Is momentum irreversibly with the Austrians, or are there a few more twist, turns and swings of momentum to come?

I was hoping for...Hi Bob<br /><br />Thanks for your comments<br /><br />I was hoping for a Bavarian victory in this phase, because the Austrians have won all previous phases. For a long time it looked like I would get my wish, but suddenly the Austrians have regained the initiative.<br /><br />I am also looking forward to seeeing how it ends. Both armies have a lot of battle casualties, which makes their brigades very brittle when they have to test morale. So it really could go either way<br /><br />best regards<br /><br />Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-24193453883633888772019-11-10T22:37:25.349+01:002019-11-10T22:37:25.349+01:00Thistlebarrow,
