The Battle of Clausbrücken was a rearguard action fought during the War of the Vionnan Coalition by the 10th Division of the Vionna-Frankenlischian Imperial Army against the advancing Oxo-Ballaetan armies of the Vionnan Coalition. While the Coalition forces won and the 10th Division suffered 20% casualties, the battle was successful for the Vionna-Frankenlischians in that Militia regiments were able to form into an army to resist the Coalition offensive. In an engagement lasting three days from 27th to 30th May 1851, General Hugh La-Minnings maintained his position in the village of Clausbrücken preventing, at heavy cost, the armies of Richard II of Oxbridge and Ballaetan General Horatio MacTavish from crossing the river Clausach unopposed and entering Cunaris before the Army of Vionna could form for battle. Though La-Minnings was successful in delaying the Oxo-Ballaetan invasion, he was pushed back from the Clausach with heavy casualties and was almost prevented from escaping. The 10th Division joined Howard Richmond's Army of Vionna for the Battle of Glaenarm where it suffered further casualties and General La-Minnings was killed.
