[eia] which Brunswick have I captured? |
Does anyone know which Brunswick the general in the game is supposed to be? Charles William Ferdinand was killed fighting Davout at Auerstedt in 1806; his son Frederick William was also a general there, later led a freikorps for Austria, and was killed at Quatre Bras in 1815. My impression was that it was the elder Brunswick, and that his low tactical rating was due to the fact warfare had changed since the Seven Years War, but he hadn't---but now that I see that his son was also a general of some note, I'm not so sure. -- J. _______________________________________________ eia mailing list eia@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/eia
