Bonjour à tous,
Juin 1866, guerre austro-prussienne.
Bataille de rencontre aujourd'hui entre Serge, Autrichien,
Et de l'autre côté les Prussiens de Christophe et moi-même.
Et comme les Autrichiens avancent vite vers les points de victoire...
Hello everyone,
June 1866, Austro-Prussian war.
Encounter battle today between Serge, Austrian,
And on the other side the Prussians Christopher and myself.
And as the Austrians quickly advance towards victory points ...
|
"Die Kanonen!" Faites parler la poudre! Load the cannons! |
|
Mais pas de quoi effrayer la superbe cavalerie autrichienne qui investit le terrain...
But not enough to scare the beautiful Austrian cavalry that invests the terrain... |
Et après la cavalerie, l'infanterie à marche forcée...
And after the cavalry, forced march with the infantry ...
|
La Stoss Taktik autrichienne est prête, la baïonnette doit tout emporter sur son passage.
The Austrian Stoss Taktik is ready, the bayonet must carry everything in its path. |
|
Supportée par une artillerie efficace (contrairement à la nôtre!), l'armée autrichienne s'empare rapidement des points de victoire géographiques.
Supported by effective artillery (Unlike ours!), the Austrian army quickly
captured geographical victory points. |
|
Objectif final : un point par village, plus les pertes faites à l'ennemi...et pour le moment ce sont les Autrichiens (en blanc) qui ont l'initiative...
Final goal: one point per village, plus losses made on the enemy ...
and for the moment Austrians (in white) have the advantage ...
|
|
Nos casques à pointe sont alors sommés de reprendre le terrain perdu....
Our spiked helmets are then ordered to attack the central village .... |
|
Infanterie légère en pointe, à nous de reprendre le village central!
Light infantry ahead, let's retake the central village! |
|
Aile gauche : la cavalerie autrichienne est en difficulté, il faut en profiter : sabres au clair!
Left wing: the Austrian cavalry is in difficulty, we must take advantage: charge! |
|
Dételés plus près de l'ennemi, nos canons nous sont enfin utiles!
Unlimbered closer to the enemy, our guns we are finally useful! |
|
Intenses combats pour le village central au tour 10, les Autrichiens semblent harassés. Intense fighting for the central village on the 10th turn, the Austrians seem harassed. |
|
Réaction violente de Serge, il engage ses expérimentés Saxons et nous bouscule,
la partie est alors très indécise...
Serge violent reaction, he engages his experienced Saxons and shakes us,
the issue is then very uncertain ...
|
|
Chargés par la cavalerie autrichienne, ce sont les fantassins en manteau qui, après une salve dévastatrice de leur Dreyse, se maintiendront sur le champ de bataille.
Charged by the Austrian cavalry, the infantry in coat will finaly remain on the battlefield after a devastating Dreyse salvo. |
|
C'est finalement dans les derniers instants que les Prussiens remportent la victoire, le village central, maintes fois pris et repris, restera aux mains du Kaiser...
It is ultimately in the final moments that the Prussians were victorious, the central village, taken and retaken, will remain in the hands of Kaiser ... |
|
Alors, brandissant son sabre pour galvaniser ses troupes, le général prussien
ordonne de poursuivre et de prendre l'autre village, il faut une victoire nette en ce jour! Then, brandishing his sword to galvanize his troops, the Prussian general
order to continue and to take the other village, we need a clear victory today! |
|
Mais la victoire ne sera que marginale, les Autrichiens se replient en ordre grâce
au courage de l'infanterie légère saxonne qui protège la retraite.
But victory will be only marginal, the Austrians withdraw in order because
of the courage of the Saxon light infantry that protects retreat.
|
|
Ruines et fumées pour cette fin de bataille, les Autrichiens couvrent la retraite...et se dirigent vers Sadowa...Mais c'est une autre histoire... Ruins and smoke in the end of the battle, the Austrians cover retreat... and they move towards Sadowa... But this is another story ... |
Merci à tous, thanks everyone...
Phil.
