Austro-Prussian War, 1866 - Battle of Kissingen

The Austro-Prussian War - without any Austrians! The battle of Kissingen took place during the little known Campaign of the Main in west and south Germany. In short, most of the smaller German states - Hanover, Bavaria, Württemberg etc - lined up with the Austrians in this war.

In our refight, the Bavarians morale eventually cracked and they withdrew, leaving the battlefield to the Prussians. Very much like what happened in the real battle.
