One of the nobles who instigated the Bohemian Revolt (and thus the Thirty Years War) by chucking a couple of civil servants out a window. They survived, and Thurn went on to be one of the worst generals in the rebellion. His incompetence helped seal their fate at White Mountain.

Rupert's Lifeguard

While this card is in play, Tillier's Left and Tillier's Right suffer one less hit when Attacked.

When either the Northern Horse or Byron are about to Rout, add the Lifeguard's Unit to that Formation. That is, that Formation does NOT Rout at this time, but only has one Unit block.

Remove this card from play if and when that happens. This does not constitute a Rout.

Defensive Works: While this Formation remains in play, the Shropshire Lane and Sopwell Lane Formations do not suffer more than one hit when Attacked.

Note that this ability is negated whenever the Yorkist Archers Special Formation has a cube on its card.

When this Formation is Routed, the Defensive Works ability is permanently lost.

I know, I know - you want some historical commentary. Warwick snuck around the formidable enemy front-line defenses to capture the King in their rear. Warwick squeezed from his end, Salisbury and York from theirs, with the other guys stuck in the middle, thus negating the enemy's positional advantage.

If there are dice on this card, you MAY, but are not required to, remove all dice on this card when taking an Action or a Reaction with another Formation. If you do so, the dice thus removed count as ONE "wild" die, matching the type needed to take the Action or Reaction.

For example, if an Action does one hit per die and you have two dice on that card and two dice on this card, you can remove these dice along with the dice on the other card to inflict three hits. If a Reaction requires a Pair and you only have one die on the card in question, you MAY (but again are not required to) remove the dice from this card to use them as one die to complete the Pair.

Often these battles began with skirmishing forces up-front fighting with each other before the heavier infantry was engaged. Usually these preliminaries aren't a great fit for the scale and emphasis of this system.

If you feel like their absence in the other scenarios is a deal-breaker, use this optional rule: roll a die. If it's a 1-3, your skirmishers beat the other side's, and if it's 4-6, theirs beat yours. This does not constitute routing and no morale cubes change hands.

If after rolling you cannot or do not place any dice on a Pink Formation, remove the cube from this card, adding it to your Morale Cubes. This card is then removed from play and all remaining Pink Formations Rout immediately.

During the confusion of the battle, someone yelled out a false order, and the Carolina regiments wheeled to the right, exposing their flank to Union artillery. "Hundreds of the bravest and best men of Carolina fell, victims of this fatal blunder," Kershaw wrote later.

When any Dark Blue Formation (including Reserves taking an Absorb Reaction) is to suffer only one hit in an attack, this Formation suffers the hit instead.

If the Formation would suffer more than one hit, this Formation suffers all hits but one, which the targeted/absorbing Formation suffers.

When this Formation Routs, it does not cause the loss of a morale cube.

Finally, while I've got your attention: as long as Greene's Right is in play, you can place dice on TWO Dark Blue cards each turn. Why is this note on this card, and not on Greene's Right? Because I didn't have room on that card. And folks wonder why the cards don't have art on them...

Colonel Charles Essex was of no relation to, and should not be confused with, the Earl of Essex, who led the Parliamentarian army. The colonel was kind enough not to survive this battle, thus preventing any such potential confusion going forward.

When Catinat makes an attack, you may - but are not required to - add all dice from this card to the attack. This is the only way dice can be removed from this card. If you do so, the attack cannot be Countered, and Catinat suffers no self hits. After resolving this special attack, remove this card from play (this does not constitute a Rout).

Catinat's mass bayonet charge at Marsaglia is often regarded as the first of its kind, and was instrumental in securing a decisive victory that saw the Grand Alliance suffer five times as many casualties as the French.

Sticks on this card count toward Tactical Victory. That is, at the start of the game, you already have 8! Of course, Shifting will reduce that number.

George II blamed the defeat on Charles's inaction. If you had asked Charles, though, he'd have said that holding their position near the Jeker kept the line of retreat open, and is what saved the Pragmatic Army.

When it became clear the day was lost, only the "almost suicidal" attacks of the Austrian horse prevented envelopment and destruction, allowing the main part of the army to retreat behind the city walls.

If during your Roll Phase you do not place any dice, remove this card from play (this does not count as a Rout).

The 51-year-old Browne commanded the defense of the Austrian right, throwing off the Prussians with great success. While planning a general counterattack, his leg was hit by a cannonball. His removal left the Austrian line rudderless. Browne would die from his wounds 52 days later.

Brandes

1 hit. Ignores Link.

Grenzers were light troops originating in the Austrian borderlands, specializing in skirmish tactics. At Breslau, a number of these troops suddenly emerged from the woods on Brandes's right flank, intent on attacking his rear. In this they were bitterly opposed by the flank guard under Rohr.

While dice are on this card, Charles cannot Command and Austrians cannot Shift.

This small vanguard convinced Charles his right flank was in danger, and so he shifted troops from his left, little realizing this left Nadasdy to stand alone against the entire enemy army.

Once during the game, you may remove all the dice from this card and add them to any attack, then remove this card from play.

At a pivotal moment, the entire Prussian army sang the hymn Nun danket alle Gott, rallying morale. It probably didn't actually happen, but I was short a card for the scenario, and so here we are.

When the Feint card Routs or Retires, remove this card from play. Any remaining sticks on this card count toward your Tactical Victory.

The garrison at Borne was the object of the Prussian feint. As this garrison was pushed out, the Prussians continued their advance, convincing Charles that this was to be the main thrust of Frederick's attack.
