Strehla 1760
Our next Twilight Game will be a Seven Years War scenario prepared by the author Nick Dorrell. We will be playing using Tabletop Simulator, since players are separated by the Alps.
We are using the material present in the game module, the map and the unit identifiers, used as block stickers.
We need average dice, here they have been done using the custom dice tool and modifying the D6 image as needed.
Anybody wishing to try this game on Tabletop Simulator is very welcome, We are happy to share the module. Please just add a comment below.
Turn 1
The allied have decided to make converging attacks with a simultaneous entry at Klotitz and being the Otten Berge. The left and center commander, Stolberg, manages to enter on Turn 1 while the Army commander, Prince of Zweibrucken, is delayed. On the Prussian side the Army Commander, also handling the right and centre, sees the enemy arriving and is activated.
Turn 3
During this turn the Prussians have started reacting to the attack on their right flank. The allied have decided to progress in a compact order, slowed down by the progress through towns.
Should it be better to launch an attack where possible, without waiting ?
Turn 4
Allied and Prussians alike are having problems in manoeuvring close to villages and in woods. maybe the allied did not make the good choice in attacking the right prussian wing in the woods.
Turn 6
It appears that both armies have been manuevering as if they were earlier armies, from the beginning of the century. Best approach would have been to approach in column and then deploy, thus avoiding close terrain as towns, which have considerably slowed down movements.
First clash between light cavalry near Klingenheim! Prussians cared and won the melee.
Another novelty we found is that cavalry in line may not enter bad going, so we had to manoeuvre them out of the woods and towns.
Turn 8
During Turn 8 a fire exchange has started between the allied light troops in the wood and the prussians defending the wood. The allied right wing has been bombarded by the prussian gun concentration without much effect.
