      Mark Cordone,

      Gary Sheffield and I hope to fight the two linked battles in about a week or so. You can be sure that the battle reports will appear on my blog as soon afterwards as possible.

      All the best,

      Bob

      Maudlin Jack Tar,

      An overall French victory would put the Prussians in a poor position, as the French could easily seize Hanover soon afterwards.

      An overall Prussian victory would pretty well put an end to the possibility of a short war, and may even see the French sue for peace.

      A draw would see the war continue, and a possible French invasion via the southern route.

      The possibilities are endless .. which is one of the joys of fighting a campaign!

      All the best,

      Bob
