400 turns; 16 months. Major victory for the Austrians even if by the end of the game the Austrians remained with 500 horses and 200 infantry still standing. Whether that constitutes a major victory is debateable.
Campaign games are recommended. You have time to develop a strategy. You have to scout and guess an opponent's intentions. In our campaign a major battle took place in the middle of nowhere, a classic escalating encounter battle where the Austrians were divested of most of their artillery.

I think that I ended up controlling the battlefield i.e. won the battle but lost the campaign. I would have most likely had to retreat back to France and rebuild my army. Fun game though. I couple of forced river crossings, skirmishes, meeting engagements and flanking maneuvers.
