In this scenario, the two opposing armies had to scout ahead with some light cavalry, aided by Chasseur a Pied or Jaegers in order to make the way for the main infantry bodies of the respective forces to engage the enemy.
The game swung this way and that with commanders being killed by enemy fire, artillery batteries running out of ammunition, battalions morale breaking only to leave gaps in the firing line.
In the end the Chassepot rifle enabled the French to gain a narrow victory, the Prussian Krupp artillery having been held back too far to have made their highly accurate fire make a significant impact on the game.
