004. The Battle of Valmy: Meeting Engagement

20 September 1792 - Variant - Intended to be played Head to Head - The French are late to block the Allies. Only a small Advance Guard brigade of approximately 2000 men of Kellerman's Armee de Centre is available to delay the advance elements of the Prussian Advance Guard until more French reinforcements can arrive. Control of the main road and hilltop objectives is vital for the Prussians. Dumouriez's army arrives in the north. Should they march south or continue on the main road and then attack the Allied flank? The Allies are working against time in this battle.

Artillery fire soon struck the Prussian battalions. Before it could become a bloodbath Brunswick wisely called off the attack. This scenario allows the players to see what could have happened had the attack continued.

Valmy description from RBR_Battles.pdf

The Allies (Prussians, Austrians and Royalist French) had penetrated the Argonnes
Forest and were advancing on Paris. General Dumeriez was ordered to move his
Armée du Nord southeast to block the move but the Allies slipped through the net.
Dumeriez then rendezvoused with General Kellerman (the elder) who commanded the
Armee de Centre east of the Allies thus blocking their lines of communication. They
then marched west towards Valmy and halted on September 19 east of the village on
a series of ridges. The next day the French forces took up positions on the ridges to
the north and west of Valmy with part of the Armée du Nord in reserve. The battle
was really more of a bombardment by both sides. The French had surperior artillery
quality and some of the Prussian guns were put out of action. The Prussian followed
up with a weak advance but the losses from the French artillery halted the attack. The
Duke of Brunswick was very hesitant to commit his army to a battle. All of this led to
the Prussians halting their assault for the day and retreating to the north on the next
day followed by a retreat to the east. The campaign had been prone to terrible
weather. Historical note: The Battle of Valmy was the first victory by the French
Republican forces in a major battle. It helped consolidate their hold on France. The
Allies must attack and defeat the French in order to avoid not only a battlefield loss
but a large spike in French national morale.

Thanks ! Cool. I don't think I have such a document in my folder ...

The Allied formations will FIX during the battle reflecting the Duke of Brunswick's hesitancy to commit his army to a battle. We highly recommend that you play one of the many Variants for the Battle of Valmy for a more enjoyable experience.

The problem is that other variants of Valmy are HTH, which sends back to my initial question ... According to what I read here, they might not be envoyable in solo.
