Rules: 1866

GM:  Bruce Weigle

Description:  10 July 1866. At the start of the war the VII Federal Corps, the Bavarian army, found it self isolated from the other federal formations in western Germany. It therefore attempted to close up the gap between itself and the VIII Federal Corps. Yet following earlier clashes at Dermbach the Bavarian army had fallen back  to defensive positions along the Frankishe Saale river. On the 10th of July the Prussians attacked these positions at various points to further widen the gap and isolate the Bavarians. The largest action was to be at Kissingen.

Bruce will run a scaled down version of this interesting battle.  

 

NOTE:  NOVAG is pleased to welcome Bruce to a NOVAG Game day.  Speaking personally, his games are always great fun.  Bruce is well known for running visually stunning games.  The board is based on personal investigation and features custom carved foam board.  No styrafoam hills and felt roads here.  The rules likewise are great. are great.
