Battle Summary

The Empire made concentrated efforts on the Damned Left Flank
with both sides taking heavy losses but were unable to break through.

The Empire Center Artillery did serious damage to the Damned Troops
opposing them and forced Gilles de Rais & his Hvy Cav to move from
the Reserves to firm up the Battle line. Gilles went on the offensive
and Charged the 1st Bavarian Arquebus but supported by the Bohemnian
Milita they pushed his Brittany Hvy Cav back. After that the Center
became quiet.

The Empire attacks on the Damned Right Flank were at first successful
but the Damned Commander rallied the 1st Brittany Regiment that had
been broken in an Papal Regiment attack on Left Flank & forced to retreat.
The rallied Regiment was sent to firm up the Flank and in a final assault launched
by Hans Rupbert Gluck & the 1st Austrian Regiment the Brittany Regiment
broke the Austrian Charge forcing them back and opening up the Empires
Left Flank.

The Empire Army with it's Flank Turned retreated & left the Battle Field
to the Damned Army.
