After two fleeting skirmishes (here and here) I feel like trying another linear battle, with all the march and evolution from columns to battle lines included.
I still don't have the full historical OOBs from the battle of Zinna painted up yet, but will try to use the historical unit values this time to reflect some of the differences between the involved armies.
The battleground is pretty open, with low hills, except for some steeper hills and trees on one edge. I will ignore the low hill edges for movement and only use them for line of sight and an uphill melee modifier. The steep hill edges stop move and are half move to cross, but on any movement card and without command penalty.
I will let the Prussians enter from the top right corner of the table in a single column. They will come in in three brigades:
1. Right wing with Wunsch, Plettenberg Dragoons and the 2 batallions Hessen-Kassel
then army HQ
2. Left wing with Salmuth, Hoffmann and the Dragoons
3. Reserve with the two grenadier batallions
The Reichsarmee will march in from the bottom left, with two parallel columns
1. at the very rear of the table: right wing with the Grenzers, Ansbach Dragoons, the converged grenadiers of Mainz &Co, Ferntheil and the 4th batallion of Mainz
2. followed by the reserve of the other converged grenadier batallion and Kurpfalz guards
3. in front of them, marching on the near end of the large hill, the left wing of the remaining 3 batallions Mainz and the Hohenzollern cuirassiers.
