Imperials & Catholic League
Cards 1A – 6A
Morale: 2
A strong defensive position is squandered by the hapless rebel leadership, effectively ending the Bohemian Revolt. Incredibly, the war it ignited would continue on, engulfing most of Europe for three decades. A simple battle to get your feet wet.

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.
