Description: 10 July 1866. At the start

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.

will run a scaled down version of this interesting battle.
