Imagen being born on the first day of the 30 years war, and then being the last person to be killed when it ended. Knowing nothing, but a life time of war.

Turenne: "We need a plan of attack!"

a time period that needs more coverage on KZread indeed.

In fact, Turenne defeated Conde several times in a latter French civil war, and many consider him superior to Conde for that. Imagine the moment directly beating someone constantly ignoring your advices.

Basically, Mercy's style (turn a field battle into a siege) "hard-countered" Conde's style (frontal attack and rapidly exploitation).

Turenne was considered the DUDE by the DUDE of the DUDES

If you are interested why at the begining Freiberg in Saxony was of that much importance: It was essiential for Saxony´s economy because of its silver mines, probably some of the richest north of the Alps.

You highlighted really well the difference in military doctrine of Condé and Turenne.

Turenne: look, sieges are complicated and take time, we should focus on weakening the enemy’s position and gaining what advantages we-

I'm not even sure how many times I have facepalmed when hearing Conde's decisions.

No one:

Turenne is one of the finest commanders in French history, we will see more of him if you cover the wars of Louis XIV.

Great more Thirty Years war, hope u cover The Seven years war and 80 years war after finishing this series.

Ah Gallas, the destroyer of (his own) armies :P
