NIEDERSOHREN, Aug. 16--A bloody collision is reported along the Hochwald frontier between the Pfalzgraftum von Waldreck and the Herzogtum von Pfalz-Kognat-Obersayn. Hunsrucker Allgemeine Zeitung correspondents report the rumble of artillery and the shriek of maddened horses echoing down the Rohrbach valley. Fierce cavalry skirmishing throughout the morning has not yielded a decision as the two commanders struggle for position along the Niedersohren crossroads to secure or deny passage of needed supplies to the Waldrecker forces besieging Festung Dolmen.

'Minor' encounters can make great games - and be heavy with consequences at campaign level.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the unfolding of the events.

P.S.: enjoyed to discover new units not yet fully described in your posts: maybe their 'unit profiles' are to come? Thanks for sharing!
Great photo. It captured the "Sturm und Drang" of the combat. Am looking forward to more updates. No doubt it "Twas a famous victory."
