1400 to 1500
4 April 1813
Table at the start of Move 7
French Move First
Orders – Engage
Command Points – 4
With so few command points Poniatowski is unable to move his cavalry behind Salzwedel to prevent the Prussians from entering.
He orders his artillery to fire again on the square, but this time they miss
He orders his leading brigade into the empty town section
He orders the remainder of his infantry to change into column of attack
Prussians Move Second
Orders – Engage
Command Points – 5
Bulow orders the brigade in the right hand section of Salzwedel to occupy the buildings
The brigade moving behind the town now enter the left hand section
The cavalry will form line to cover the exposed infantry as they do so
Bulow now moves to join his Shaken infantry square to add his support
He orders the square to retreat away from the enemy artillery
They test and pass their morale, becoming Disordered.
Rule Note
It was vital for Bulow to rally his Shaken infantry square
By moving within command range he adds plus 1 to their morale test
By moving them out of artillery range he adds another plus 1
They rolled 5, so they easily passed their morale test
They become Disordered, and are the end of the move will be fully formed.
Rule 17 covers Morale
