Okay, I've just completed this battle as the Austrians.
Losing objective points one by one by an aggressive AI who with a massed cavalry attack crossed the southern bridge and attacked North targetting the Army camp and the town of Hoyerswerda, I decided to make a final stand at my Army Camp south of the aforementioned town with my remaining infantry.
Now when I say "remaining" infantry - during the entire 20 turn battle, I only lost 253 soldiers. My guns were destroyed by turn 7 and my own Cavalry ceased to be an effective force by turn 11.
So from turn 12 I sat with my infantry in my own Army Camp which happened to have the most objective points (200) and waited for the aggressive AI that had previously whipped my butt in the previous 11 turns to envelope my infantry with its mass Cavalry, Infantry and 12 guns.
But...nothing.
Most of the Cavalry were more interested in running what was left of my troopers off the field while the others eyed up my last stand with some trepidation from the town.
The Infantry just walked to and fro or up and down the river without crossing any bridges to get to my side and the Artillery which proved to be SO effective previously just sat in town (on their side of the river) or stayed way back at their original starting positions.
Turn 20 comes along and I get a decisive Victory for my Austrians. 200 Obj Pts and I lost 253 soldiers, 605 troopers and all 4 of my guns.
Prussia lost NO infantry, NO guns and 196 troopers and IICR 140 Obj Pts.
So not a satisfactory state of affairs as the AI goes (even for me) - for this scenario anyhow.
There's a lot more to try though! [:D]
