Huzzah! Huzzah, I say! A glorious victory for Wittenberg Arms which leads to several questions. Will the army press the invader and drive them from Wittenberg recovering captured towns? Is it possible to capture Osram Pasha? What were the casualties like for Wittenberg? And lastly, what happened to the brigade that chose to drag its heels in joining the main army at the place of battle?
Superlative piece of work.
Well done Wittenberg...
