Scenario Briefing: The Battle of Thionville - The French siege of Thionville was broken when a Spanish-Imperialist relief army under Piccolomini arrived. The French were outnumbered and unprepared for battle, but might have had time to retreat as the enemy were initially focused on reinforcing the garrison. Instead, the French decided to risk battle and were overwhelmed after the Spanish broke through on their left flank.

Recommended Rules: Default

Note: Best played as the Spanish (Imperialist) side against the French (Anti-Imperialist) A/I, or else Head-to-Head.
