Battle of Breitenfeld, 1631, in the Thirty Years' War

The Thirty Years' War from 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 hunger and disease. The Battle of Breitenfeld took place on September 7 or 17, 1631 (Julian or Gregorian calendar). While it is important in that it marked a major shift in initiative in the Thirty Years' War, it did not completely destroy the Imperial and/or Catholic League Army, nor did it hasten the end of the conflict. In the battle simulation, I will try to correct the flaws presented in the historical analysis, testing improvements in the maneuvers. And then we will prove which maneuver will prevail, both being instructed with the best and maximum effort.
