Scenario Briefing: The 2nd Battle of Nordlingen - Demonstrating his characteristic impetuosity, the rash French general Conde launched a direct frontal assault on the strong Bavarian defensive position, resulting in heavy French losses. However, the death of the highly capable Bavarian general Mercy at a key moment in the battle, left the Bavarian army effectively leaderless. So, when Conde sent forward the fresh Hessian army, the exhausted Bavarians panicked and fled the battlefield.

Recommended Rules: Default

Note: This scenario is best played as the French (Anti-Imperialist) player against a Bavarian (Imperialist) A/I.
