7 Years War 15mm

Prussians: Mike, Steve & Mitch.
Austrians: Mark, Chris & Jim
Somewhere in Silesia detachments form the Austrain & Prussians armies are marching on collision courses towards the small village of Buggerhoff. 

The Prussians are on the right.
The Austrians continue marching down the road towards Buggerhoff.  The Prussians begin to deploy further back.
On the far flank the Austrian cavalry have charged hoping they get lucky & sweeping thru the Prussian cavalry before the infantry behind are deployed.  But the hot dice required for their plan to work didn't happen & the cavalry melee continues indecisively.
In the centre Grenz have occupied Buggerhoff & the infantry of both sides are deploying out of their road columns.
The cavalry fight on the far flank has ended with mutual assured destruction with the survivors in no fit state to do anything. 
Another cavalry fight is raging on the near flank. 
Prussian infantry are advancing slowly & firing on the village causing heavy casualties in the Grenz. 
The Prussians have formed a much neater line than the Austrians & the Austrians are suffering for it.  On the near flank the Prussian cavalry ahs got the upper hand.
A desperate double or nothing charge by the Austrian infantry on their left was not supported by the dice gods & their line is collapsing under Prussian musket fire.
The Austrians concede the battle & sound the retreat.
