1600 to 1700
4 April 1813
Table at the start of Move 9
French Move First
Orders – Engage
Command Points – 4
Another low roll for command points
Poniatowski is too far from guns to order them to fire
He forms column with his cavalry to pass by town
He brings up his reserve infantry to support the skirmish
Infantry in the town exchange fire but again both miss
Prussian Move Second
Orders – Engage
Command Points – 7
Maximum command points for Bulow
He is too far from guns to order them to fire
He now moves within command range
Orders guns to manhandle forwards towards enemy
Moves landwehr brigade towards the town
Bulow now moves back to take command of the town fighting
Both sides exchange fire
French miss
Prussians inflict one hit.
French test morale and pass
Rule Note
Skirmish fire can be very ineffective, especially in a built up area
One D6 is rolled and firers require a total of 6 for a hit
In these rules even one hit is serious.
Each casualty is minus 1 for firing, melee and morale.
Rule 11 deals with skirmish fire
