Second battle of Colbitz - Rearrange Table

Area covered by wargames table at the start of the battle/wargame

When I selected the wargames table I expected the main fighting to take place in the centre of the two armies, as shown in the map above. I expected that the centre of the fighting would be square 1504. This would allow space on the table for all corps to arrive and deploy.

However due to the two Prussian Poor commanders failing to move at all during move one, the French were allowed to make multiple moves. By the end of move two it was clear that the Prussians would be pinned in and around Colbitz. This would make it impossible for 1^st Prussian corps to arrive on the table.

So I have decided to extend the table north and east as shown in the above map. The centre of the battle is now 1606, Colbitz itself
