I had a chance to play this a few weeks ago as the Prussians

On first glance this one looks though for the Prussians with the 2 medals for holding the towns being vital for success. The main strength of the Prussian army is the iron will counters which where used to keep units in the towns and gain the vital battle back rolls.
The only advantage I could see for the Prussians in this one was the cavalry reserve in the center and I settled on a defensive plan but even this could come unstuck pretty fast due to being out numbered 5-2 by the French in guns
 |
| set up |
The initial set up above and the French batteries below which i was worried would blast the Prussian lines before any infantry attack and given the Prussians are a defensive army attacking would be difficult
 |
| French Guns |
The French infantry attacked the church on the Prussian left was beaten back with heavy loseses on both sides with an additional Prussian line battalion (1806 uniforms my Prussian army is in the 1806 uniform bar the reserve British painted blue and the landwher) ordered up to the bridge. Meanwhile the French light Infantry and Young Guard represented here by the marines of the guard prepare to assault La-Haye on the Prussian right.

The French attack at La-Haye while suffering heavy losses was getting close to breaking through and capturing the town and then pushing on and rolling up the Prussian militia. The Prussian heavy cavalry were sent forward to relieve the pressure.

| Prussian Dragoons charge the Swiss at La-Haye |
The cavalry succeeded in stabilizing the exploiting the situation on the Prussian left with a second charge pushing the French guns back and smashing into the Hussars
The Swiss came out of square and joined with fresh infantry made a push against Staint Amand in the center to relieve the pressure on their left this attack was again beaten off with high French casualties

| French attack on St Amand fails |
 |
| Prussian light Infantry move into the foreset |
The prussian light infantry move forward and stabilize the center mean while on the left the Prussian heavy cavalry take some losses and the militia move forward keeping La-Haye in Prussian hands
 |
| Prussian Dragoons suffer some loses |
The situation the Prussian left was quite after the initial assault on the church but the final medal was picked up by the Prussian line picking of the French light infantry
 |
| Prussian line skirmish with French light |
In the end this was a total 11-2 victory for the Prussians. I think this was due to heavy losses suffered attacking the towns and under use of the French guns
