Dennewitz
September-6 1813
#normal
Player one you are Marshal Ney and three corps of the french army are under your command.
The first French move against Berlin had been defeated at Gross Beeren on 23 August. Napoleon resolved to try again and
planned to lead the attack himself. However, Vandamme's catastrophe at Kulm forced him to remain at Dresden and instead
you have been put in command of the Army of Berlin. On September 3 you have set out from Wittenberg with the corps of
Bertrand, Reynier and Oudinot. Facing you were the Prussian 3rd and 4th corps, with the remainder of the Allied Army of
the North (under Bernadotte) in support.
There has been a brief skirmish with Tauentzien (4th corps) at Zahna on the 5th but you was able to continue his advance.
Today your advance is blocked once more by Tauentzien deployed near Dennewitz and Juterbogk, with Bulow's 3rd corps
moving up in support. The three French corps had advanced in individual columns and the intervals between them had become
dangerously wide. Undaunted you have ordered your leading corps (Bertrand's 4th corps) into the attack.
You must clear the road to Berlin. In case of success, the fall of Berlin could have a decisiv impact on the whole
campaign.
