16 October 1813 - Historical - Intended to be played as Allies (Human) vs. French (AI) - This is the second Getting Started scenario and is intended to show the players some tactics and how the command control system works. Refer to Part 2 of the Getting Started PDF file for instructions. This action depicts the intense fighting for Möckern village which occured on the first day of the Battle of Leipzig. Möckern is located to the northwest of Leipzig and was along the route that Yorck's 1st Prussian Corps took to reach the French army. A desparate fight for the village lasted for several hours involving Yorck's Prussians and Marmont's VI Corps. In particular the Marine battalions distinguished themselves very well and held against all odds until finally succumbing to the weight and ferocity of the Prussian attack.
