landwehr are taken prisoner, and only the cuirassiers and howitzer make it to safety. The grand battery was forced to flee from combat with the Voltigeurs. |
The French and Bavarians are now the uncontested rulers of this corner of Forgotten Germany. Their were only two battles in this campaign, but lots of fun map maneuvering. I like the Solo Wargamers Guide campaign rules, and they work well with Guard Du Corps. Until next time, thanks for reading!
