AAR PBEM: Leipzig Campaign

[milrevko]

Turn 43:

Let me give the big picture and known and unknown first:

Here is the Austrian Full Court Press:
II Corps is in a holding position on the river, the Austrian heavy Cuirassiers Corps has stopped the French I Cav Corps and has open a breach in the French lines, allowing the fresh and uncommitted and for the most part hidden until now because of the lay of the land 15,000 strong Austrian 2nd Division of the Reserve corps to advance to the breach. The Austrian troops around the Auenhan Farm have also beat back repeated charges and isolated and kill or routed the French 1st Young Guard Corps supported by the remnants of the French II Corps, those 1st young Guard troops now battered hold the line in Front of the Austrian III Corps. The fatigue level of both the French and the Austrians are sky high:


The previously uncommitted Russian high quality light Corps and Guard Corps spring into action simultaneously assaulting and advancing upon the Galeberg Hill's and clearing the Neiderholtz Forest. It was a good thing my troops in the forest had a base line "B" moral or it would have gone much differently. All this is in support of the Austrian counter stroke:

A zoom out of the southern front:


To give scope to the intensity of the fighting compare the losses at this turn to ten turns ago.
1) Always leave retreat paths, if you do not have retreat path do not advance in to the hex.
2) Always leave room for rout's, there is so little control in where they run to and disrupt every thing they move through...maybe that's why it is called a rout!
3) Never make an unsupported CAV charge
4) Every single second of every turn think about your flanks
5) Bring you horse arty up when you make a CAV charge, do not be Ney at Waterloo, Be Murat
6) Never attack to just kill something, attacks are to be made as part of planned objective
7) Never ever interrupt the enemy when they are making a mistake...

The losses you see represent the above:


Feel free to comment and tell me what I am missing, other then my poor spelling...
