As a Military Historian I rely on a summary of the historical fact, I analyze and highlight the decisive factors, before simulating hypotheses what if…
hypotheses through a board game. In the simulation, all possibilities of the purpose of the study are completed, when the past of history is analyzed based on the theory of the present and projected for similar situations in the future. Since 2010 I have published the following series of simulations: I. Historical Simulation of the Wars of the First Empires; II. Historical Simulation of the Wars in Classical Greece; III. Historical Simulation of the Roman Wars; IV. Historical Simulation of Wars in the Medieval Era; V. Historical Simulation of Wars in the Modern Era (1453 to 1774); VI. Historical Simulation of Wars in the Age of Revolutions (1775 to 1860); VII. Historical Simulation of Wars in the Industrial Age (1861 to 1913); VIII. Historical Simulation of the First World War; IX. Historical Simulation of World War II; X. Historical Simulation of the Cold War (1917 to 1991); and XI. Historical Simulation of Contemporary Wars (1991 to ...). Keywords: History. Art of War. Science of War. War

HISTORICAL FACT
French intervention in the Thirty Years' War
Im 1: Thirty Years’ War.
I suggest to the reader who wants to have more knowledge about the war of which this battle is a part, that they purchase my book A Historical Simulation of the Thirty Years' War, 1618 to 1648 , published in 2020. Bourbon France, although with its majority Catholic population, was a major rival to the Holy Roman Empire

and Habsburg Spain. Cardinal Richelieu, chief minister of King Louis XIII of France, considered them very powerful as they occupied several territories on the eastern and northern borders of France, including parts of the Low Countries.
Im 2: French phase.
France declared war on Spain in May 1635 and on the Holy Roman Empire in August 1636, opening offensives against the Habsburgs in Germany and the Low Countries. She aligned her strategy with the Swedes at Wismar (1636) and Hamburg (1638). Holy Emperor Ferdinand II died in 1637 and was succeeded by his son Ferdinand III, who was strongly inclined to end the war through negotiations.

French military efforts initially failed and the Spanish counterattacked, invading their territory, devastating the provinces of Champagne, Burgundy (the duchy) and Picardy, even threatening Paris in 1636. However, the tide began to turn when the Spanish army was repelled by Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar at the Battle of Breisach in late 1638, driving the Habsburg armies away from France's borders. At the same time, in December 1640, the Portuguese rose up against Spanish rule, with Richelieu providing aid to the insurgents. The subsequent French campaign against Spanish forces in Flanders culminated in a decisive French victory at the Battle of Rocroi on 19 May 1643.
Battle of Alerheim or Second of Nördlingen
August 3, 1645. It was around Alerheim, a small village east of the city of Nördlingen, which is why some sources refer to this battle as. The battle church is still standing, as is the abandoned Schloß (castle). Before the battle, Marshal Turenne united his Frankish German army with the all-French army led by Louis II of Bourbon, the Prince of Condé (then still known as the Duke d'Enghien). The joint army was placed under Condé's command.

Im 3: General plan of the battle.
Condé's preferred tactic was brutally simple. He intended to launch French troops in a frontal charge on the Imperial positions. However, it took the French army from noon until 4 pm to organize its battle line. Once the attack began, the Bavarian Imperial army counterattacked almost immediately, descending from the elevation of Alerheim Castle and crossing a ravine - which the failed prior French reconnaissance had taken for a more important obstacle -, breaking Condé's hesitant right wing and forcing him to cancel the attack on the Bavarian center. At the other end of the field, Turenne persisted until he

drove the Bavarian Imperials out of Wennenberg. Mercy was killed during the wild fight. At night, both armies were still on the battlefield. However, in the darkness and confusion, the Bavarian Imperials in the village, believing they were surrounded, capitulated. Later that night, the Bavarian Imperial army admitted defeat and withdrew.
