* Wargame: Corbach 1760. During the offensive in Germany, Broglie was with the main French forces in Frankenberg in Hesse, 30 km south of Corbach. He ordered Saint Germain to join him with the Army of the Rhine. Ferdinand, duke of Brunswick, stationed 10 km east of Corbach, sent the Erbprinz of Brunswick to prevent the junction of the two French armies. The Prinz, having made contact with Kielmansegg Corps, decided to attack what he though was only the vanguard of St. Germain. However Broglie himself with six brigades arrived on the battlefield while some German reinforcement force-marched to join the fight.

Corbach 1760 uses the same system as Hastenbeck 1757 (published in Vae Victis 126) with a slightly different scale: One combat point = 150 to 250 men; One hex = 200-250m, and One turn = 30 min.
