All this time, the Austrians kept at least one battery pounding at the wagons with great effects! The toll is appalling!

The Cashier says...

Prussian losses:
The Grenadier Brigade broken: 4 VPs for the Austrians
Three other units destroyed: 3 VPs
Two cavalry and one infantry reforming: 1,5 VP
Seven Wagons destroyed (!) rounded down to 1,5 VP
Total: 10 VPs for the Austrians

Austrian losses:
Two units destroyed: 2 VPs
One battery destroyed: 1 VP extra
Two cavalry and two infantry reforming: 2 VPs
Total: 5 VPs for the Prussians

Although the Prussians came very near their Army Total Breaking Point, the result is considered a marginal Austrian victory.

Looks great! Thanks for the AAR.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Thank you my friend! It was a thrilling game, the Prussians had many chances to win, but the god of dice was with the Austrian side  :D

These wagons were put to frustrate the Prussian to attack the sooner possible! It is a scenario one should give some attention. If the Prussians manage to annihilate the left wing Austrian brigade, then they can shave of every Austrian battery shooting at the wagons, winning 2 Victory Points for each! I say if...  :D
