GERMAN MAJOR VICTORY!!!

Aftermath

This battle was a bit of a disappointment after the first two of this series. The victory conditions seemed unbalanced with both the Germans and French having the same victory conditions, despite the Germans vastly outgunning, outnumbering and even out-morale-ing the French.

It finally came to a point where it seemed pointless playing out the last 4 turns, which would likely have seen the remaining entrenchment fall and the French cavalry driven back into the southeast woods.
