The Battle of Reichenberg - When Frederick advanced into Bohemia to start the 1757 campaign the Austrians were still trying to gather their troops. The isolated corps of Count von Koenigsegg, tried to delay a force of Prussians under Bevern at Reichenberg. Bevern decided to attack, despite the fact that the Austrians slightly outnumbered him and were posted in a strong defensive position.

Challenging scenario for either side with many decisions.
Both sides have a lot of options of how and where to fight. Prussians have a quality advantage, Austrians have several strong defensive positions and a superiority in artillery and infantry.
Tough challenge for the Prussians. I have played this now as each side and the Prussians got slaughtered each time...
