THE FINEST DEATH: The Fight at Sterbohol, May 6, 1757

Description: The opening moments of the Battle of Prague. It was during this part of the battle that both Generals Winterfeldt and Schwerin were killed. Schwerin had half his head blown off by a blast of canister while trying to rally his shaken troops. His death was described as "the finest death in combat that has ever been related in the annals of Prussian military history." The Austrian Field Marshal Browne was also killed during the counterattack at Sterbohol, making "The Finest Death" a fitting title for this little scenario. 

Scenario Notes: You'll notice that some of the battalions under Winterfeldt's command are given a "Trained" experience level. The Battle of Prague was the first time the Prussian infantry ever performed in less than exemplary fashion.  

Tips for Getting Started: Speed is the key. You don't have much time and you can't assume you're going to make every one of your activation rolls. So make every activation count. It's especially important to get Schwerin's troops into action as quickly as possible.
