The Battle of Koniggratz, 1866

Blood & Iron: The Battle of Koniggratz, 1866, was the decisive battle of the Austro-Prussian War, in which the Kingdom of Prussia defeated the Austrian Empire. Taking place near Königgrätz and Sadowa in Bohemia on 3 July 1866, it was an example of battlefield concentration, a convergence of multiple units at the same location to trap and/or destroy an enemy force between them.

There are some extensive rules for cavalry charges, artillery, morale loss, and weather effects. The game also includes a number of 'what if?' scenarios which include alternate orders of battle as well as the historical one.

Game length and victory conditions are determined by the scenario being played. Victory usually relies on capture of geographical objectives and/or elimination of opponent's forces.
