The fictional Battle of Koschlitz 1757 saw my Austrians take on Steve’s Prussians in a tense Seven Years War clash packed with cavalry charges, musket volleys, and plenty of dice drama.
The armies lined up in classic style, with infantry brigades supported by cavalry wings and artillery. From the very start, the cavalry stole the show. Charge met counter-charge across the field, but—against all odds—my Austrians managed to smash through the Prussian horse, sending units retreating and even hitting two in the rear to destroy them outright. Suddenly, the path behind Steve’s infantry began to open up.
Meanwhile, the Prussians tried to make use of their superior drill, obliquing and shifting to threaten my flanks. It slowed their advance, but it also created dangerous gaps in their line. When musketry finally erupted, the dice betrayed Steve—his infantry faltered while mine held firm. With my cuirassiers rallying to swing behind his army and my centre ready to pour fire into exposed flanks, Steve conceded the field.
It was one of those games where the dice gods clearly picked a side, but the battle was exciting, cinematic, and great fun to play. Join us for photos and highlights from this dramatic encounter!
