ADLG-R this time with my Austrians taking on Simons Ottoman Turks. The Austrians were please to get a waterway and a large hill, promptly deploying in the gap between them in at attempt to neutralise the Ottoman's greater maneuverability:
The Austrian centre and right advance quickly:
The Turks move through the enclosures:
On the right the Austrians press their advantage in numbers:
The Austrian cavalry charge:
Austrian infantry and Janissaries exchange fire:
The situation looks good for the Austrian right:
Grenzers join in the firefight from the hill:
Turkish cavalry join in but take some hits:
On the right the Austrians have mostly dispersed the enemy:
They are also winning the firefight in the centre:
Janissaries charge:
The charge fails and the firefight continues:
The Turkish left flank has been destroyed:
Grenzers continue to hold the hill:
It's all over for the Ottomans as they collapse to a heavy defeat:
A comprehensive victory for the Austrians possibly aided by some poor scouting/spying from the Ottomans (Simon thought I was going to use Polish, I said I'd use Polish
or Austrians!). The battalion guns and having a couple of elite units meant we comfortably outshot the Ottoman infantry and only a couple of units got into contact to use their 'impact' advantage. The terrain certainly helped as well, greatly narrowing the fighting frontage and preventing the Ottomans using their much more numerous cavalry effectively.
