    đźš© I am very pleased to share with you “Turenne: Campaign of 1674”, which outlines the brilliance of maneuver that even Napoleon admired. In the summer of 1674, France’s Marshal Henri de la Tour d’Auvergne, Viscount of Turenne, found himself facing one of the most perilous tests of his career. Europe was convulsed by the War of the Dutch, and the Holy Roman Empire had cast its weight behind France’s enemies. The Rhine frontier, long a region of uneasy peace, was now a corridor of fire and steel.

    Turenne, seasoned by decades of war, moved with the precision of a master strategist. The Rhine crossings became scenes of constant maneuvering before the coming decisive clash. As December set in, snow blanketed the valleys, masking troop movements and blurring the lines between friend and foe. Turenne’s scouts reported enemy columns shifting under cover of darkness, their intentions as cold and sharp as the winter air.

    Something was coming—something that would not only decide the fate of this campaign, but perhaps reshape the very balance of power in Europe. And as Turenne looked across the frozen fields, he knew the hour was almost upon him.

    đźš© In the late summer of 1632 the army of Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus met Albrecht von Wallenstein near NĂĽrnberg. The earlier successes of Gustavus Adolphus over General Tilly, particularly at Breitenfeld, followed by Tilly’s death during the Battle of Rain, forced Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II to recall Albrecht von Wallenstein into military service from retirement. Wallenstein was unmatched in his ability to raise troops, and within a few weeks he took to the field with a fresh army.

    In 1632, the Thirty Years War took another turn. In the wake of his brilliant victory at Breitenfeld, Gustavus Adolphus’s triumphal campaign in the Holy Roman Empire was halted at Ingolstadt, Bavaria, where the Imperial-Leaguist Generalleutnant Tilly died of wounds received in the battle Rain am Lech. The former commander of the Imperial army, Generalleutnant Wallenstein, who had lost command in 1630 due to political intrigue at the court of Vienna, was re-instated as Generalissimus.

    Wallenstein refused an initial battle on open ground against the Swedish King by entrenching his army at Nürnberg and then forced Gustavus Adolphus to retreat by cutting his supply lines. With winter near, Wallenstein deployed his regiments into garrisons throughout Saxony, like Nürnberg a Swedish ally. During this maneuvering, the Swedish King almost took Wallenstein’s rear guard by surprise at the town of Lützen.

    During this battle, two of the most famous and brilliant commanders of the Thirty Years War tried to end the war with one fierce battle. At the end, one lost his life and the other lost his will to fight on.
