One last game session at the Kelsey Center in Sayward.
It was an amazing fast-paced game played by two experienced players.
Austrians vs Italians and Bavarians.
Since both players were so experienced there were virtually no delays between moves and both players were fast in taking actions.
Again a time-lapse was made of the game and some images were inserted into the video.
It was a simple Italio-Bavarian attack against the Austrian defenders.
Austrians chose to line up everyone on the front line and push forward along a line of tall hills in the south, with a division holding a lower hill in the north.
The Italio-Bavarians, foot troops moved forward to engage on the low hill, then cover the flank from the tall hills - then on turn four the flank riding light cavalry division arrived and smashed the Austrian position on the low hill - driving over the Austrian field command HQ. It was a 'French' victory with horrendous casualties among the foot troops.
At one point, just before the light cavalry flank arrived the Italians were in danger of retreating from the field - the casualties had been that bad.
I am attaching all the images this time that were used in the video.

| the many casualties around the Austrian Grenadier Battalion seen here also is the 'shaken' markers that I use a 1/2 wagon wheel and a drum or broken musket |

| many many casualties pile up around a Bavarian 1/2 foot battery ... |

| Austrian horse did tough work off a tall hill and into a thicket of woods - defeating a Jager brigade by flank attack while pushing on the front! |
 |
| In the end Austrian divisions just could not maintain morale while loosing so many men |
All-in-all a really great game!
