Browne

[HHFD50]

Historically, Marshal von Browne died as a result of a wound sustained during the battle of Prague in 1757...If there is no battle of Prague during the same time in game, or if he is not engaged elsewhere either, why does he have to die and be removed? I do not play as the Prussians but I would image the same predetermined "rule" applies to Schwerin (or for any leader who perished on a specific day) as well who died in the same battle? Should not the game calculate leader deaths randomly due to battle or attrition rather than historically?

Browne gets removed as an austrian commander when he's replaced by Charles not because of his death (historical deaths of leaders in battles are not factored in for both sides - because of the dynamic system in place).

I also think that his removal is justified as it limits the austrian ability to create armies at least at the start of the war - and with their superior numbers it is not so easy to avoid command penalties. With him you could have 3 austrian army commanders - one for saxony one for silesia and one for the swedes (who rly need one as they face serious command penalties otherwise). Withouth him one has a dillema about what to do with Charles (as 9 out of 10 times you want Daun to face the main prussian force)

Agreed, but then maybe we can be given a game option on deciding who stays and who goes? I would much rather keep Browne in the field (as I am sure so would everyone else) and leave Charles in Vienna hopefully attending operas-which is basically what I do in my games (actually I keep him in reserve in Prague).

As a Prussian fan I would like to see the good ol' Charles in command...*grin*
