Dresden - August-27 1813
Epilog
#normal
The French won a fairly comfortable victory and the Allied left was all but destroyed. The French effort to crush
the Allied right was checked but with the possibility of Vandamme intervening the Allies decided to retreat back
to Bohemia. The exhausted French let them go, waiting for Vandamme to 'finish the job'. He came close to cutting
off the Allied retreat but a combination of accidents and Allied initiative and gallantry ended up with him being
cut off from the rest of the French army, surrounded and all but destroyed in a 2 day battle around Kulm (29 - 30
August). Vandamme himself was taken prisoner. At a stroke the French success at Dresden was wiped out and Napoleon
was back to square one.
