Battle Of Lützen, 1632, In The Thirty Years' War

About this audiobook
The Thirty Years War from 1618 to 1648 is considered one of the most destructive wars in European history. It is estimated that between 4.5 and 8 million soldiers and civilians died as a direct result, while some areas of Germany suffered population declines of more than 50%, also from hunger and disease. The war was part of the German religious struggle that was started by the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. Lützen, November 6 or 16, 1632 (Julian or Gregorian calendar), in many ways, had greater repercussions than Breitenfeld. It was certainly a turning point in this phase of the Thirty Years War. Ostensibly the battle was a Swedish victory, as Wallenstein conceded the field, but if it was a victory it was certainly a "Pyrrhic" one. In the battle simulation, I will try to correct the flaws presented in the historical analysis, testing improvements in the maneuvers. And then we will prove which maneuver will prevail, both being instructed with the best and maximum effort.
