Leipzig (first day)
October-16 1813
#normal
Player one you are Napoleon, Emperor of the frenchs, and the great army is under your command.
After Liebertwolkwitz it had become clear to both sides that the decisive battle (or battles)
of the campaign would be fought in the vicinity of Leipzig. All available forces moved towards
the city. By holding Leipzig you were still between the Allied armies and so had one last
opportunity to crush one of them before the others could intervene. Your situation was however
becoming extremely perilous. The gap between Schwarzenberg (Army of Bohemia) in the south and
Blucher (Army of Silesia) to the north had narrowed significantly. Bernadotte is slowly moving
to support Blucher. To the east Bennigsen with a new Russian army is approaching. To make matters
worse Bavaria had defected to the Allies on October 8, threatening your supply lines. At Leipzig
itself you have only a single line of communication back to the Rhine, this run west from the
city across a narrow causeway and through the village of Lindenau. If the Allies can take
Lindenau the entire Grande Armee will be trapped.
Your last chance is probably to attemp to concentrate against one of the Allied armies (whilst
defending against the others) and crush it, allowing tomorow the victorious units to mass against
the other enemy forces, defeating these in turn. It is important to win today, as the number of
ennemi will grow in the near futur. In addition, it is imperative that the Allies do not capture
Lindenau.
