Battle of Srnojedy – Bohemia The Pursuit/Ambush:
After his victory at the Battle of Pardubitz LG Bevern took action that we seldom see in our 7YW Campaigns……he decided to take a select group of his force and pursue the defeated Austrians!
Bevern's possible reasoning for such a risk: Perhaps, "A great pursuit" would "heal" or at least resolve any "agitation" that Frederick might have towards him ….due to the loss of Schwerin, Manteuffel and von Winterfeldt! Bevern was also quite fortunate in that the Austrian column he was pursuing had suffered "shaken" morale in the Battle Pardubitz. And was not led by Daun. Their "only goal" was to escape and "recover"….not fight again so soon!

Thanks "randy51",
I told the Austrians that the Prussians were pursuing and could be coming from multiple directions….for some reason they thought that meant that the Prussians would be in front….so they put all their cavalry out front…and the Prussians attacked from side road. Also "all" the Austrians
should have marched together…not divided into wings…one marching west the other north. |
