Battle Of Lens, 1648, In The Thirty Years’ War [PDF ebook] 

The Thirty Years War of 1618 to 1648 is considered one of the most destructive wars in European history. It is estimated that between 4.5 and 8 million soldiers and civilians died as a direct result, while some areas of Germany suffered population declines of more than 50%, also from famine and disease. The war was part of the German religious struggle that was initiated by the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. In August 20, 1648, the Battle of Lens was the last major battle of the war, and it cemented Condé s reputation as one of the greatest generals of his time. Lens was again restored to the French. The Spanish Army of Flanders was destroyed and the United Provinces gained their independence from Spain. In the battle simulation I will try to correct the flaws presented in the historical analysis, testing improvements in maneuvers. And then we will see which maneuver will prevail, with both of us instructed with the best and with maximum effort.
