In early 1812, Pavel Alekseyevich Tuchkov had command of a brigade in 3 Infantry Division within his brother, Nikolay's III Infantry corps. Known in most sources as Tuchkov III, in the face of the French invasion, he commanded 1st Western Army's rearguard as it withdrew to Smolensk and was dispatched to hold the critical road junction at Valutina Gora (Lubino). He was captured late in the day whilst leading a counter attack by the Ekaterinoslav Grenadier Regiment, having received a bayonet wound to the abdomen and a number of sword cuts to the head.

Nicely done! Interesting bio as well – one tough character! |

Sounds like a good scenario. I'll have to look up Lubino. |

Many thanks – I think that it makes for a splendid scenario. I've one of Ney's divisions with supporting cavalry done, cracked 1st Cuirassier Division last year, and am working through Ney's second division along side the Russians, but it'll be a long slog |
