The previous image represents the first turn and is the Prussian's 1st Activation.
After two other commanders failed to activate GLt Gessler (a cav. commander) finally stepped up to the plate. His command was moved to the Prussian right to reinforce the elite cavalry that historically charged the Austrian elite cavalry, which can be seen in the screen shot on the far right). Prior to this first Prussian activation, cannons on both sides caused minor disruption and casualties to a couple of units.
The next image is the second Prussian activation.
Prince Ferdinand is activated and moved to the location indicated. I am setting up for an assualt on the Austrian center. The artillery that fell within the commander's radius was also activated, moved to the crest of the slope and left there to be unlimbered in Turn 2 (yes, it is exposed and could/will suffer damage from artillery fire).
Note: Prior to this activation the Austrian army activated two commands, moved them and then failed a further activation. The activated commands movement was almost negligible due the defensive posture selected by the designer for this scenario. I've found that when I have played this scenario in the past against the AI the outcome is most always historical. However, this defensive posture can be changed in the scenario editor making units and commanders more aggressive. Moreover, when playing Hotseat or PBEM the outcome is always different.
