Scenario Briefing: What-if - Minucci's Bavarian detachment was under orders to retreat in the face of the superior Austrian forces under Charles of Lorraine. Instead, he rashly chose to stand and fight against the Austrian advance guard under Berlichingen, calling up reinforcements to do so.
The result was a disaster that wrecked the Bavarian forces and saw Minucci and most of his subordinate commanders taken prisoner. The Austrians were subsequently able to invest Braunau and take other, French-held, towns.
This what-if scenario allows the Bavarian garrison in Braunau to come into play, giving Minucci a chance to maul the Austrian advance guard while the main body of the Austrian army remain fixed. However, there is also a chance that elements of the Austrian Observation Corps operating south of the Inn may arrive on the field; dare the Bavarians risk leaving the fortress of Braunau exposed to this threat?
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played as the Pragmatic Alliance against the Anti-Pragmatic AI, but can be played from either side or Head-to-Head.
