POD:de Grammont stays in Dettigen, and forces the Pragmatic Army to attack him.
The Battle of Dettingen
Prelude
The Pragmatic Army of 35,000 men, under the Command of King George II, had recently had its supply lines cut by the French General de Noailles, who had 45,000. The Pragmatic Army decided a retreat to Hanau, where the could be resupplied, would be necessary. However, the French intended this, and set up a "Mousetrap" at Dettigen, where a river, combined with a ridge parallel to it formed the perfect place to fight a defensive battle.
June 27
The Pragmatic Army soon walked into the mousetrap, and the French had a second army ready to close them in. de Grammont the commander of the French Defensive force, considered an attack, but realized this would require disobeying his orders, something he wasn't prepared to do. The Pragmatic army was resolved to attack de Grammont in a desperate attempt to force the route to Hanau open. However, de Grammonts forces managed to hold long enough for Noailles to cross the River and close the Mousetrap. The Pragmatic Army now trapped, formed two lines facing in opposite directions, in a desperate attempt to repell the two French forces.
June 28
The Pragmatic Army attempted to break out by attacking de Gammots forces, with all its might. Although making a limited breakthrough, Noailles soon realized there was an attack on the other French forces, and he himself launched an attack on the Pragmatic rear. The Pragmatic Army fighting for thier lives, gave up on the attack on de Grammont, and turned against Noailles. At the end of the day, niether the Pragmatic Army nor the French had made a breakthrough. The Pragmatic Army though, was dangerously low on supplies.
June 29
The French failing to decisively destroy the Pragmatic army, resolved to starve them out, and terrorize. Some officers in the Pragmatic army formulate a plan that would allow George II and a few officers to escape, but George II refuses to consider leaving his army.
June 30
The Pragmatic Army runs out of food, and other critical supplies. The French soon bombards the Pragmatic Army with Cannonfire in an attempt to get thier surrender.
July 1
Early in the Morning, a white flag is raised at the camp of the Pragmatic Army. The French Camp is soon approached by a group of officers, and King George himself. Surrender is offered if the Pragmatic Army will be provided food, and fair treatment. Noailles, agrees, and the Battle of Dettingen is over.
Aftermath
The Battle is a overwhelming French Victory, with all but a handful of the Pragmatic Army, and King George II captured for a French loss of a few thousand. Noailles was hailed as a hero, and promoted to Dean of the Marshals. The War of Austrian Succession looks bleak for the Pragmatic forces.
