We had a blast with this little battle last night. Lots of fun, and lots of replay value. Full AAR on my blog, and from there you can find some photos and the full scenario on Flickr:

It's such a characterful and interesting action, even if you've got no intention of gaming it, it's worth a read. Chris

A tie. Your Croats did better than mine. Sounds like a cracking good game. |

Sounds like a great game. I am with you, I love commanding armies of rubbish. |

The Croat army included some Austrian cavalry who I like to think of as the "Sandwich Filling Brigade": the Hardegg and Kress regiments … Chris |

Thanks, Konstantinos. This and the previous week's Spotsylvania game really were HQGE – the High Quality Gaming Experience (qv).

Nice video, Shipka, BUT I believe it gets the Hungarian deployment fundamentally wrong. IIRC it puts Repasy's left wing on the wrong side of the lake entirely, an error that can be traced back to Horvath's account which many sources repeat, as debunked by Robert Hermann in his 2014 article in Hadtortenelmi Kozlemenyek.
