An interesting battle report from the Thirty Years War

This report was written in an interesting style.  Note that a brief but useful introduction gives the historical background.  A diagram shows the plan for the battlefield.  A single photo shows the actual battlefield used.  The report of the battle provides a nice summary of the action and the results of the rounds without too much detail.  The battle lasted less than ten rounds, which is just fine with me.  Keep in mind that when you develop a battle like this, you are most likely going to play it through several times, with variations.  

Anyway, I liked the style of this battle from the 30 Years War.
