Next up - Battle of Friedland 1807 1st May 2024 Teams & Scenario details Updated! Having fought eachother to a stalemate at Eylau, both the Allied and French armies spend the next few months attempting to out manouver one another, the campaign dragging on into early summer. On 13th June however Bennigsen's main russian force on its way north to regroup with their Prussian counterparts, encounters a single isolated French corps under Marshal Lannes. This could be the oppurtunity the Russians have been waiting for; a chance to knock-out 16,000 men from Napoleons Grand Armee, to even the odds when Bennigsen is forced to once again face the French Emperor in the field. Engaging the corps could prove extremely risky, the Russians having to cross a river which should they be engaged more heavily may prove their downfall... The 33rd Regiment of Foot is proud to Host our Historical Event, taking place once per month at 7:00UK lasting until 8:00UK. Events will present a different scenario each week, consisting of 4 Rounds across various custom maps and include predominantly Flag-Spawning rounds. Sign ups will be made on this forum however the final confirmation of attendance and distribution of the password will be handled on steam, therefore it is essential that you Add [33rd]Kincaid on Steam!

Having committed to engaging the French corps on the other side of the river Lava, the Russians construct pontoon bridges and make their crossing late in the day of the 13th June. Marshal Lannes outnumbered three to one, fights a delaying action from the towns of Friedland to Posthenen, using his light infantry to screen his movements and harass the advancing Russians...

As night falls on the 13th, Lannes has successfully avoided destruction and retreats to a safe distance. Unfortunately for Bennigsen's russians, two further French corps under Oudinot and Grouchy arrive during the night, ready to lend their weight to the battle soon to commence on 14th June. At dawn Russian troops attempt a push to the north, encountering Grouchy's corps on the outskirts of the village of Heirichsdorf...

The second part of the Russian offensive falls on French positions to the south on the opposite side of the battlefield, with Prince Bagration attacking Sortlack wood in force. General Oudinot though outnumbered, defends the wood but is slowly forced back. The arrival however of further reinforcment under Marshal Ney at Midday enables the French to execute a swift counter attack to re-take the position...

By mid-afternoon the situation for the Russians  turns sour as additional French corps arrive on the field, the Emperor himself amongst them. In the matter of just a few hours the Russian army find itself outnumbered on all fronts, with the river Lava to their backs. Acknowleging the immediate danger, Bennigsen orders a retreat back through Friedland and across the pontoon bridges, slowly pulling back his line of defence. Napoleon wastes no time in ordering an all-out offensive on every inch of the Russian position. With lightning speed the resolve of the Russian troops begins to waver as the well-ordered retreat begins to turn into a rout. With Friedland set ablaze by canon fire, the Russian imperial guard maintain a rear-guard, delaying the French onslaught and attempting to ensure their armies survival...

Next up - Retreat to Coruna (1808) 29th May 2024 Teams & Scenario details Updated! Sir John Moore assumed command of the British Army in October 1808 and led it across Portugal and Spain, to link up with his Spanish allies to commence a campaign against his better wishes. At much the same time Napoleon arrived in the Peninsula at the head of 125,000 battle hardened veterans. Having restored his brother back on the Spanish throne, Napoleon turns his attention to remove Moore’s army. With his lines of communication compromised, Moore is forced to retreat in the dead of winter over the inhospitable Galician mountains, his army fighting tenacious rear-guard actions to facilitate their escape to Coruna where they finally turn to face the French...

Event Stages: Stage 1 | Cavalry Skirmish at Benavente Classes - Cavalry Normal Battle, Admin Controlled to start. Early on in the Campaign it becomes apparent that retreat for the British Army is inevitable, with the huge amount of forces arrayed against them. Before resigning himself to the retreat however, Moore attempts a premptive strike against Soult's isolated corps to the north - reconaissance troops of these forces clashing at Sahagún. Despite a British victory Moore discovers Napoleon closing in so retreats towards the mountains via Benavente. A sizeable French cavalry division of 3 squadrons crosses the river Elsa and threatens Lord Paget's rear-guard...
