This is basically the Fontenoy system but it has two major problems over those of its siblings. Firstly the opening set-up seems to be just plain wrong. The approach march is being made at about 45 degrees to the Austrian front instead of the almost 90 degrees actually achieved. Not that this much matters because (at this is quite staggering) the Austrian line is butted up against the edge of the map (so most of the game occurs on half of the map)! Secondly, the Prussians have more sub-commands than the Austrians so in the average turn the Austrians have moved before all the Prussians (which is also pretty staggering). I have not considered how one might overcome these problems, but here is a set-up with which to experiment. Duffy set-up These forces set up, usually in two lines. Habsburg & Imperial troops Serbelloni (2205-2005 and 2204 - 2004) Colloredo (1704-1404, 1703-1303) Kheul (1304 & 1204, 1103-0803, and 1102-0802) Regiment of Roth at 1202 (defended Leuthen Church) "Lucky" Lucchese (North of the wood, 0703-0502) Croats in the woods around 0809 Arenburg (0402-0301-to edge) Nadasti (German regiments - Bavaria and Württenburg - 2604-2043, 2703-2502) (cavalry 2801-2702 facing the Prussians) (rest of foot 2503-2103, 2502-2102) The Prussians Ziethen (including the Ziethen HR, 2903-3102, 3004-3103) Württemburg: 3107-3009 Dreisen: (including the Puttkammer HR 2511+2512+2612) The infantry are in a double line (2904-2610, 3005-2710) IR Meyerink at 2803.
