Scenario Briefing: The 2nd Battle of Nordlingen unfixed French Salvo variant - 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.
