Aslong as you were immersed I did my job.
Not moving while Kincaid said 'advance'... now I know why we lost at the bridge
Lol, nothing shall disturb a great photoshoot.
That's the same thing I said some time ago, right before I got a cannonball onto my face.
 Next up - Leipzig (1813) 16th October 2024 Teams & Scenario details Updated! It's mid-1813 and the Emperor Napoleon has re-built in part his Grande Armee, after the disastrous results of the Russian campaign last year. With all of Europe arrayed against him, Napoleon intends to knock-out one of the main powers, evening the odds and potentially gaining a temporary peace. After three months of campaigning in German territory mixed with meagre victories and defeats, The French make a stand around the city of Leipzig. Napoleon has chosen his ground well with the areas surrounding Leipzig split into multiple sectors; many rivers with bridges connecting these sectors are close to the city, give the French superiority to manoeuvre. The allies do however outnumber the French by a huge margin and almost completely encircle their force around Leipzig. Will the allies work together effectively and defeat the once master of Europe or will history repeat itself with the 'Little Corporal' defeating the two Allied Emperor's again, as he did 8 years before at Austerlitz... |  |  Event Stages: Stage 1 | Defending the Manor House Classes - Lines, Cavalry Siege Flag-Spawning Round - reduce enemy tickets to 0 like usual but Siege rules apply, FiC & RiC permitted around buildings and defences. On the first day of battle, 16th October Polish and Austrian troops clash along the Pleiße river to the south of Leipzig; the defence of a manor house becomes critical for the Polish troops, controlling two bridges across the river...
[close] Stage 2 | Cavalry action at Liebertwolkwitz Classes - Cavalry Admin controlled Battle - Allies can form up anywhere around the perimeter of the large field, preferably dispersed. France form up at spawn in 3 ranks. Await Admin Direction. The allies unable to make a breakthrough and the Grande Armee holding its own on four fronts, Napoleon quickly moves to concentrate as much of his forces to the southern sector of the battlefield as possible, hoping to defeat the army under Schwarzenberg in detail so he can then turn to face the other threats. After a severe pounding to their centre from his grand battery on gallows hill, Napoleon orders 10,000 cavalry under Murat to make his breakthrough; a combined force of Russian, Austrian and Prussian cavalry must prevent their onslaught, else the fate of the battle will be in little doubt...
[close] Stage 3 | Bluchers Offensive Classes - Lines, Cavalry Normal Flag-Spawning Round - reduce enemy tickets to 0. Blucher and his Prussian/Russian corps meanwhile push from the north, attacking Ney's position on the river Pleiße in force...
[close] Stage 4 | Saxon defection Classes - Lines Admin Controlled Battle - Both teams form up in the street next to one another, in two columns. Await admin direction. Late on the second day of the battle the situation is looking most dire for the french; without a single effective breakthrough in the allied line, Napoleon has been forced on the defensive along his entire line of battle, which shrinks continuously around Leipzig. To make matters worse some of his troops are questioning their loyalties, specifically a Saxon division east of Leipzig at the Halle Gate...
[close] Stage 5 | Defence of Halle gate Classes - Lines Siege Flag-Spawning Round - reduce enemy tickets to 0 like usual but Siege rules apply, FiC & RiC permitted around buildings and defences. Left with no alternative, Napoleon begins to evacuate his army over the river to the west of Leipzig under cover of darkness. As day breaks on the third day of the battle the allies quickly move to envelop the retreating french troops. Taking the city will be no easy task however as Oudinot's corps remains to stall the allies, defending every gate, street and building in the city...

Next up - Vitoria (1813) 25th September 2024 Some space available tomorrow! Following Wellington's success at the Battle of Salamanca and Napoleon's disastrous campaign in Russia the previous year, the Allied army finds itself outnumbering the French army for the first time in Spain. Looking to draw further success from this rare advantage, Wellingtion advances once again into Spain at the head of 121,000 British, Portuguese and Spanish troops. The allied aim is to cut off Marshal Jourdan's army from their lines of communication and supply to France; Wellington moves his Army across Northern Spain, Jourdan having to mobilize quickly to face the new danger. He chooses to make his stand around Vitoria, hoping to halt the allied advance... | | Event Stages: Stage 1 | La Puebla heights Classes - Lines, Cavalry Normal Flag-Spawning Round - reduce enemy tickets to 0. Success at Vitoria for the British and their allies relies on four attack columns, all converging around Vitoria in sufficient time to support one another.

General Gazan responds by reinforcing the heights, as a bitter struggle for the high ground ensues...
[close] Stage 2 | Picton's Advance Classes - Lines, Lights, Artillery Admin controlled Battle - follow admin direction. The conflict on the Puebla heights still raging, Hill continues with his other divisions along the Burgos road toward Vitoria and the main French positions. He chooses his timing well, coordinating with the advance of another British column of attack under the command of the Duke himself; Wellington's troops cross the Zadorra river further north, threatening D'Erlons flank. Picton's division as part of Dalhousie's column arrives at their bridge crossing further to the east but is resisted by voltiguers and a battery of Artillery. The 95th, having already crossed downstream quickly respond to assist Picton's advance and attempt drive off the defenders...
[close] Stage 3 | Offensive on Ariñez Classes - Lines, Cavalry Normal Flag-Spawning Round - reduce enemy tickets to 0. Gazan and D'Erlon are both forced to gradually relinquish ground in the centre, as Wellington and Hill make progress. The situation threatens to take a disastrous turn for the French, as Picton's division from General Dalhousie's 3rd column crosses the Zadorra closer to Vitoria from the north. D'Erlon makes a stand at the knoll of Ariñez, buying time for the French line to re-position to the heights of Zuazo...
[close] Stage 4 | Last stand Classes - Lines, Cavalry Normal Flag-Spawning Round - reduce enemy tickets to 0. Jourdan's French army stand there ground, keeping good order despite having been attacked fiercly on all fronts; D'Erlon and Gazan manage to retire to the heights at Zuazo and Sarut's division hold the bridge to the north. With the French now on the back foot however, Wellington wastes no time in delivering the final blow, ordering his four now combined columns to attack the last French line of defense...
[close] Stage 5 | The Retreat Classes - Lines, Cavalry Admin Controlled Battle - Follow admin direction. As all elements of the Allied army converge on Vitoria, French troops begin to buckle under the pressure, prompting Marshal Jourdan to order a general retreat eastward. As the army of the centre retires however they leave Sarrut's division to the north badly exposed...
