10 Oct 1806 (Historical) The first main action of the 1806 campaign may have occured at Schleiz on the 9th but the real first true action of arms that was to be a definte example of things to come occured at Saalfeld. The wing of Lannes was debouching from the Thuringian forest when they came upon Louis Ferdinand and his Advance Guard near Saalfeld. The action commenced at about 10:30am when the piquettes of the 17th Legere emerged from the woods and skirmished with the Prussian left. Meanwhile, more troops were arriving and the brigades of Sibille and Simonnet supported by three light cavalry regiments soon engaged the Prussians. This scenario depicts the battle from the very beginning when the 17th Legere emerged from the woods. Intended for head to head play.

The game revolves around a battle for a single exit hex. The Prussians must seek to delay the French whilst exiting their own men. The French have to try and blast their way through quickly.

The French have to reach an exit hex. The Prussians have to stop them, whilst exiting their own units.

Very strange, lots of manouveur and very little fight.

The only chance for the French is to score points by leaving the scenario. If the Prussian castles there, there is not enough time to achieve anything.
