have withdrawn since things are going wrong to the west. Now the French just need to seriously delay the Prussian I Corps which will be approaching from the NNW (ie the Chemin de Ohain and not east of the Ruisseau de Smohain).

Meanwhile, a French Division is about to attack Saxe-Weimar and his Brigade. Both sides have their cavalry lurking behind them.
By 1:20 a lot has happened. Saxe-Weimar attacks and is stunned and out for six turns. Heinemann, Rebeque and Perponcher take over the leaderless brigade while disorder and confusion fill the smoky hedges around the Chateau de Frischermont. The French rally and resume their own attacks.

By 7 am the Prussian Howitzers have done some serious damage. I've had Prussian Howitzers in probably about
20 games and they have never done much. Apparently, three batteries of them firing from a hilltop can even blow up
artillery caissons across a river at 700 meters. Things aren't looking good for the Austrian Light Division, but the French are arriving and marching past Kaisar Franz and the King of Saxony. Kleist and the Prussian Monarch are back with the artillery reserve about 500 meters behind the Howitzers, a hill and a forest or two.
