What would the effects be of an Austrian win at Sadowa in 1866? The Prussians had the Needle Rifle but their artillery was terrible well the Austrian artillery arm was one of the most advanced in the world. This same sort of balance occured in 1870 and the Prussians won despite having an obsolete rifle. If the Austrian guns had done more damage or maybe killed Moltke and the result of Sadowa is reversed then what happens?
The Italian's had already been battered and couldn't help the Prussians. Would Prussia's German allies have fought on in the face of major defeat?
