I wanted to take a test dive in the Piquet rules as I have not played them yet. I have read the rules several times but I would like to get a game under my belt. I have arranged a small skirmish involving six units on each side. There will be four infantry and two cavalry battalions. I won't really count this towards the campaign but this little action will set the stage of the start of the war.
In early March 2449 General Amadeus Faust of Arnsburg was ordered to make a strong showing across the border of Munzirnbach. He was given a force that included 5th, 7th, and 9th Arnsburg Regiment of Foot. The 2nd Grenadiers were supplied as heavy hitters. His cavalry force included two Battalions of Curassiers, the 1st and 5th. He had a total force of 3,200 men. On the road toward Frareidorf Faust was met by a similar sized Munzirnbach force. It was lead by General Gustav Borchart, who was ordered to counter any move made by Arnsburg. Borchart's force included the 1st, 4th, and 5th Foot of the line, the 1st Munzirnbach Grenadiers, and the 1st Dragoon and 3rd Curassiers. This was a sizable force considering the total size of Munzirnbach's army. Borchart knew the key to victory was to strike fast and hard as well as try to minimize casualties. The forces lined up opposite of each other. Each commander trying to determine what course of action to take. The forces made camp across from each other on March 4th 2449. The next day would see the first action of the War of Arnsburg Agression.
