Von Hazant was pleased to see the column of troops coming up the road from Topdan, at last General Waldebeck and the main body of the army had arrived. Von Hazant rode out to greet the General ...
After receiving a brief account of the days action, General Waldebeck called a staff meeting, spreading a map out on some barrels from the nearby Inn...
"The Begovians have taken the road by the river to Darkur, well gentlemen we will have to do our best to catch up with them. I think they are heading for Minsonda, it is halfway from here to Darkur - the bridge there was washed out last winter, but if the river is low enough they could wade across where the old ford was".
After a discussion they agreed on a course of action. Von Hazant's brigade with Count Boritzy's Uhlans and Hoflers Pandours would follow the route taken by the Begovians; while the rest of the army would go back down the road towards Topdan and turn east through the hills to Minsonda.

Excellent strategy. One force holds the enemy while the other hits him in the flank.
