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.

French must throw everything into quickly
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.
