A rmed with a second cup of fresh, strong coffee, I messed around a bit this morning with artlist.io using its image to image function in an attempt to convert my hand-drawn map from September 2006 to something that more resembles an old map from the mid-18th century. And just like my experiments with Ninja AI in June, the results are mixed. The above map is pretty good, but Artlist keeps fouling up the place names and has trouble putting a faint overlay of hexes across the entire area. Hexes, admittedly, are not likely to be found on any genuine maps from the era in question, but there we are. Frankly, I prefer the appearance of the Ninja map, but there were problems getting it to correct its errors. Grrrr. As is the case with so much having to do with the various AI's out there now, the output generated is a direct result of the prompts entered. For text alone, and when you develop a lengthy, highly detailed prompt, it is...
Bad luck! Major von Hirschbiegel is thrown from his horse and cannot issue any orders for one turn.
Nevertheless, his 11th Hussars reach and occupy Pickelhaubewicz first, but they are set upon immediately by von Grundig's 4th Dragoons. 
Meanwhile, a company of Stollen's Von Laurenz Musketeers reach the field in fine order.
And on the Zichenauer side of the field? A company of O'Malley's Irish Grenzers and a squadron of The Die Grenadiere zu Pferd arrive, but they must wait for orders from Major von Hirschbiegel before doing anything constructive.

The dragoons are some of the 1/72 Revell Austrian dragoons. Much more plentiful than the Prussian hussars or Austrian artillery sets, and very useful for other country's cavalry too. Happy you are enjoying the game!

The arrival turn roll gave me two units on the second turn, but the event roll tossed the general from his horse, preventing them from gaining any advantage movement from their arrival.
To get better die rolls you need to "sacrifice a virgin" (meaning one that has never been rolled).
A friend used to take all of his dice and line them up on the edge of his bathtub . . . then (using lighter fluid) burn ones that had rolled badly in a game in the tub "to encourage the others".
Okay maybe that's a bit much . . . but the image has sure stuck with me.
