As Duke Charles of Soubise counter-attacked through Hesse, his French vanguard under Duke Victor-Francois of Broglie was met at Sandershausen, on the Fulda northeast of Kassel, by Hessians and Hanoverians under Prince Johann Casimir of Isenburg. Broglie overwhelmed the outnumbered Allies and in October Soubise won a decisive victory at nearby Lutterberg.
