The battle so big it requires an intermission (TM).

So, here's the picture from Ross himself:




And here are the instructions from Ross himself:

Make sure you run thru the overnight actions in the order in the scenario notes as follows:

Reinforcements arrive - place them within the marked defensive perimeters (Army of Poland should arrive in the location marked with the white X)
Note to the French:  There is a BIG CHUNK of Allied reinforcements coming essentially behind your left flank in the south.
   
Rally all eligible units in current position

Resupply all artillery - those that retired may rejoin their Corps
I will handle this during the week.

Redeploy all units within the defensive perimeters up to 12Bw from where they currently stand.

Reassign - French players can now decide which Corps fall under Ney in the North and Murat in the South. Old Guard Guard remain free to be assigned later in the battle.

Retire - the side should just make sure that there remains a 4BW gap between forces. In the Southern Sector I feel this should compel the French who took the offensive to fall back from the Allies around Fuchsayen. In the other areas in the Southern sector, and those in the Northern Sector,  the Allies should fall back from the French positions.

Exception - As part of the redeployment actions I would allow the isolated French units (North of Seehuasen) to move 12BW towards either Neutzsh (to hold the crossing there or 12BW towards Leipzig.

I may also allow the French Guard to take up positions slightly to their North up as far as Paumsdorf and the ridgeline the runs between it and the river.

See you Saturday!

Hi Everybody,

Don't forget that in the up corner near the woods there are the Russians' Scums. I do understand the disappointed French, but that corner it's still ours  :D

Hope I can make it for saturday night, want to continue to charge French Cavalry if I can (just joking, I know I was lucky)

See you (better say, listen you) on saturday I do Hope,

Stay Safe

Ciao

OJ wanted a sense of just how much the Allies are getting...soooo...

The Austrian Reserve Corps:



The Prussians arriving, essentially, behind the French left in the south.



And, yeah, the Army of Poland which is arriving at the "X" on the map.

What are the French getting?
