The French exit hex is almost impossible to attain. The Prussians can get good points by exiting a brigade plus their cavalry and leaving some guns and a cavalry screen behind to block the French.
Played as the first battle of historical campaign. Were we able to replay this, I think we would just cycle through the battle as it offers no chance for the French to win and a great possible cost in men to the Allies.
The exit hex holds the key
