The Battle of Sahay

AUSTRIAN troops under Prinz von Lobkowitz were in May 1742 besieging Frauenberg, a Bohemian town captured by the French.
They were advanced upon by a considerably larger French force under Marshal Broglie (he was made Duc de Broglie after the battle).

General view of the battlefield

Lobkowitz had time to take up position with his right flank and rear protected by extensive forested hills.
His left rested on the village of Sahay, which he occupied with pandours. His left was further protected by a marsh and more forested upland.

Austrian troops for our refight (left to right): Prié-Turinetti Foot, Sachsen-Gotha Dragoons, Deutschmiester Foot with Prinz von Lobkowitz behind them, 12pdr gun, Guiterez Foot, Cordova Cuirassiers, pandours in Sahay, and Nagy-Károly Hussars

The hills and marsh are impassable to guns and mounted troops, but can be crossed by light infantry without penalty and by other forces on foot at half-speed.

Looking from behind the Austrian position to the French (left to right): Bercheny Hussars, Languedoc Dragoons, Grenadiers de France, Cuirassiers du Roi, Wittmer Foot with behind them Picardie Foot and Marshal Broglie, 8pdr gun, Touraine Foot, Champagne Foot, Poitou Foot and Dragoons du Roi

Broglie dismounted some cavalry to infiltrate through the marsh and attempt to attack Sahay from the flank, but the village was successfully cleared by his grenadiers.
A general French advance saw Austrian infantry driven into the woods. The Austrians rallied and counter-attacked along with their cavalry, but were again pushed back, and retreated when night fell.
