The Battle of Lutzen; (May 2, 1813)

Author: [HWK]Stu. An Allied army of Russians and Prussians has caught the rear-guard of Napoleons newly conscripted army, and army recently bolstered by raw recruits after losing tens of thousands in the Russian disaster. The allied army (green) is on the attack and the French (blue) have turned to face them.

The Battle of Bautzen; (May 23, 1813)

Author: [HWK]Stu. Recently up-dated for EW V3, this is an MC (multi-color) map that features more beautiful landscape by Stu and great strategic topography. The French army (purple and blue) is on the attack against the defending Prussians (black) and Russians (green). Though the French have 1,000 more troops on this map to reflect historical numerical superiority, the defenders have a higher ratio of cavalry, and formidable defenses. It will take generals akin to Napoleon and Ney to throw the Allies back from their defenses and defeat them. No up-grades or map rules, French attack.

The Battle of Grossbeeren; (August 23, 1813)

Author: [HWK]Marengo. In the Battles of Gro�beeren and neighboring Blankenfield and Sputendorf (23 August 1813) an allied Prussian-Swedish army under Crown Prince Charles John defeated the French under Marshal Oudinot. Napoleon had hoped to drive the Prussians out of the Sixth Coalition by capturing their capital, but the swamps south of Berlin combined with rain and the Marshal's ill health to bog them down. The French (blue) are on the attack and must occupy both Gross Beeren and the Windmill Heights (North of the main town).

The Battle of Katzbach (August 25th, 1813)

Author: [HWK]Stu. The two armies, roughly equal in size, stumbled upon one another, taking both by surprise. In the midst of the confusion and heavy rain, MacDonald (French General) seemed to recover first. Although his orders were to defend the flank of Napoleon's main force from Bl�cher, MacDonald decided to attack. He dispatched two-thirds of his army, about 60,000 men, in an attempt to flank the Russo-Prussian right. But confusion reigned again as the French columns found themselves too far apart to support one another. The attack lost momentum. The map features some great landscape and forested areas. French (blue) are obliged to attack, no-upgrades.

The Battle of Dresden (August 26th-27th, 1813)

The Battle of Dresden resulted in a French victory under Napoleon Bonaparte against forces of the Sixth Coalition of Austrians, Russians and Prussians under Field Marshal Schwartzenberg. However, Napoleon's victory was not as complete as it could have been. Substantial pursuit was not undertaken after the battle, and the flanking corps was surrounded and forced to surrender a few days later at the Battle of Kulm. The map is more of a siege, with allies (black) obligated to attack, no-upgrades.

The Battle of Leipzig (October 16th - 19th 1813)

Author: [HWK]Stu. The Battle of the Nations (or Battle of Leipzig or German: V�lkerschlacht bei Leipzig) on 16-19 October 1813 was one of the most decisive defeats suffered by Napoleon Bonaparte in the Napoleonic Wars.
