Hi Narwal, I've read and loved ur AAR (in which it seems ur opponent gave up).
It's a pbem already. It s my second one and first one went well for me as prussians while I did not even approach Prag before 57 when I took it briefly. In the end my opponent gave up... when Russians died from attrition due to no supply trough Poland. I do not blame him. I find myself in a rather similar situation.
So the terrific prussian start in my current pbem is quite... terrific lol
The frustration is that, for me, it comes from the flaws of the capitulation event.
I'm pretty sure the Austrian army cannot stop the prussian at turn 4-5 when the prag battle happened (no Van daun and no reinforcement yet). All Autrian amy was there about 78k men and 85k prussians for the result of 21.5 killed vs 11.5 prussians down. Bad but not a catastrophe.
However it means Prag is automatically lost. This seems plain wrong to me. It's due to the prussian ability to ignore the saxon army because of the capitulation event. It's the reason I posted here: I broke the siege of Pirma due to the thin colunm my oppennent kept there... and this same turn the saxon army vanish.. lol How can you even find this about right
Then from my experience (I admit limited) 57 is favorable to the prussian still and even more where they choose to focus on a particular front. I expect to loose Konitzgrad and then probably Brunn in 57 when I would normally expect to loose Prag and maybe Konitzgratz. I do not think I can come back from this and there was nothing I could do about it.
Again, I would find it OK if I had still the saxon army my opponent choose to ignore. Maybe hiberning in Leizpig
EDIT: ive jsut realized you are the original poster of this Thread... which an example talking exactly of what happened in my game lol. So you def find this situation not right...
What happend in this pbem against Baris?
