Dennewitz
September-6 1813

Player two you are general von Bulow and two corps of the prussian army plus some russian elements 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
ney has been put in command of the Army of Berlin. On September 3 Ney has set out from Wittenberg with the corps of
Bertrand, Reynier and Oudinot. Facing him 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 the frenchs were able to continue
their advance. Today Tauentzien has deployed near Dennewitz and Juterbogk to block again the french move. Your 3rd corps
is moving up in support. The three French corps had advanced in individual columns and the intervals between them had
become dangerously wide. Undaunted Ney seems to have ordered his leading corps (Bertrand's 4th corps) into the attack.
You must hold the line at all cost to prevent the french to reach Berlin. In case of defeat, the fall of Berlin could
have a decisiv impact on the whole campaign.
