2) What armies were confronted? - Prussians (Westmarcher) and Austrians (Myself)
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Yes, I regard this as the game where our rules knowledge "clicked" referring to the rulebook for just two obscure situations.
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - No
5) How many players were in the game? - Two
6) What went well? - Excellent scenario that brought both armies into contact quickly.
7) What could have been improved? - Both sides rolling "dithering" commanders for their Cuirassier brigades.


We fought over a town and control of a nearby bridge.
The Austrians won the foot race to seize the town, and were subsequently blasted out of it by well handled Prussian infantry and artillery.

The Prussians maintained a cohesive infantry force in the centre, while the Austrians failed to take advantage of a cavalry advantage on a wing.
The Austrians compounded this error by leaving their howitzer in the rear to lob mostly harmless shells.
The Prussian tactic of wheeling their guns into cannister range to win the firefight proved far more effective.

I mentioned above that we now know the rules.
At least one of us is still seeking effective strategies to use his army.
