Spring 1813 Campaign, Later Phase

The action of the Spring 1813 Campaign in a Day continues! 

Decisions at Dresden: as Mamont advances on the city, one Russian Corps marches off, whilst Tormasov and the Russian Guard Corps arrives!

The French continue to slowly expand their positions at Altenburg. Note the large black "God Die", used for resolving thorny rules dilemmas!

Milearsdovitch decides (or General Wittgenstein decides for him), that his Corps might be more usefully employed elsewhere. and prepares to march away from Altenburg. 

Tormasov moves out of the deployment zone, while Marmont changes face to meet him. 

Fancy maneuvering to get the French line established. 

Latour Maubourg, at Bautzen, writes to Napoleon. 

MacDonald/Prince Eugene deploys opposite von York's Prussians at Wittenburg... but von Yorck also has to contend with Lauriston's Corps to his rear, and Lauriston in term has to contend with von Berg's Russians on his flank. Sacre bleu!

Von Bulow fights on doggedly outside Leipzig, but his numbers are dwindling steadily. 

Another view of the situation at Dresden. 

Von Blucher seems to be pulling back instead going Vorwarts, evidently trying to trade distance for time at Altenburg. 

Barclay de Tolly's Corps, late Allied Reinforcements, arrives in the theater of war, here seen on the march on the Luckau table.

The uneven battle at Leipzig continues; although in an unenviable position, von Bulow's artillery has taken a substantial toll on the French. 

Von Yorck's position at Wittenburg from the Front...

and from his rather exposed rear!

The other wing of Lauriston's Corps, and the opposition by von Berg at Wittenburg... who seems to have mostly cavalry. 

von Bulow's men fight and die at Leipzig. 

The Russians still garrison and hold Dresden.

Wittgenstein oversees the march of Barclay de Tolly's Corps through Luckau. 

The Corps formerly commanded by General Betrand is now lead by Jean-Baptiste Drouet, Comte d'Erlon. Facing him as well as  Bessieres and Reille, von Bulow's Corps is near collapse at Leipzig. 

Mac Donald and Prince Eugene press the attack on von York at Wittenburg. 

Lauriston and von Berg face off at Wittenburg. 

Latour-Maubourg awaits orders at Bautzen. 

The Battle of Dresden shapes up. 

With von Bulow's Corps fading, a new Russian force makes an appearance outside Leipzig (uipper left), the footsore troops of Milleradsovitsch!

The French continue their slow but steady advance at Altenburg. 

Grinding combat between mac Donald and von Yorck at Wittenburg. 

The continuing Battle of Dresden between Marmont and Tormasov. 

One of many glorious charges by the Imperial Guard Cavalry and Marechal Bessieres at the Battle of Leipzig. 

Wittgenstein himself has taken command of a force to retake Bautzen!

Latour-Maubourg's cavalry make use of their superior speed to exit Bautzen table, doing the Shuffle off to Boef et Merlot!

Russians control and garrison Bautzen once again - this time supporting the position with artillery against the return of the pesky Latour-Maubourg and his Horse artillery!

Witttgenstein redirects the remainder of his force elsewhere. 

A cavalry charge to delay the accelerating advance of the masses of Frenchmen at Altenburg. General von Blucher is becoming seriously outnumbered, but keeps his cool. 

Altenburg from behind the Prussian lines. 

Attacked from 2 directions, von Yorcks Corps is gradually melting away at Wittenberg. 

View of Lauriston's part of the Battle of Wittenburg.

Milleradsovitch's Russian Corps deploys, and will attempt to retake Leipzig. 

They are too late arriving to succor von Bulow, however! The Remaining Prussians begin to think about how best to save a few of their skins!

The Saxon Heavy cavalry joins Marmont's battle at Dresden... 

whilst the ever mobile Latour-Maubourg's Cavalry Corps makes their arrival on the other side of the Elbe!

Remnants of von Bulow's Corps at Leipzig. 

The Battle of Dresden continues.

Von Blucher's Corps has pulled back to a new defensive position at Altenburg, supported by the remnants of Winzingerode's Russian Corps; the French are enjoying some breathing room at last. Marechal Mortier and the Imperial Guard infantry, Marechal Oudinot,  and the two commands of Marechal Ney, Generals Souham and Girard, make a verty imposing sight!

Lauriston's attack on von Yorck's rear is taking it's toll at Wittenburg. 

Nom de Dieu! Still more new arrivals (? Barclay de Tolly?) at the Battle of Dresden!

Von Bulow prepares to extricate what's left of his Corps at Leipzig, as Reille, having called up the Saxon infantry from Torgau, pepares for his own departure. 

The Battle of Wittenberg proceeds apace. 

The situation  remains fluid at Dresden.
