This one felt so historically correct at the end. The Schutzbund troops have pulled out of town to fight in wooded hills on board 23. They set up on the northern hill hexes with two mixed infantry/big stacks forward backed up by 2infantry on the North end of the 40meter hilltop. The Austrian Army set up in a line to the northwest, with their Arty and mortars on the small hill just south of the town. The Austrians swept up the hill to a position to direct fire two stacks to one, doing tremendous damage. The 1hex night range meant that terrain had little effect as all shots were adjacent shots by 13 to 18 factors. On turn 11 the Schutzbund commander fell in an assault. The surviving Schutzbund elements tried to trade space for time and moved south into the last hill hexes, but pressure from their pursuers turned it into a route as the last 3 steps and last leader stopped at the south edge of the board, off of the hill mass. Ironically, they managed to regain their morale on that last turn and caused one step loss to the Austrian Army troops, but they were too weak to push back onto the hill and lost, 11 steps lost to only 1 Austrian regular. Major Austrian Army victory. Great game.
