For King or Empress
“Rogues! Do you want to live forever?”
With that encouragement from their steely-eyed sovereign, the Prussian infantry tightened ranks and marched towards the white-clad Austrians waiting for them on the hill. The drums beat, echoing in the hearts of thousands of musketeers, who wondered if these last few breaths would be their final ones. Meanwhile, the generals looked on, frowning at the dispositions of their battle lines and their opponent’s. Were there enough troops there to meet the enemy’s thrust, or should reserves be shifted?
