Round 3 Grossbeeren
Soul1st (French) - 8 ( lost 39 blocks)
Giulio (Prussian) - 10 (lost 23 blocks)
Fast-paced battle. The French start strong and exert a lot of pressure on their left flank, assaulting the Prussian batteries. The maneuver succeeds but with casualties. The losses on both sides are comparable. At this point the Prussian maneuver on the French right flank taking control of the ridge and inflicting some losses. Twan is probably lacking cards in this section to counter the Prussians, so he decides to advance in the center taking the mill and hill objective points. A couple of cavalry charge by the Prussian increase the loss differential and also reduce the hand size of the French. However, a rally restores a French lancer unit to its full strength and allow Twan to capture two more units. But a Prussian Bayonet charge against squared infantry units closes the game.
Twan played smart: not being able to counter the Prussian in all the sectors, he clinched to the objective points and achieved a very good final score notwithstanding the reduced mobility and hand size. Well played!
