The lads continue to maneuver after our first engagement. Austria and Russia have allied against Prussia. Russian forces that have ventured into Prussian territory are now headed south to join up with Austrian forces.
In the meantime, France has joined with Prussia and are mobilizing to attack Austria from the west. This should draw away some of Austria's brigades from the north. France is also allied with Hanover. This secures France's northern border, at least, for the moment. At the same time, Hanover is at war with Prussia, so only time will tell how these political maneuvering a will pan out.
It appears that the next battles will take place along the southern border of Prussia. We have set aside The afternoon of May 16 to resolve these conflicts on the wargaming table. Interest in the campaign remains high. Stay tuned for further developments.

Wow, some exciting stuff! I eagerly await more posts! The Franco-Prussian alliance seems precarious in light of the Hanoverian position...
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you Brian? How is school going?
DeleteSchool is going well, thanks! Though I haven't devoted a lot of time to it, I have done a bit of figure painting at UCLA. It draws a fair amount of attention and interest in the lounge!
