Graham was CiC of the Prussians with David and Rob as his brigadiers, while Helge took the helm for the French with myself and Korrigan as his brigadiers. We had planned a 2 day event and when the players arrived Saturday morning the pregame had been played and the table was set up. Historically after the Russian defeat at Weisenfels, Wittgenstein, the overall allied commander, ordered Blucher's Prussians to split the advancing French force in half at Gross Gorschen. The Prussians advancing from the south east and centred their attack on the 4 villages around Gross Gorschen. Holding the area was Marshall Ney's 3rd corps with 5 Infantry Divisions and a Cavalry Brigade. Blucher was in overall command, but our game will be focused on the lead Prussian Division under General Zeithen with his 5 Infantry Brigades and 2 Cavalry Brigades. The French will be under the direct command of General Souham, whose division with 5 Infantry Brigades and 1 Cavalry Brigade who had direct responsibly for the defence of the area…" link

The Campaigns of 1813 & 1814 are my preferred Napoleonic periods, too. |
