PART ONE: SERIES RULES (Version 7.38)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This game is a two-player simulation of Napoleonic battles at the Grand Tactical level. You can play each game as an individual set-piece, or undertake a 'Campaign' consisting of several battles played in sequential order.

1.1 Inventory

See the Study Folder for a complete list of components. (One six sided die is needed for play -- not included). If any parts are missing, or with any rules questions, please write: Operational Studies Group, PO Box 569, Sparks-Glencoe, MD 21152, USA; e-mail: [email protected]

1.2 The Rulebooks

This rule book contains the basic rules that apply to all games in this series. The Study Folder contains Special Rules, Scenario Information, Historical Commentary, and Design Notes. All rules about the play of cards are in the optional booklet of Card Instructions (24.0).

1.3 The Map

The maps provide the playing surfaces, depicting the area where the battles occurred. A hexagonal grid overlaying the maps divides the playing surface into hexes. Each hex is 480 meters across (525 yards, 50 acres). Each hex has a four-digit code printed on it. Slope hexsides represent a rise of 50 to 100 feet or more. Crests are 20-50 feet. A hex is Woods or Marsh if one-third or more of the hex contains the terrain symbol.

1.4 The Playing Pieces

(1.41) The playing pieces are of five types: Combat Units, Vedettes (16.0), Leaders (5.0), Trains (18.0), and Markers. All combat units have a Full Strength side; most have a Reduced Strength reverse. Leaders, Vedettes and combat units with a Strength of "one" have a Flag reverse.

(1.42) How to Read the Units: The numbers and symbols printed on combat units include:

• Unit I.D.
• Command Designation (Glossary)
• Combat Strength: one SP = +/- 1 battalion, 1 cavalry regt., or 1 battery
• Initiative Rating (5.22)
• Movement Allowance (7.2)
• Size: XX Division, X Brigade, III Regiment, II Battery, [X] Ad Hoc Task Force
• Unit Type
• Number of Vedettes they can deploy (16.11)

Leaders show: Name; Commander (Command Points, Movement Allowance) or Officer (Command Designation, Initiative Rating, Movement Allowance). Unit types shown: Infantry, Heavy Cavalry, Vedettes (16.0), Artillery (13.0), Horse Artillery.

(1.43) Markers: Markers are placed on the map to indicate status of units or hexes. Markers include: Failed Repulse, Out of Supply, Control, Demoralized, Out of Command, In Command, Pontoon Train, Baggage Train, Burnt Bridge, Turn.

1.5 Initial Set up

Carefully punch out the units and sort them by Command Designation. Then select a scenario (see Scenario Information in the Study Folder for details). The units are placed on the map according to the Initial Set up. The First Player (stated in the Scenario Information) always sets up before the Second Player. All units start hidden (8.0).

Units designated (R) are set up with their reduced side facing up. Each side may place one force under March Orders if it has a Commander on the map (20.1).

2.0 SEQUENCE OF PLAY

The Game is played in a series of Game-Turns, representing one hour of daylight, or 3-6 hours of night.

2.1 Day Game-Turns

Each Day Game-Turn is divided into two Player Turns subdivided into four Phases. The First Player resolves all four Phases of his Player Turn, and then the Second Player does the same. Each of the Phases must be resolved in the exact order given. After the Second Player Turn, the Game-Turn is complete and a new Game-Turn begins.

First Player Turn

A. Start Phase:

1. Weather Segment: The First player rolls on the Weather table on the first turn of each day, and at other times as determined by the Weather Duration Die Roll (23.12).
2. Card Segment: OPTIONAL (24.0) See separate 4-page folder.

B. Command Phase:

1. Supply Segment: On turns when weather is checked, or as indicated on the TRC, the Phasing Player checks supply for his forces (17.1). If not using the cards, the Phasing Player may declare a General Retreat (20.5).
2. Recovery Segment: On turns when Weather is checked, or as indicated on the TRC, the Phasing Player may attempt to Recover Units (22.1).
3. Reorganization Segment: The Phasing Player may use eligible Leaders to bring eliminated units back into play at reduced strength (22.2).
4. Command Segment:
   • a. The Phasing Player removes all "Out of Command" markers from his forces.
   • b. The Phasing Player allocates his Command Points (6.1), placing Officers and Combat Units (within Command Range) "in Command."
   • c. The Phasing Player may attempt to place formations that did not receive a Command Point 'in Command' by rolling against the Officer's Initiative Rating (6.31).
   • d. "Out of Command" markers are placed on all forces not in Command (6.1)
   • e. Pontoon Bridges may be reconfigured (18.34).

C. Movement Phase:

1. The Command Movement Segment: The Phasing Player may move all of his forces that are in Command (or under a March Order [20.1]). Reinforcements enter at this time. Units may attempt to Repulse enemy units out of the way (9.0).
2. Initiative Movement Segment: The Phasing Player can now attempt to move Combat units that are marked "Out of Command." For each Out of Command unit he wishes to move he rolls against its Initiative Rating, then moves it if it passes (roll-move, roll-move). A die-roll equal to or less than this rating permits the unit to move up to its full Movement Allowance; however, the unit is still considered Out of Command and keeps its Out of Command marker. If the die roll is greater than its Initiative Rating, the unit may not move.

NOTE: Individual units within Command Range of their Officers, whose officer already on this turn failed his Initiative check, may not themselves roll for initiative.

D. Combat Phase

Combat is resolved in a series of Steps as outlined below:

• 1. LOS Step: Both players simultaneously reveal all their Units and Leaders that are within LOS (8.3) of the enemy.
• 2. Cavalry Retreat Step: Defending cavalry, horse artillery, and Vedettes may Retreat Before Combat (10.2). After defending units have retreated, attacking cavalry may also Retreat Before Combat.
• 2A. Artillery Reaction Fire Step. The non-phasing Player executes bombardment (13.0). Bombardment Strength may be reduced by Counter-Battery Fire (CBF, 13.5).
• 2B. Attack Declaration Step: The attacker must declare which friendly units are attacking which enemy units (10.3).
• 3. Bombardment Step: The Phasing Player executes artillery bombardment (13.0). CBF applies (13.5). Artillery that was Suppressed or Retreated in Step 2A may not bombard now.
• 4. Cavalry Charge Step: The Phasing Player executes cavalry charges (14.0).
• 5. Combat Step: The Phasing Player conducts attacks (10.0). Exclude the strength of defending Arty that fired in Step 2A.
• 6. 2nd LOS Step: If opposing forces remain engaged (adjacent) after combat, they remain revealed. Forces no longer in Enemy LOS are again hidden (8.5).

Second Player Turn

Command, Movement and Combat Phases are resolved as described for the First Player. (If using the cards, begin with the optional Card Segment.)

A. Command Phase B. Movement Phase C. Combat Phase D. Game-Turn Marker Phase: The Game-Turn Marker is moved into the next space on the Turn Record Track, and a new Game-Turn begins.

2.2 Night Game-Turns

The first and last Game-Turn(s) of each 24-hour period are Night Turn(s). Night PM comes before Night AM. The differences between Night and Day are summarized below:

• The player turns in a Night Turn are reversed (the Second Player Turn is resolved before the First Player Turn).
• There is no Weather Segment -- Weather for the night depends on the last daylight turn's weather.
• The Start Phase is different (2.2A).
• Only units under March Orders may move (20.4).
• There is a Disengagement Phase (2.2A1).
• There is no Night Combat Phase.

Second Player Night Turn

A. Start Phase

1. Disengagement & LOS Segment (Night PM turns): The Phasing Player removes his units from any EZOCs one or two hexes, not entering another EZOC. If no hex is available, the units remain engaged. Units in a town, I.P., or chateau (15.0) are not required to Disengage. Check LOS (23.14).
2. Recovery Segment: All Friendly units still remaining in the Awaiting Recovery box are shifted to the Recovered Section.
3. Card Segment (Night AM turns): OPTIONAL
   • Count VP's for cards played, and for leaders in Towns.
   • Remove used Mode Cards from play.
   • Discard all cards from hand.
   • Adjust decks if directed to by the scenario instructions.
   • Reshuffle both decks.

B. March Order Dispatch Phase (Night AM turns)

Unless a General Retreat is declared, any one friendly Force may be sent a March Order (20.42). This March Order takes effect in the upcoming day. EXCEPTION: If a General Retreat is declared, this becomes effective immediately.

C. Night March Phase

Units with a current March Order (20.4) in effect. Movement Allowance at night is 2/3 MPs (inf/cav).

First Player Night Turn

1st Player Night Turn comprises phases A-C above, and D.

D. Game-Turn Marker Phase

The Game-Turn Marker is moved into the next space on the Turn Record Track indicating the beginning of the next turn. Check the scenario for any turn-by-turn Victory Point awards.

3.0 STACKING

3.1 General Rule

It costs one Movement Point to stack one combat unit with another. You can move through a friendly unit's hex at no extra cost. EXCEPTION: Road March (3.3). Apply stacking limits only at the end of a phase.

3.2 Stacking Limits

(3.21) Basic Stacking Rule: Any two combat units, regardless of their size, type, or formation, may stack in a hex.

(3.22) Divisional Integrity: All units belonging to the same division may stack three to the hex without a leader present. EXCEPTION: Division-level formations with their own officer counter use 3.23 instead.

(3.23) Leader Stacking Bonus: A Leader's hex may contain up to 5 units, up to 2 of which may be infantry. If the stack has Divisional Integrity, 3 of the 5 units may be infantry. If the Leader leaves the hex then the overstacked units must leave too, per rules for Retreat (12.3) and Displacement (12.36).

(3.24) Free Stacking Units: Leaders, Deployed Pontoon Bridges, and Markers do not count against the stacking limit. Up to 3 vedettes (16.0) may join any stack over and above the stacking limits noted above. EXCEPTION (16.12).

3.3 Stacking Restrictions

Units in Road March: can unstack but may not stack. Units may not move through friendly units in Road March. Units in Road March may move through friendly units not in Road March.

Pontoon and baggage trains: may not stack with any type of unit (including other train units) and if displaced, they are destroyed (18.16).

Chateaux: A chateau loses its combat effect if the hex contains more than two defending infantry units, plus any leaders and vedettes (15.21).

4.0 ZONES OF CONTROL

4.1 General Rule

The six hexes immediately surrounding a Combat Unit comprise its Zone of Control (ZOC). All Combat Units and vedettes exert a ZOC at all times, even into a hex occupied by an enemy unit. Leaders, Pontoon and Baggage Trains do not have ZOCs. If a Friendly Combat Unit is in an Enemy ZOC (EZOC), the opposing units are equally and mutually affected by the other's ZOC.

4.2 ZOCs and Terrain

ZOCs extend into all terrain types except across unfrozen Rivers or into Improved Positions and Chateaux. If an unfrozen River hexside intervenes (whether the hexside is bridged, unbridged, or contains a ford), the hex is not in a unit's ZOC.

Combat Units' and Vedettes' ZOCs extend into all adjacent hexes except across River hexsides. A Vedette ZOC is identical to a regular ZOC, except it does not block enemy retreats.

4.3 ZOCs and Movement

(4.31) Stops Movement: Combat Units and vedettes may freely enter EZOCs but then may not move again until they:

• Retreat Before or After Combat,
• the enemy retreats or is eliminated,
• they Disengage during a Night Turn (2.2A1), or
• after a successful Repulse (9.21).

The term "Engage" means entering an EZOC (Glossary).

(4.32) Prevents Movement: Leaders may not enter EZOCs voluntarily unless a Friendly Combat Unit occupies the hex. A Train cannot move into an EZOC at all.

4.4 ZOCs and Combat

During the Combat Phase every Phasing Combat Unit in an EZOC must attack (10.31 for exceptions). Every enemy Combat Unit that is in a Phasing Combat Unit's ZOC must be attacked. See Retreat Before Combat (10.2) for exceptions.

4.5 Other Effects of ZOCs

• Night Disengagement (2.2A1)
• Leaders (5.3)
• Retreats (12.31)
• Lines of Supply (no effect -- 17.44)
• Vedettes (16.25)
• General Retreat (disengagement -- 20.51)

5.0 LEADERS

5.1 Purpose

Leaders perform four important functions:

• They place Combat Units in Command (6.0) so that they may be moved as a formation, not individually.
• They Reorganize eliminated units (22.2).
• They facilitate the Advance After Combat of more than one Combat Unit (12.4-B).
• They facilitate Stacking (3.23).

5.2 Types of Leaders

Commander, Officer, Commander-Officer.

(5.21) Commanders: Commanders have a Command Range of 4 hexes and a Movement Allowance of 10. Standing at the top of the "chain of command," they may place friendly Officers and Combat Units in Command. Each Commander has a Command Rating in brackets that is the number of Command Points he may execute in a given Command Phase. With each Command Point he can place in command one Officer plus one Combat Unit. An integrated division (3.22) counts as "one unit."

EXAMPLE: A Commander with a Command Rating of [1] may place one Officer and one Combat Unit in Command.

(5.22) Officers: Officers are the middle link in the chain of command. They are in charge of specific Formations (Corps or Divisions). An Officer commands all Combat Units that share his Command Designation. Each Officer has an Initiative Rating in parentheses that is used to determine if he will move (if not already placed in Command by a Commander.) A die roll equal to or less than his Initiative Rating puts him in Command. Officers have a Command Range of 3 hexes and a Movement Allowance of 6.

EXAMPLE: Bernadotte commanded the I Corps in 1806. All French Combat Units that bear the I Corps designation and a dark green stripe are part of Bernadotte's Formation, and may be placed in Command only by him or by a Commander.

(5.23) Commander-Officers: Commander-Officers are Commanders with a [1] or [2] rating, assigned to a specific formation. Their Command Range is 4. A Commander-Officer always has to spend his first command point to put his own formation in command.

EXAMPLE: A Commander-Officer with [2] Command Points may command his own formation plus another formation's officer, and 2 more units of any friendly formation.

5.3 Leaders and EZOCs

A Leader may only enter an EZOC if accompanied by Friendly Combat Units or if a friendly Combat Unit is already there. A Leader may exit an EZOC during the Movement Phase but friendly units in the hex must remain there. EXCEPTION: (3.23).

5.4 Leaders and Combat

(5.41) Advance After Combat: Leaders and all (undemoralized) infantry and cavalry units of their stack may advance one hex into a hex vacated by the enemy as a result of combat.

(5.42) Retreat and Capture: Leaders stacked with friendly combat units can always retreat with their stack. Every Leader in a retreating stack is subject to a separate die-roll:

Die	Leader
1-5	retreats 1-4 hexes, per combat result. *
6	is captured (immediately removed from play).

* If the stack is eliminated, use the table below (5.51)

5.5 Leader Capture or Displacement

(5.51) A Leader alone is subject to capture whenever adjacent to enemy combat units that exert a ZOC into the Leader's hex; or whenever he is the target of a bombardment that produces a result. As soon as this occurs, roll a die:

Die	Leader
1-5	is displaced to nearest friendly-occupied hex (a path of retreat is not needed for one man)
6	is captured (immediately removed from play).

(5.52) Replacement Officer: If a Corps officer is captured, place his counter on the Turn Track two turns in the future (if he is captured on GT 4, place him on the track for GT 6). That turn bring the leader in at the start of the Command Phase, within one hex of the friendly unit nearest to his last hex. Henceforth the officer will have one point less than the original Initiative (a "1" stays a "1"). A Commander-Officer's replacement (5.23) is an officer with an Initiative of 4. (When Commanders are captured they not replaced.)

6.0 COMMAND

6.1 The Command Segment

During the Friendly Command Segment, the Phasing Player uses the following procedure to determine which of his Officers (and Forces) are in Command:

STEP 1: Each commander may use his Command Rating (5.21) to place in Command friendly units within his Command Range (4 hexes). With each Command Point he can place in command one Officer plus either any one Combat Unit or one stack of an Integrated Division. If an Officer is in Command, then all his units within his Command Range (3 hexes) are automatically in Command. If in Road March the entire Road March column is in command.

STEP 2: Conduct Initiative Checks (6.31) for any/or all Officers not placed in Command by a Commander.

STEP 3: After all Command Points have been allocated, the Phasing Player places Out of Command (OOC) markers on top of each Officer, unit or stack not in Command. If an entire corps is out of command, place the OOC marker on the corps officer who has failed his Initiative roll. If individual units of a corps are in command, while the rest of the corps is OOC, place in Command Markers on the units in command, and place the OOC marker on the corps officer.

6.2 Effects of Command

IN COMMAND: An Officer or Combat Unit placed in Command in this Command Segment is in Command until the next Friendly Command Segment. Units in Command may move and Advance After Combat. Trains, Commanders, and units under March Orders are always in Command.

OUT OF COMMAND: If an Officer or Combat Unit is Out of Command at the end of a Friendly Command Segment, it remains so until the next Friendly Command Segment. Out of Command Combat units suffer the following penalties:

• They may not damage or repair Spans (7.6).
• May expend their full Movement Allowance during the Initiative Movement Segment only if they pass an individual Initiative check (6.32). An officer may roll just to move himself If he didn't roll in the Command Segment.
• May NOT Advance After Combat or Bombardment

Combat Units do not have to be in Command in order to attack (10.0), Bombard (13.0), or Charge (14.0).

6.3 Initiative Checks

(6.31) Officer Initiative Checks: To conduct an Initiative check for Officers not receiving direct Command, roll the die. If the result is equal to or less than his Initiative, the Officer is in Command and all units in his Formation within Command Range (6.4) are also in Command. If the die roll was greater than the Initiative Rating, place an Out of Command marker on the Officer. An officer Out of Command because he reorganized units this turn cannot perform an Initiative check.

(6.32) Combat Unit Initiative Checks: During the Initiative Movement Segment, Out of Command units may check for Initiative. You can bypass your Corps Officers and rely upon the initiative of individual units if you wish to do so. However if you roll first for an officer's initiative, then any of his units that are in command range may not roll for initiative. If the OOC Unit passes this check it may move, but its Out of Command marker is not removed as a reminder that it may not advance after combat.

NOTE: Officers who successfully roll for Initiative are in Command -- individual units that successfully roll for Initiative remain Out of Command.

EXAMPLE: Two combat units are in range of their Officer who failed his Initiative die roll. These combat units may not roll for Initiative. If the Player did not roll for the Officer, he could roll for the units in the Initiative Movement Segment.

(6.33) Demoralized: The Initiative of a Demoralized unit is always 1 less than printed (21.2).

(6.34) Divisional Initiative: The Player may choose to roll once for each integrated division (3.22), using the best initiative in the division as the whole stack's initiative.

6.4 Command Range

Commanders have a Command Range of 4, Officers a Command Range of 3 hexes. All hexes count as "one" regardless of terrain. Units belonging to the same formation in a Road March column are in Command if they are within two hexes of any other unit of their formation in Road March, on a connected road or trail, that is itself already in command. Command Range may not be traced:

• into an EZOC which is unoccupied by Friendly Combat Units;
• into an enemy-occupied hex; or
• across an unbridged and unfrozen River or Lake Hexside

EXAMPLE: Officer A belongs to I Corps. Officer B belongs to VI Corps. Ney, the Commander, is within 4 hexes of Officer A so he can use his Command Point to put that Officer in Command (note that the command range may only cross River hexsides at Bridges). Officer A then transmits Command to his four units of his corps (within 3 hexes). Ney also puts one Combat Unit of VI Corps in Command. Command Range cannot enter EZOCs. Officer B will have to roll for Initiative. If successful, his remaining 3 units are in command.

7.0 MOVEMENT

7.1 The Basics

During the Movement Phase, the Phasing Player may move all, some, or none of his units up to their full Movement Allowance (MA) in any direction, subject to terrain restrictions and the presence of Enemy units and EZOCs. A unit must be in Command, under a March Order, or must pass an Initiative check to be able to move. The Phasing Player may move units individually or as a stack. Whether moving individually or by stack, each move must be completed prior to moving the next individual unit or stack.

7.2 Movement Points (MPs)

(7.21) Each hex costs a number of MPs. The amount varies depending on the terrain in the hex and on the hexside crossed (the Terrain Effects chart). The MP costs are deducted from the Movement Allowance of the unit as it moves from hex to hex. All MP costs are cumulative. Unused MPs may not be saved up from turn to turn or loaned by one unit to another. When a unit ceases movement, all unused MPs are forfeit. EXCEPTION: If a hex has both Woods and a Chateau, ignore the Chateau cost.

(7.22) Cavalry Costs: Horse Artillery, Trains, Leaders, Cavalry and Vedettes pay cavalry costs for all terrain types.

7.3 Minimum Movement

A unit may never expend more MPs than its MA in a single Movement Phase; however, if the cost of the first hex and hexside exceeds the printed Movement Allowance of the unit, it may move into the hex and end its move for that turn.

7.4 Movement Restrictions

Once the Phasing Player has removed his hand from the unit he is moving he may not return to moving that piece again without the consent of his opponent.

A Unit cannot enter a hex occupied by an opposing unit. EXCEPTION: Cavalry Charge (14.0).

7.5 Road March

In order to benefit fully from the road, a formation would have to make a long narrow column: trains in the middle, infantry marching off to either side.

(7.51) Road March Procedure: All units (including Trains and Demoralized units) may use Road March. The player may declare Road March at any point in the unit's movement. As the Phasing Player begins to move a unit on the road, he declares that it will use the road MP cost and the unit is marked with a "Road March" marker. A unit in Road March need not remain on road hexes, but is in Road March until declared otherwise (7.56).

NOTE: There is no cost to declare Road March, and no cost to rotate the directional arrow on the Marker.

EXAMPLES: Unit A is a Cavalry unit so must pay 4 MPs to enter a Woods hex. Unit B is infantry and only pays 2 MPs for Woods. Note that crossing a Crest hexside does not cost MPs. Unit C is not in Road March so must pay 1 MP for each road hex and +1 MP to cross a stream hexside. Unit D is already in Road March so pays only 1/2 MP for each road hex and ignores the +1 MP cost to cross bridges and move up Slope. Note that a unit in Road March may leave the road at any time. Unit E pays +1 MP to cross the Bridge and +1 MP to move up the Slope. Unit F is a cavalry type unit and must pay 4 MPs to enter a Marsh hex. Moving down slope costs 0.

(7.52) The Road March Rate: When in Road March, a unit moving from Road to contiguous Road hex pays 1/2 MP and ignores other terrain costs including Spans. When not in Road March a unit moving from trail/road to connected trail/road hexes pays 1 MP per hex (ignoring all other terrain costs except Spans).

(7.53) Road March Restrictions: The restrictions below apply to combat units and trains (not Leaders and Vedettes). Units in Road March may move through and end the Movement Phase adjacent to Friendly units that are not in Road March. However, units in Road March may not:

• stack or move as part of a stack.
• move through a hex containing other units in Road March, nor may other units move through units in Road March.
• enter a hex connected by road or trail to an adjacent Friendly unit in Road March.

(7.54) Road March and Enemy Units: Units in Road March may not make a regular attack, bombard, or charge during the Combat Phase. If attacked they are not penalized but immediately remove the Road March marker. A Unit in Road March must attempt Repulse (9.0) if it enters an EZOC.

(7.55) Road March and Command: A unit in Road March is in Command if within two hexes of another unit of its formation in Command (6.4).

(7.56) Ending Road March: It costs 1 MP to remove a Road March marker voluntarily during the Movement Phase.

(7.57) Vedettes and Leaders: Vedettes and Leaders alone do not need Road March Markers. They always pay road movement rates. Vedettes and Leaders may ignore Road March restrictions and are ignored by units in Road March.

(7.58) Road Movement in Square: Units in Square (14.23) may benefit from Road Movement if moving on Roads or Trails (see Charge Combat Table, Key)

7.6 Bridges and Trestles

Bridges cross Rivers. Trestles cross Stream hexsides. The term "Span" includes both Bridges and Trestles.

(7.61) Crossing a Span: Units may only cross an unfrozen River hexside by moving over a Bridge or Pontoon (18.33). Combat Units not in Road March pay the following MPs to cross a span:

• +1 MP to cross a Bridge or Trestle
• +2 MPs to cross a Damaged Bridge (even if in Road March).
• Units in Road March, Leaders, and Vedettes never pay extra MPs to cross undamaged spans. Leaders and Vedettes do not have to be in Road March.

(7.62) Damaging Trestles: Any Combat Unit that is not in an EZOC and in Command may damage a Trestle by expending 1 MP in either hex adjoining the spanned hexside. Place a "Burnt Bridge" marker on the damaged Trestle. Damaged Trestles are treated as if they do not exist for purposes of movement, combat, or tracing supply.

(7.63) Damaging Bridges: To damage a Bridge use 7.62 and:

• Only Infantry units may damage Bridges.
• It costs 2 MPs to damage a Bridge.
• Artillery, trains, and supply lines may not cross.

When attacked across any bridge, defenders are doubled. In addition, when attacking across a damaged bridge:

• Use the CRT shifting two-columns left.
• Ar*/Dr* does not convert to Shock. Do not use Shock Table.
• Instead of "Sk" result each side reduces 1 unit; no retreat.
• Dr, Dr2, Dr3, Dr4 requires an Initiative die roll. If the lead unit passes its Initiative check, it may advance across the bridge and defender retreats 1-4 hexes. If lead attack unit fails its Initiative, reduce it and both sides remain in place.
• For retreats across a bridge (damaged or undamaged -- 12.33).

(7.64) Bridge Repair: Follow the procedure for damaging a Bridge (paying 2 MP) or Trestle (1 MP). Multiple repair attempts in a turn are allowed. For each attempt, roll one die:

Die	Bridge	Trestle
1-3	is repaired	is repaired
4-5	no effect	is repaired
6	no effect	no effect

Notes: If either end of the span is:

• in an EZOC -- apply modifier of +1 to repair die roll.
• occupied by an enemy Combat Unit -- repair not permitted.

(7.65) Using a Repaired Span: A Bridge or Trestle may be crossed by any units the moment it is repaired. It may be used for tracing Supply starting on the turn following its repair.

7.7 Other Movement Rules

Night Movement (2.2B); Night Disengagement (2.2A1); Cavalry Charge (14.0); Movement of Trains (18.11)

8.0 HIDDEN FORCES

8.1 General Rule

All forces start the game hidden and remain hidden until revealed. Reinforcements are hidden upon entry.

8.2 Hiding Units

From each stack of units, select one of the following to cover the stack: a Leader, a Vedette, a unit with strength of "one" (those counters have a flag on their reverse sides). If none of the above are present, use a Road March Marker, a Demoralized Marker, an Out of Supply Marker, if any of the above apply; or a Hidden Force Marker. Place the selected counter on top of the stack with the flag or status marker showing.

8.3 Revealing Units -- Reconnaissance

A Hidden Force is revealed:

• During the Movement Phase if in a Repulse -- only units involved are revealed at the time of Repulse (9.0).
• During the Movement Phase upon entering an EZOC -- consult the "Reconnaissance Table." If no Repulse is attempted, each player will reveal all Friendly LC and/or vedette units present in the hex, then cross-reference to determine whether other units will be revealed or whether the vedette(s) are eliminated.
• In the LOS Step at the beginning of any Combat Phase if in an EZOC or within LOS -- both sides are revealed. All hidden units within the LOS must be revealed.
• When a unit retreats or advances after combat into an EZOC; only the adjacent units on both sides are revealed.

8.4 Determining Line of Sight (LOS)

(8.41) General Rule: The LOS is a straight line of 3 hexes from center to center. The LOS is obstructed by Blocking Hexes and Blocking Hexsides, or a hex occupied by units of either side. If any hex or hexside between the sighting unit and the target is blocking terrain, the Line of Sight is blocked. EXCEPTION: Adjacent units are always in LOS of each other. See also 23.0 for Weather effects on LOS.

(8.42) Blocking Hexes: Woods, Chateaux, Hilltops, and Town hexes are Blocking Hexes. A Slope hex blocks the Line of Sight unless the viewing unit is: 1) looking downslope through the Slope hexside; 2) on a Slope hex viewing another slope hex with no other blocking hexes intervening; or 3) on a Hilltop hex viewing a Hilltop that is not at a higher elevation.

(8.43) Blocking Hexsides: Crest and Slope Hexsides are Blocking Hexsides. The LOS is blocked if it passes through the juncture of two or more blocked hexsides or the juncture of a blocking terrain hexside and a blocking terrain hex. EXCEPTIONS: LOS for the sighting unit (only) is not blocked by:

• Crest hexsides adjacent to the sighting unit, including the vertices on both ends of the hexside (diagram below), or
• Slope hexsides adjacent to a sighting unit on a hilltop hex. A unit on a hilltop can see enemy units below, but the units on lower ground can't reveal the unit on the hilltop.
• In these cases LOS is not reciprocal (also 13.34).

EXAMPLE: Each hex on the diagram is labeled as to whether Senarmont's unit has an LOS into that hex. Note that artillery cannot fire over friendly units, even when on a hilltop. Blocking Terrain in this example is Towns, Woods, units, Slope and Crest. Hexes beyond range are indicated with diagonal lines.

8.5 Obscuring Hidden Forces

A Unit remains revealed as long as it stays in an EZOC, and/or sighted by an enemy LOS. At the end of the Combat Phase, all units not in LOS are re-hidden.

9.0 REPULSE

9.1 Repulse Procedure

(9.11) During the Movement Phase (only) the Phasing Player may attempt to Repulse enemy units in the path of his units; if successful the enemy will retreat immediately. The Combat Units attempting Repulse must first expend the MP cost of the adjacent enemy-occupied hex (or if more than one, the one with the greatest MP cost).

(9.12) Resolving a Repulse Attempt: Both players reveal their units involved. All units that project a ZOC into the repulsing unit's hex must be repulsed as one combined strength. In order for a Repulse to succeed the Repulsing units must have 5:1 odds or greater. Repulsed units retreat in the same fashion as retreats after combat (12.3).

(9.13) Terrain Effects on Repulse: Combat Strengths on both sides may be modified by Terrain (11.1); other Combat modifiers do not apply in a Repulse.

(9.14) Repulse of Vedettes: Vedettes may not attempt Repulse and Repulses against Vedettes always succeed.

9.2 Repulse Effects

(9.21) Effects of a Successful Repulse: If the Repulse succeeds then the Repulsed enemy units immediately retreat two hexes. The Repulsing stack must enter the vacated hex (it has already paid the MP cost). If there is more than one vacated hex, the Repulsing Player chooses one. After a successful Repulse the units may continue moving to the limit of their Movement Allowance, and may attempt a subsequent Repulse. A unit may be Repulsed twice in a single turn.

(9.22) Effects of a Failed Repulse: If the Repulse is unsuccessful, both sides immediately remove any Road March markers. The Repulsing stack immediately ceases movement and must attack the same unit(s) it attempted to Repulse in the following Combat Phase, unless terrain allows units not to attack. Other Friendly units may join this attack. This attack is conducted at two odds columns less than the actual odds. No other column shifts apply.

EXAMPLE: 14 Strength Points attacking 3 would normally resolve at (4:1); after a two-column shift, the combat is resolved at (2:1).

10.0 COMBAT

10.1 The Combat Phase

All Combat between opposing units occurs during the Combat Phase (2.1D for the sequence). Only adjacent Combat Units may be attacked (EXCEPTION: Bombardment -- 13.0). A defending stack may be attacked only once per Combat Phase (EXCEPTION: a hex can be Bombarded and then attacked).

(10.11) LOS Step 2.1/D1: At the beginning of the Combat Phase both players reveal all their units and leaders that are within the enemy Line of Sight (8.4), even if there will be no Combat.

10.2 Retreat Before Combat (RBC)

(10.21) Cavalry RBC: Defending and then Attacking stacks composed only of Cavalry (plus any Leaders, Vedettes and Horse Artillery stacked with Cavalry) may elect to retreat one or two hexes out of an EZOC prior to combat. Vedettes by themselves must Retreat Before Combat (16.26). During this RBC units may not enter an EZOC -- except Vedette ZOCs (16.25). A unit can take only one retreat before combat per turn. If a lone Vedette can't retreat, place it in the appropriate box as in retreat after combat (12.34). NOTE: RBC allows Cavalry to reveal the enemy force during the Combat Phase.

(10.22) Horse Artillery RBC: Horse Artillery that begins a Combat Phase alone (or with an all-cavalry stack) in an EZOC may conduct a 1-hex RBC. Horse Artillery units that do a RBC may still bombard that turn. A lone Horse Artillery unit in an EZOC of any enemy Cavalry unit may not RBC.

(10.23) Restrictions: Units in the EZOC of a cavalry unit with an equal or greater Movement Allowance may not Retreat Before Combat. Cavalry and Horse Artillery may not retreat before combat if surrounded, if stacked with infantry or artillery (other than Horse Artillery), or in a combat resulting from an unsuccessful Repulse.

(10.24) Supply and Morale: Supply and Demoralization do not affect a unit's ability to Retreat Before Combat.

(10.25) Leaders: Leaders that Retreat Before Combat do not roll for capture (5.5).

(10.26) Advance After an RBC: Enemy units may not advance into the vacated hex caused by an RBC, except at a Bridge. Cavalry defending a bridge that retreats before combat may be followed-up by enemy attackers across the bridge. (Because of its importance they would likely seize the bridge if left undefended even for less than a whole turn.)

10.3 Defining Combat

(10.31) All Engaged Units Must Attack: The Phasing Player must define all his combats before resolving them. The attacker may define his attacks freely -- provided all enemy units in his ZOCs are attacked or bombarded, and all of his engaged Combat Units attack. Cavalry that retreats before combat does not count as attacking.

EXCEPTIONS:

• Units in Towns, Improved Positions, or Chateaux do not have to attack; if they attack, 15.12 applies.
• An artillery unit in an EZOC does not have to attack if other units in its hex do so (13.41).
• An artillery unit that bombarded this turn cannot join in an attack.
• A unit in Road March cannot join in an attack.
• A cavalry unit that charged this turn cannot join an attack.
• If an artillery unit bombards a hex, it frees friendly units adjacent to that hex from having to attack it (13.6) -- unless other enemy units are adjacent.

(10.32) Rivers and Combat: Adjacent units that are on the opposite side of an unbridged, unfrozen River may not be attacked but may be bombarded. Adjacent units on the opposite side of a bridged, unfrozen River may attack but need not do so.

(10.33) Multi-Hex Combat

• A defending stack may be attacked by up to six enemy stacks (one in each adjacent hex).
• All of the defending Combat Units in a stack must be attacked as a single combined strength -- they may not be attacked separately.
• Two or more defending hexes may be attacked as a single force if the Attacker is adjacent to all defenders.
• All attacking Combat Units in a single stack must attack as one combined strength.
• If an attacking stack is located in the ZOC of several enemy stacks, and no other Friendly stack is adjacent to the enemy stacks, it must attack all of the stacks as one attack (and the defender may choose the one applicable terrain modifier that is most beneficial to him).

10.4 Combat Procedure

The Phasing Player conducts attacks in the order he desires. Attacks are resolved one at a time, and their results fully applied before proceeding with the next attack. Follow these steps for each combat:

STEP 1: Compare the combined attack strength of the participating attacking units against the total defense strength (modified by terrain) of the defending units. This is expressed as an odds ratio (attacker to defender). Round off this odds ratio downward to conform to the next lower odds ratio on the CRT. (Retain all fractions until the odds are computed.)

EXAMPLE: 16 SPs attacking 6 SPs reduces to 2:1. 15 SPs attacking 10 would be resolved at 1.5:1 odds.

STEP 2: The attacking player locates the calculated combat odds column on the Combat Results Table and rolls the die. Cross-referencing the die result with the odds column gives the Combat Result, which is applied immediately.

STEP 3: Adjust Casualty Level Markers to reflect combat strength lost (21.1).

11.0 COMBAT MODIFIERS

11.1 Terrain Effects on Combat

The terrain in the defending hex -- or on the hexside separating the defending force from the attacker -- may affect Combat Strengths. Retain all fractions until the odds have been calculated. Terrain Effects on Bombardment are different (13.36). If a unit's strength is reduced to zero, its attack doesn't take place (it remains engaged).

A. Towns: If all defenders are in towns, change Ar*/Dr* results to "Shock" (12.1). Defending Infantry Units have their total Combat Strength increased by 50%. EXCEPTION: Units with an Initiative of "1" (untrained) obtain no defensive benefit from Towns. Cavalry cannot charge into towns.

B. Slopes, Streams & Trestles: If all attacking stacks are attacking across Streams or Trestles, and/or uphill across Slope hexsides, the total strength of the defending force is increased by 50%. The Defender gets the slope benefit only if defending in a hilltop and attacked from the slope hex. Cavalry units cannot Charge uphill or across a Stream or Trestle.

C. Woods hexes: The total strength of all Cavalry and Artillery attacking into or defending in a Woods hex is halved. For all units defending in Woods, change Ar*/Dr* results to "Shock" (12.1). Cavalry units cannot Charge into Woods.

D. Bridges: Units are never required to attack across a Bridge. If all Combat Units are attacking across a Bridge or pontoon over a River (frozen or unfrozen), the Combat Strength of the defending unit is doubled. If the bridge is damaged see (7.63).

E. Crests: Change Ar*/Dr* results to "Shock" (12.1).

F. Chateau: Up to 2 defending Infantry are doubled. Change any Dr result (up to Dr4) to Shock unless the defender is demoralized. Cavalry units cannot Charge into a Chateau hex. Chateau effects on combat are negated in some situations (15.21).

G. Marsh: The total of all Cavalry and Artillery strengths are halved when attacking into or defending in a Marsh. Change "Ar*" result to Shock.

H. Rivers and Lakes: Combat Units may attack across unfrozen Rivers only at Bridges or pontoons (18.3). Frozen Rivers and Lakes are treated as Streams.

NOTE: Terrain modifiers for one side are not cumulative. Always use the one best modifier available to the defender.

11.2 Combined Arms

The attacker (only) may gain a +1 column shift in Combat if he has Infantry, Artillery, and Cavalry participating in the same attack. The Combined Arms benefit is not cancelled by a defending stack of all arms. Vedettes and artillery units that bombarded this phase are disregarded. The Combined Arms bonus does not apply if any of the defenders involved are in Town, Woods, Orchards, I.P.s or Marsh; across a Bridge (across Streams OK); or in Chateaux (unless demoralized). An overrunning Cavalry unit may be considered for Combined Arms even if it is eliminated in the Charge.

11.3 Staking Guard Units

This rule applies to all Guard ("OG," "Gd.," "Gde.," but not "GC" or "YG") units on both sides.

• Once per game, a player may "stake" his Guard units in any one combat. That player receives a one-column favorable shift on the CRT for that combat. A player is never required to stake the Guard. A Guard unit can be in combat without being "staked."
• If any infantry unit of the Guard is involved in an attack (at any time) and the result is "Ae," "Ar," or "Ex," the Demoralization Levels of all Friendly Formations a) whose officers are within 10 hexes or b) that currently have no officer but have any units within 10 hexes are immediately and permanently reduced by 4. EXCEPTION: Regardless of the combat result, if the attack by the Guard demoralizes the opposing formation, then the owning player's Demoralization Levels are not reduced.
• No formation can have its morale reduced more than once per game. French cavalry corps and formations with 4 units or fewer do not have their Demoralization Level reduced.

11.4 Napoleon

If Napoleon is stacked with an engaged force, the odds for combat shift one column in his favor at the French Player's discretion. (Does not apply to Bombardments or Charges.)

EXAMPLE: Napoleon is part of a one-to-one attack, the odds shift to 1.5:1. If Napoleon is defending and the odds are three to one, reduce to two-to-one.

11.5 Other Combat Modifiers

• Failed Repulse (9.22)
• Improved Positions (15.2)
• Snowstorms, Thunderstorms, Artillery in Mud (23.0)

12.0 COMBAT RESULTS

12.1 Explanation of Combat Results

Ae: All attacking Combat Units are eliminated.

Ar (Ar2 or 3): All attacking Combat Units must retreat 1 (2, or 3) hexes.

Ar*/Dr*: During any Storm; across a Crest hexside; or into a Marsh, Woods, Orchard, or Town hex, treat as Shock Result. These sudden encounters occur more frequently in confined passages.

Dr (Dr 2, 3, 4): All Defending Units must retreat 1 (2, 3, or 4) hexes. EXCEPTION: Chateaux (15.1) and attacking across damaged bridges (7.63).

De: All defending Combat Units are eliminated.

Ex (Exchange): All Combat units on the weaker side are eliminated; the stronger side eliminates units which total at least 50% of the (face) Combat Strength of the weaker side. See Exchange Notes below.

EXCHANGE NOTES

A. Artillery units that did not participate in the combat, which are stacked with units that did, may be used to satisfy an "Ex" result. B. Any overrunning Cavalry unit must be the first to be eliminated (14.24). C. Compare (unmodified) face-value SPs of all units.

EXAMPLE: The weaker side has 5 SPs and the other side has four units, with 2, 4, 8, and 10 SPs. Half of 5 is 2.5 and he must lose more, so he removes the '4.'

Sk (Shock): If you obtain a Shock Result, each player rolls one d6. On a 1, 2 add 0; 3, 4 add +1; 5, 6 add +2; to the Initiative of your best unit (the "Lead" unit) and consult the Shock Table (12.2). Victorious cavalry, that is not Demoralized, Out of Supply or Out of Command (whether attacking or defending) must advance into the vacated hex, up to the stacking limit.

SHOCK NOTES

A. The Initiative of a Demoralized unit is 1 less than printed. B. When Artillery is alone in the hex, disregard its Initiative rating and use "1" for its Shock Combat value. C. Any overrunning Cavalry must be the lead unit (14.24). D. Shock Modifier: Increase an Attacker's Modified Initiative by 1 if the combat was resolved at 3:1 or greater on the CRT. E. 1R = Reduce one attacking and one defending unit. The owner must reduce either the strongest or the best initiative of his units involved.

12.2 The Shock Table

Note: the Shock Table itself (like the Combat Results Table, Bombardment Table, Charge Combat Table and Reconnaissance Table) is printed on the separate Combat Tables folder / Player Aid cards and is not part of the rules documents (Series Rules, Study Folder) transcribed here; the Study Folder pages titled "Notes to Combat Tables" and "Combat Tables" are blank in the published PDF.

12.3 Retreats

(12.31) Basic Rule: On a Result of "Retreat," the owning Player must move his unit (or stack retreating together) one or more hexes (as specified by the result). A retreating Combat Unit may not cross a prohibited hexside; enter an EZOC or a hex occupied by enemy Combat Units (EXCEPTION: Vedettes -- 16.25); or exceed stacking limits. Friendly units do not negate EZOCs for purposes of a combat unit's retreat. A leader may retreat through an EZOC if occupied by a friendly unit. A retreating friendly unit may enter a hex occupied by a friendly unit but that unit immediately comes out of Road March.

(12.32) Vedettes and Retreat: Combat Units may retreat into the ZOCs of an enemy Vedette, or even into a hex currently occupied solely by an enemy Vedette if no other path of retreat is available (the enemy Vedette is displaced; 12.36).

EXAMPLES OF COMBAT: Units A-1 and A-2 attack unit T at 11 to 4 odds, which rounds down to 2-1. Units B-1 and B-2 attack unit U in the Woods. The Woods halve the cavalry unit's combat strength and converts any Ar*/Dr* results to Shock (Sk). The odds are 3.5 to 4 which rounds down to 1-1.5. Unit C attacks unit V across a Crest hexside -- the odds are 9 to 4 which rounds down to 2-1. The Crest hexside will convert an Ar*/Dr* result to a Shock Result (which is in unit C's favor). Unit D attacks unit W across a Stream hexside into a Town hex. Since terrain modifiers are not cumulative, the defender must choose which benefit to use; and in this case he picks the Stream since he does not want any Ar* results converted to Sk (he would lose a Shock battle). Unit W is increased by 50% yielding odds of 6 to 6.

The two units at E attack unit X up a Slope. The defender's combat strength is increased 50% to 6. The odds are 10 to 6 (which is 1.5 to 1). The three attacking units at F would have earned the Combined Arms Shift, but it is not allowed against defenders in Town hexes. The Town increases unit Y's Combat Strength 50% to 4.5. The odds are 12 to 4.5 (2-1) and Ar*/Dr* results convert to Sk. Unit G (cavalry) attacks artillery unit Z in a marsh hex. Both of those unit types are halved attacking and defending in Marsh, so the odds are 2 to 2. Marsh converts any Ar*/Dr* results to Sk which would be in the cavalry's favor.

(12.33) Retreat Across Bridges: Units that retreat across a Bridge or Pontoon over an unfrozen River (not a Trestle or a pontoon bridge crossing a stream) risk elimination and must roll the die: the first unit to cross the Bridge is permanently eliminated on a 6; thereafter add +1 to the die for every retreating unit that follows (i.e. a second unit is permanently eliminated on a 5 or 6). If a pontoon deployed across an unfrozen River hexside with no existing bridge or another deployed pontoon, the first retreating unit is eliminated on a roll of 4, 5, or 6, with one still added for each successive unit. The owning player chooses the order of retreat. Retreats across damaged bridges are not allowed, and any retreating units are automatically eliminated (PEU) if there is no alternate hex.

(12.34) Units Unable to Retreat Fully: If a unit cannot retreat fully it is eliminated. If any part of its retreat path is blocked only by EZOCs or the map edge, the unit is placed in the Units Awaiting Recovery (UAR) Box. If it could not retreat fully because of a prohibited hexside and/or enemy units (only), roll one die to determine which box to place it in:

Die roll	Place unit in
1-3	UAR Box
4-6	PEU Box

Always place a reduced unit that can't retreat fully for whatever reason into the PEU.

(12.35) Path of Retreat: The unit (or stack) must end its retreat the specified distance from the starting hex -- enter each hex only once. The retreat should shorten the distance to the formation's baggage train or to a friendly supply source (or both). If two or more paths are open to the retreating unit, it must move in better terrain (preferring roads and trails to a roadless Marsh, for instance).

(12.36) Displacement: If the only path available to a retreating force would cause it to exceed the stacking limits (3.2) for a hex, then one or more combat units in the hex must be displaced to make room for it. Displaced units retreat one hex, observing all restrictions governing retreat after combat. However, if the units to be Displaced cannot retreat:

1. the originally retreated force is eliminated instead and will enter the UAR; and
2. if the retreating force contains cavalry the displacing unit must make an Initiative check: if it fails it is eliminated; place in the UAR Box. Trains never displace (18.16).

A displaced force may displace other Combat Units if no other path of retreat is available. Displaced units may not enter EZOCs.

EXAMPLES OF RETREAT: The two stacks of defending units must retreat. EZOCs are indicated with diagonal lines except those of the Vedettes which have no effect against enemy retreats. The only terrain that effects retreats are unbridged Rivers -- which prevent it. Zig-zag retreats are not allowed. A unit must end its move that number of hexes distant from its starting hex. It may retreat across the bridge and Displace the enemy Vedettes. At B, the unit must retreat across a bridge hexside and run the chance of elimination -- the first unit across is eliminated on a die roll of 6, the other unit on a die roll of 5 or 6. Assuming both survive, they can retreat in the path indicated.

12.4 Advance After Combat

Whenever an enemy stack is eliminated or forced to retreat, the owning player may advance friendly leaders and one or more friendly units that participated in the combat -- whether as attacker or defender -- and occupy the vacated hex and not beyond it.

A. One Infantry Unit plus all cavalry in a given attack may advance if no leader is present (or Leader doesn't advance).

B. LEADER BONUS: If a leader is in the stack and advances, all undemoralized infantry and cavalry units may advance with him.

C. Artillery may never advance after combat. If the defenders vacate the hex as a result of bombardment, any phasing infantry and/or cavalry adjacent to that hex (with any leaders) may advance into the vacated hex -- after all bombardments are concluded. A unit cannot advance if it has an unresolved combat to perform, or is Out of Command.

EXAMPLE: A stack of artillery units bombard a 6 [4] 4, forcing its retreat. The 5 [3] 4 may not advance -- it must attack the other 6 [4] 4.

D. If the enemy force occupied two or more hexes, attacking cavalry (only) may advance into the other vacated hex.

E. Combat Units and Leaders may choose not to advance. The option to advance must be exercised immediately. A unit may not be attacked, or attack again, after advancing (even if it advances next to units that have not yet resolved Combat).

F. Demoralized and Out of Command units may not advance after combat.

G. Victorious Combat Units may advance into the vacated enemy hex even if they advance from one EZOC to another.

H. Units may not violate stacking limits after an advance. A victorious overrunning cavalry unit that remains in the hex counts against stacking.

EXAMPLES OF ADVANCE: At A no leader is present so only one Infantry and all Cavalry units can advance into the defender's vacated hex. At B the leader allows all undemoralized, non-Artillery units in his stack to advance, along with all engaged Cavalry units.

12.5 UAR and PEU Boxes

(12.51) UAR: Any time a full-strength Combat Unit is eliminated due to an Ae, De, or Ex, the owning Player must determine if it could have retreated 1 hex without encountering prohibited terrain or enemy-occupied hexes. If a retreat route is open or is only blocked by EZOCs it is placed in the Awaiting Recovery box. Otherwise, the unit must be placed in the Permanently Eliminated Units (PEU) box.

(12.52) PEU: The following Combat Units are also ineligible for Reorganization, and are placed in the Permanently Eliminated Units box when lost in combat:

• Baggage and Pontoon Trains
• Already Reduced: A unit already at its Reduced Strength when it was eliminated.
• No Reduced Strength: A Combat unit with a strength of [1] has no reduced strength.
• Retreat Across Bridges: Units retreating across a bridge risk permanent elimination (12.33).
• Ae on the Charge Table
• Unable to Retreat fully -- risks permanent elimination (12.34)

13.0 BOMBARDMENT

13.1 Artillery Units

In addition to their regular attack ability against adjacent units, artillery may make bombardment attacks. Bombardments are permitted by the Phasing Player during the Bombardment Step and by the non-phasing Player during the Artillery Reaction Fire Step (13.5). Artillery may Bombard or participate in regular combat in a given Combat Phase -- it may not do both.

13.2 Range

Bombarding Arty must be either 2 or 3 hexes from its target, unless Bombarding over an unbridged, unfrozen River.

13.3 Bombardment Procedure

(13.31) Sequence: For each bombardment, follow these steps:

1. Designate the Bombarding Units (13.32).
2. Designate the Target Hex (13.33).
3. Determine the Line of Sight -- if blocked, the bombardment is prohibited (13.34).
4. Determine the Bombardment Strength (13.35).
5. Calculate the Effects of Terrain (13.36).
6. Resolve on the Bombardment Table (13.37).
7. Execute the Combat Results (13.38).

(13.32) Designate the Bombarding Units: Any number of artillery units may bombard a single hex as long as all the units are eligible to fire at the target hex. Artillery units stacked together may bombard different hexes. An Artillery unit may not bombard more than one enemy occupied hex, nor may it split its strength. Artillery units may not Bombard when:

• in a woods or orchard hex; they may participate in an adjacent regular combat.
• alone in an EZOC; they must attack an adjacent unit (however, see 13.5).
• the weather is Snowstorm, Thunderstorm, Duststorm, Snow, Rain, or Fog (23.0).
• in Road March.

(13.33) Designate the Target Hex: All enemy units in a hex under bombardment are bombarded as one target. A hex may not be bombarded more than once in a Combat Phase, however, a hex may be the target of a bombardment and then a regular attack during the same Combat Phase. The target must be a combat unit or leader...

• in range and in the LOS of all Bombarding units.
• not in woods, orchards, or Chateaux.
• not adjacent (EXCEPTION: enemy on the opposite side of an unbridged, unfrozen river).
• not in a Town hex at range 3.

(13.34) Artillery Line of Sight

A. Hilltop Hexes and Slope Hexsides: A Slope hex intervening between a bombarding artillery unit and its target blocks the Line of Sight unless the artillery unit is on the hilltop and is either:

• firing downslope through the Slope hexside; or
• firing on another slope hex (no blocking hexes intervening).

The target units in either case have no reciprocal LOS (8.43).

B. Crest Hexsides: Crest terrain is drawn on both sides of a given crest hexside. LOS is not blocked by a crest adjacent to the bombarding unit. A non-adjacent Crest blocks LOS.

(13.35) Determine the Bombardment Strength: The strength of all Artillery units bombarding a given target is totaled (this may include bombarding units in different hexes). The strength of any artillery units bombarding at 3-hex range is reduced by 50% (if <1 use the <1 column; otherwise round fractions down).

(13.36) Calculate the Effects of Terrain: The effects of terrain on bombardment are as follows:

• Towns: Artillery bombarding into towns are reduced by 1/3. You may not bombard into a town at 3-hex range.
• Woods and Chateau hexes: May not bombard into Woods or Chateaux or out of Woods.
• Marsh: Bombarding SPs are reduced by 1/2.

(13.37) Resolve on the Bombardment Table: All bombardments must be resolved and results applied during the Bombardment or Arty Reaction Fire step. Cross-reference the Bombardment Strength with the die roll and apply modifiers. During mud turns (23.0), modify the die roll by -2.

(13.38) Execute the Bombardment Results: A Bombardment affects all units in the target hex (only). A Bombardment may result in: "Dr" (12.1) or "1R" (Reduce one unit). A "1R" result means one unit in the hex is flipped to its reduced side, or an already-reduced unit is eliminated. The Bombarding Player decides which unit to reduce. The owning player may decide to remain in the hex or voluntary retreat one hex with the remaining units in the target hex. "S" (Suppressed) and "2R" (Reduce two units/steps) are other possible bombardment results. All Suppression Markers on the map are removed at the end of the next Combat Step (Step 5).

(13.39) Hold Your Ground: A Dr result on the Bombardment Table can be converted to a 1R at owning player's option. Select your "lead" unit and roll for Initiative. If successful, the lead unit suffers step loss and there is no retreat.

BOMBARDMENT EXAMPLE: Artillery unit A has no eligible targets -- all are blocked by friendly units or are prohibited. Bombardments cannot be made uphill against a Hilltop hex, into Woods, or across a Crest that is not adjacent to the artillery.

13.4 Artillery Units in an EZOC

(13.41) If an artillery unit is in an EZOC and stacked with a friendly infantry or cavalry, it may bombard a hex different from the one the other units attack. Artillery need not attack the adjacent enemy units as long as some other friendly unit does so. However, an artillery unit suffers all combat results incurred by the units it is stacked with.

(13.42) Regular Attacks: When alone in an EZOC, an artillery unit must attack an adjacent unit and may not bombard. It uses the regular Combat Results Table, and may combine its strength with attacking infantry and cavalry in other hexes. During Mud, Artillery units attack and defend at one-half their normal strength (rounding fractions down). Artillery units in regular combat suffer all Combat Results in the same manner as other units. If the units in their stack suffer an "Ex" result they may be used to satisfy the required losses. Artillery units may never add their strength to a regular attack via a ranged attack -- they must be adjacent. The Initiative Rating of a lone Artillery unit for shock is 1 (12.2).

13.5 Counter-Battery Fire (CBF)

The effective bombardment strength is reduced by one-half the strength of any artillery in the target hex (rounding fractions down). Apply any CBF reduction before modifying the bombardment strength for weather, range, or terrain. If the target has no LOS on the bombarding unit, or is alone in an EZOC (13.42), there is no CBF reduction. EXAMPLE: an ARF by 4 SPs would be reduced to 3 if the target includes 3 SPs of artillery with a LOS. Bombardment has no effect if one-half the target artillery strength is still at least equal to the Bombarding strength.

13.6 Soak-Offs

A unit bombarded in a given turn is considered attacked.

14.0 CAVALRY CHARGES

A cavalry charge in this game is a faster charge, where the cavalry gradually build-up speeds near 300 meters per minute. In a successful cavalry charge, the cavalry unit(s) move through an EZOC directly into the enemy-occupied hex, thereby cutting the retreat route of the overrun unit in the following Combat Step.

14.1 Which Units May Charge

All cavalry (except LC and demoralized cavalry) that have not moved during the previous Movement Phase may make a charge. A hex being charged must also be subjected to a regular attack by at least one friendly infantry or artillery during the same Combat Phase. A cavalry unit may not make a charge and conventional attack during the same Player-Turn.

14.2 Procedure

(14.21) A Cavalry Charge is resolved on the Charge Combat Table during the Charge Step. Charging cavalry may expend the full Movement Allowance during the charge step. It costs one extra MP to enter the Enemy unit's hex. This MP cost reflects the shorter range of charging cavalry. Determine the odds as in combat and roll on the Charge Combat Table.

(14.22) Restrictions: Only one charge may be made by a single stack against a given hex in one Combat Phase. Cavalry units from multiple hexes cannot charge the same hex. A Cavalry Charge may not be conducted:

• into a woods, town, chateau, or improved position
• uphill through Slope
• across a Ford, Stream, or Span hexside
• during a Mud or Night turn (14.3)
• if the Cavalry unit is in Road March
• through an EZOC (except the ZOC of its target)
• through friendly units
• by LC or demoralized cavalry.

Cavalry Charge movement is subject to all Movement Rules (7.0), with the exceptions listed above.

(14.23) Charge Results: The possible results of a Charge are Ae, Pr or Overrun:

• On an Ae result, the charging units are eliminated (PEU).
• On a Pr result, all Phasing (charging) cavalry retreat to their starting hex and reduce 1 or 2 units. The target has offroad Movement costs doubled in the following Movement Phase. Place a Square Marker on the infantry units charged. Remove the Marker at the end of their next Movement Phase.
• On an Overrun result, the cavalry unit(s) move into the enemy-occupied hex. The charging unit's ZOC extends out into all surrounding hexes. In the upcoming regular attack (Combat Step), the retreat route of the overrun unit is cut off.

(14.24) Subsequent Combat Result: The cavalry units making the charge may not add their Attack Strength to the subsequent combat. The subsequent attack is credited with cavalry for purposes of Combined Arms (11.2) even if the cavalry unit is eliminated in the Charge.

A. If the subsequent Combat Result on the Combat Results Table is Dr or De, all defending units are eliminated (UAR), if the charging cavalry unit(s) remain in the hex, and one of the attacking units may advance into the hex as usual. B. If the subsequent Combat Result on the Combat Results Table is Ae or Ar, the cavalry unit(s) are eliminated (UAR). Opposing units may never end any Phase stacked together. C. If the subsequent Combat Result is an Ex, the charging cavalry units are the first to be counted toward the Exchange. D. If the subsequent Combat Result is Sk, the charging Cavalry unit is the lead unit. E. If the Ex or Sk does not clear the hex of enemy units, the charging cavalry units are eliminated (UAR).

14.3 Charges and Weather

Charges are not permitted during Mud and Night Turns. During Snow, Snowstorm, Thunderstorm, Duststorm or Heat, add +1 to the Charge CRT die roll (23.1).

CAVALRY CHARGE EXAMPLES: Hexes marked X may not be a target of Cavalry Charge even if they contained enemy units under attack. Charges may not be conducted across Streams or Rivers, up Slopes or into Woods or Town hexes. At B the Cavalry Charge is made across two Crest hexsides which have no effect. The Cavalry unit pays +1 MP to enter the defender's hex. The odds would be 1-2 (only 50% chance of success). At C the Cavalry unit attacks at 1-1. If the Cavalry survives the charge they will remain on top of the enemy unit and will cut off their retreat. Note that in combat C, the phasing player will earn the Combined Arms shift even if the cavalry unit doesn't survive the charge.

15.0 FORTIFIED PLACES

Fortified Places are of two types. Chateaux are protected by strong walls impervious to field artillery. A simple Improved Position (I.P.) made of timber and stout beams could be thrown together in a few hours. A more elaborate dug-in redoubt could take most of a day.

15.1 General Rule

(15.11) ZOCs: ZOCs extend out of but not into Fortified Places -- adjacent units must attack enemy units in Fortified Places. A unit that enters a Fortified Place adjacent to an enemy combat unit must stop moving.

(15.12) Attacking: Units in Fortified Places are not required to attack, but if they elect to attack, all adjacent enemy units must be attacked by some friendly unit.

(15.13) Advance and Retreat: Units may advance after combat into Fortified Places. Retreat into occupied Fortified Places is allowed (15.21).

(15.14) Cavalry Charges against Fortified Places are prohibited.

(15.15) Combined Arms bonus: When attacking Fortified Places the attacker receives no Combined Arms bonus.

15.2 Chateaux

(15.21) Stacking: A chateau loses its combat effects if the hex contains more than two defending infantry units; or contains any artillery, cavalry or train units. All chateau effects on combat are negated as long as they remain in the hex (4.2, 11.1F, 11.2, 13.33, 14.22). Town effects if any still apply.

(15.22) Defending: If any defending units in a combat occupy a Chateau, "Dr," "Dr2," "Dr3" and "Dr4" results from the CRT are treated as "Shock." This does not apply if the units defending in the Chateau are demoralized, or if a retreat result is obtained on the Shock Table.

(15.23) Bombardment: Artillery units may never bombard into Chateaux. They may make regular adjacent attacks.

15.3 Improved Positions

(15.31) Defending: The strengths of all infantry units defending in a completed I.P. are doubled. If an I. P. is built in a town, all combat effects of I. P. and towns apply.

(15.32) Construction Procedure: The construction hex must contain at least two infantry units that did not move during that Movement Phase. If a town hex only 2 SPs of infantry are needed. Construction is not permitted during Frost, Snow, Snowstorm, or Night March Phase, or in Chateaux or Marsh hexes. Roll on the table below at the end of the Movement Phase. If the infantry leave an I.P. under construction, remove the I.P. marker. After completion the Improved Position marker is never removed (even if unoccupied) and may be used by either side.

(15.33) Construction Table: Roll one d6.

Die roll	Result
1	construction complete (invert marker)
2-6	Under Construction -- roll again next turn. An I.P. under construction has no effect.

16.0 VEDETTES

Each Vedette is a regiment of around 500 men, broken-up into 50-man patrols that fan-out to cover a wide area. These fast-moving patrols were used to screen an army against enemy reconnaissance, to perform their own reconnaissance, and to protect the flanks of combat units.

16.1 Vedette Breakdown and Reassembly

A Light Cavalry unit may generate a number of Vedette (scout) units equal to its vedette number (1.42).

(16.11) Creating Vedettes: During the Reorganization Segment (only), any full-strength Light Cavalry (LC) unit may bring its corresponding Vedette units onto the map. Each full-strength LC parent unit has a number (in a circle), to indicate the number of Vedettes provided for that unit. The Phasing Player removes the LC unit from the map and replaces it with the Vedettes. The LC unit is then placed in the Full Strength Holding Box. Vedettes may move in the turn they are created. Reduced-strength units may not create Vedettes.

EXAMPLE: Marulaz's cavalry brigade has a "4" in a circle. It contains four Vedettes with a corresponding designation.

(16.12) Reassembling Light Cavalry Units: To recombine Vedettes into an LC unit, just pay the regular +1 MP cost to stack. Remove the stacked Vedettes immediately if the stack is not in an EZOC and replace them with the parent unit. The parent unit may continue moving, expending the Vedettes' remaining MPs, in command if any of its Vedettes were in command. The Vedettes of any LC unit that contains 4 or more Vedettes may stack for immediate reassembly.

NOTE: Vedette unit I.D. may be ignored. The proper number of Vedettes may combine freely to reassemble any available LC unit.

(16.13) Creating Vedettes from Mixed Type Units: Full strength Infantry units with a Vedette number may also create Vedettes during the Reorganization Segment. Flip the counter to its reduced strength side, then deploy the Vedette(s) to the same hex. Such Mixed Type units may flip back to full strength by stacking with the same number of friendly Vedettes (not in an EZOC) and removing the Vedettes from the map during the Movement Phase.

(16.14) Corps Affiliation of Vedettes [Optional Rule]: A Vedette may not be used to reassemble a unit from a different formation; only units from its assigned formation.

16.2 Properties of Vedettes

(16.21) Movement: Vedettes move like Cavalry and must be in Command or pass their Initiative die roll to move. Vedettes always pay road costs when on roads but ignore Road March restrictions and are ignored by friendly units in Road March.

(16.22) Stacking: No more than 3 Vedettes may occupy the same hex. EXCEPTION (16.12)

(16.23) Repulse: Vedettes may not attempt Repulse. Repulses against Vedettes always succeed.

(16.24) Combat: Vedettes are non-combat units -- they may not attack or defend. Vedettes do not count for Combined Arms. Vedettes stacked with friendly combat units are subject to the combat result against the stack. Eliminated Vedettes may return to play through Reorganization (22.25).

(16.25) ZOCs and Retreat: Vedettes have ZOCs, but they do not block enemy retreats -- units may retreat into the ZOC of an Enemy Vedette. Retreating enemy units can, if necessary, displace friendly Vedettes.

(16.26) Retreat Before Combat: Any engaged Vedette of either side that is not stacked with a friendly combat unit must Retreat during the Cavalry Retreat Step (10.2) one or two hexes. If it cannot retreat, it is eliminated (12.34). Vedettes cannot prevent enemy Forces from using Retreat Before Combat.

17.0 SUPPLY

17.1 The Supply Segment

The Phasing Player must determine the supply status of each Friendly Combat Unit during the Supply Segment of each Weather/Recovery Turn (23.12, 2.1/B-1). Out of Supply units are marked "Out of Supply" and remain Out of Supply until the next Weather/Recovery Turn.

17.2 Out of Supply Effects

Out of Supply units suffer the effects of Demoralization (21.2), but the effects are not cumulative.

17.3 Automatic Supply

All reinforcements from their turn of entry, and all units on-map at the start of any scenario are automatically in supply until the next Weather/Recovery Turn.

17.4 Supply Lines

(17.41) Tracing a Supply Line: A Combat Unit is in supply if it can trace a Forward Supply Line (17.42), no more than 14 hexes long (not counting the unit's hex), to one of the below:

• Directly to a Friendly Supply Source (17.5); or
• To its own Formation's Baggage Train located on a road or trail hex that has a "Trunk" Line (17.43); or
• If its own Formation's Baggage Train is not in play, or if there is no dedicated baggage train (none provided in the counter mix), it can trace to the nearest Friendly Baggage Train located on a road or trail hex that has a Trunk Line.

NOTE: Supply is tracked by unit, not by stack.

(17.42) Forward Line: The Forward Supply Line (only) may traverse any type of terrain except Lake or River hexsides (unless the hexside is frozen or is crossed by an undamaged bridge or pontoon). Each counts as one hex, maximum 14 hexes.

(17.43) Trunk Lines: A Trunk Line may comprise any number of connected road and/or trail hexes leading to a Friendly Supply Source.

(17.44) Blocking Supply Lines: Forward and Trunk Lines are blocked by the physical presence of enemy combat units and Vedettes. EZOCs do not block Supply Lines.

17.5 Supply Source Hexes

Each side has Supply Source hexes that are indicated on the map by a supply symbol with an encircled code letter.

C = Coalition, A = Austrian, P = Prussian, R = Russian, F = French

18.0 BAGGAGE AND PONTOON TRAINS

There are two types of Train units: Pontoon Trains and Baggage Trains. Baggage Trains are important for Supply; Pontoon Trains place temporary bridges. Pontoon Trains have a train side and a deployed bridge symbol on the reverse.

18.1 Properties Common to Both Trains

(18.11) Movement: Trains move automatically -- they are always in Command. Trains have a Movement Allowance of 4 MPs, paying cavalry costs for movement. They may use Road March (7.5). During Mud, Thunderstorm and Snowstorm turns, Train units Movement Costs are doubled for all types of terrain.

(18.12) Movement Restrictions: Trains have the following movement restrictions:

• may not enter Slope hexes except by Road or Trail.
• may not stack.
• may not enter an EZOC.
• Baggage Trains may not cross rivers (even if frozen) or streams except via Spans and Pontoon bridges.
• Baggage Trains (and Supply Lines) may not cross damaged bridges (but may cross pontoon bridges).

(18.13) Trains and Combat: Trains do not have a Combat Strength and cannot defend or attack. They may not Retreat Before Combat.

(18.14) Trains and ZOCs: Trains have no ZOC. If a Train or deployed pontoon finds itself adjacent to an enemy combat unit it is immediately captured or destroyed. Roll one die:

Die	Pontoon Train is	Baggage Train is
1-3	captured intact (18.35) *	captured (18.23)
4-6	destroyed	destroyed

* If one end of a deployed pontoon is occupied by a unit friendly to the pontoon, a roll of 1 to 3 is considered no effect.

(18.15) Destroyed Trains: Destroyed Trains are removed from play (PEU). They may not be reorganized.

(18.16) Trains and Displacement: Trains may not be displaced. If the train unit's hex is the only one available for the retreating friendly unit, the train is destroyed (PEU), and the retreating unit/stack is eliminated (UAR).

(18.17) Trains and Formations: Baggage Trains may belong to specific formations printed on their counter. Pontoon Trains do not belong to any formation.

18.2 Baggage Trains

Each baggage train represents approximately 100 wagons. A Baggage Train serves to extend a unit's supply line.

(18.21) Supply: Most Baggage Trains belong to specific formations as shown by their Command Designation. Some baggage trains are generic for a given side. Each Corps baggage train can provide supply to all units in its formation within range plus one stack of units from a different formation. However, any formation or individual unit without a dedicated baggage counter (none provided in the counter mix) may trace supply to any friendly baggage train, each stack to a different baggage train.

(18.22) Lost Baggage: If a formation's baggage train is destroyed or off map, only one stack of that formation may trace supply to another friendly baggage train.

(18.23) Captured Baggage Trains: A captured baggage train is destroyed (PEU). Two VPs are awarded to the side that captures a baggage train. If an out of supply unit(s) captures an enemy baggage train, all units of the capturing side adjacent to the train remove their OOS Markers.

18.3 Pontoon Bridges

Pontoon Bridges may be deployed across Stream or River hexsides.

(18.31) Deploying Pontoon Bridges: During the Friendly Movement Phase, the Phasing Player may deploy a Pontoon Bridge by flipping the counter over onto an adjacent hexside so that it is half-way on either hex. It costs no MPs to deploy. No Friendly or Enemy units may cross a Pontoon Bridge until the Friendly Player Turn after it is deployed.

(18.32) Deployment Restrictions: A Pontoon Bridge may not be deployed:

• to extend into an enemy-occupied hex, but may be deployed into an EZOC.
• if either end of the bridge is in a slope hex -- unless there is a road or trail in the hex (18.12).
• in a Snowstorm, or during Frost or Snow.
• if the Pontoon Train is marked in Road March (7.51).

(18.33) Crossing Cost: Combat Units not in Road March pay the following MPs to cross a Pontoon:

• +1 MP to cross a stream
• +2 MPs to cross a river
• +0 MPs to cross if the Pontoon Bridge is deployed at an existing Span or site of another deployed Pontoon.

Units in Road March, Leaders, and Vedettes never pay extra MPs to cross Pontoon Bridges. Trains must pay the additional +2 over river and +1 over stream.

(18.34) Reconfiguring a Pontoon Train: A Pontoon Bridge may be reconfigured back into a Pontoon Train during the Friendly Command Segment simply by flipping the unit over to its Pontoon Train side in either of the two hexes adjacent (you may reform a pontoon train at one end if the other end is in an EZOC). Pontoon Trains must be reconfigured at Step "e" of the Command Segment. Nothing may cross a Pontoon Bridge in the turn it is reconfigured into a Pontoon Train. A Pontoon Train may move in the same turn that it is reconfigured but may not re-deploy until the next turn.

(18.35) Captured Pontoon Trains and Pontoon Bridges: Leaders, Vedettes and Combat Units may freely Move, Advance After Combat, and Retreat across intact enemy Pontoon Bridges. A captured Pontoon Bridge may be reconfigured into a Pontoon Train and used again by the player who captured it.

19.0 REINFORCEMENTS

19.1 General Rule

Reinforcements enter play on the turn and hex specified in the Scenario Information and/or the TRC. Reinforcements enter during the Friendly Command Movement Segment and may move and engage freely on their turn of entry. Reinforcements may be placed under "March Order" on the turn of entry at the Player's discretion (20.3). Reinforcements enter Hidden (8.0). Reinforcements are In Command for the turn of entry and in supply until the next supply check. A light cavalry unit may enter as a combat unit or broken down into Vedettes.

19.2 Stacking and Road March

(19.21) Stacking: When more than one Combat Unit is scheduled to arrive at the same entry hex in the same turn, they may arrive stacked observing the stacking limit. If there are more arriving units than can legally stack in the hex, each subsequent stack enters on the same hex and turn, paying MPs equal to the cost of the hex for itself and for each stack that entered before it.

(19.22) Road March: Reinforcements may instead enter the map using Road March (unstacked) with an empty hex between each arriving unit. In this case the first unit to arrive pays the road MP cost of the first entry hex. Each subsequent unit or stack to enter on the same hex and turn pays one additional MP. In addition, unless otherwise indicated by the scenario, a formation's leader enters with the first stack of his formation, and the formation's baggage train enters at the end after the last arriving unit of the formation.

EXAMPLE: The second stack to enter will pay one extra MP; the third, two additional MPs (19.23).

(19.23) Excess Stacks: Stacks without enough Movement Points to enter must wait off-map until the following turn. The excess stacks of a formation still enter in Command when they arrive.

19.3 Changing Reinforcement Entry

(19.31) Blocked Entry Hexes: If the entry hex is occupied by an enemy or friendly combat unit or an enemy combat unit's ZOC the Reinforcement may instead enter in the hex nearest to the entry hex clear of combat units and EZOCs.

(19.32) Voluntary Delay: Players may voluntarily delay the entry of Reinforcements. However, no other scheduled Reinforcement may enter at this entry hex until the delayed Reinforcements have been brought onto the map (the follow-on reinforcements may enter in the same or subsequent turns). A portion of a Reinforcement force may not be delayed. Either all the units scheduled to arrive at that hex are brought onto the map, or none.

19.4 First Day Reinforcements

Approach to Battle reinforcements enter on the First Day of the game. These units are usually on-map in the Day of Battle Set up.

19.5 Alternate Reinforcements

Alternate Reinforcements are forces that could have intervened. Their arrival depends upon card play. Alternate Reinforcements appear in order of priority listed in the Scenario Information.

20.0 MARCH ORDERS

Orders were carried by orderlies mounted on fast horses, usually overnight, to Officers beyond Command Range.

20.1 General Rule

A March Order allows a Force (defined in the Glossary) to move during each Friendly Command Movement Segment that the order is in effect (including during Night March Phases) regardless of Command Range. All the units under a March Order are considered in command. A Force may receive a March Order if it is:

• a Reinforcement (20.3);
• the one force selected at night (20.4); or
• the one force selected for March Order at the start of play, (once per game) if that side has a Commander on the map.

20.2 March Order Procedure

(20.21) Specify Objective Hex: The Player must secretly specify the Objective Hex on an Orders Slip when the March Order is issued. This objective must be revealed to the Enemy Player at the moment an infantry unit of that Force reaches its objective. The objective may be any town or Bridge hexside on the map. For each Force under a March Order, the Player must write down the name of the Officer or the designation of the individual unit(s) in question. A force may be assigned only one objective at a time. In a multi-hex town any hex in the town can be the objective.

(20.22) March Order Movement Restrictions: The force must move each turn at the speed of the slowest unit in the force, until it reaches its objective or the March Order is removed (20.23). The units under a March Order must take the shortest possible route (in terms of MPs) toward their Objective Hex. A Force given the March Order is not required to use road march. On the turn a Force reaches its objective, it can continue moving to the limit of its Movement Allowance; then the March Order is removed and no longer in effect.

(20.23) Forces Removed from March Orders: A unit is removed from the March Order at the moment:

• it reaches its objective hex (or as near as possible).
• at the owning player's option, if it is placed in the ZOC of an Enemy unit or vedette.
• at the Player's option, if the force is placed in Command by a Leader during any friendly Command Phase. An officer who makes his initiative may opt out of a March Order.

NOTE: If a Commander places an individual unit in command, it does not remove the March Order for the rest of the Formation.

The M.O. endures until the last unit reaches the destination or is removed. When a unit comes out of a March Order it is Demoralized for the rest of the Player Turn. Units that reach a March Order destination are removed from the M.O. Other units under the March Order can either continue to use the M.O. or they can be removed. The units removed from a March Order can freely use their remaining MA that turn, without being constrained by the former M.O.

(20.24) Pre-Programmed March Orders (Card Play only): A force under a pre-programmed March Order at the start of the game that is subject to a Late Start Mode card cannot be removed from the March Order until its Leader awakes. Until then the Leader moves with the units of his formation.

20.3 March Orders to Reinforcements

A Reinforcement Force may be placed under a March Order (or several different March Orders) on the turn of its map entry, even if its arrival is delayed indefinitely by the Player. The number of reinforcement forces that may be placed under a March Order on a turn is limited only by the number of reinforcement forces arriving on that turn.

20.4 March Orders at Night

(20.41) Moving Units under March Orders at Night: The Movement Allowance of a Force under March Order at night is 2/3 MPs (inf/cav). Forces under a March Order are the only forces which can move during the Night March Phases.

(20.42) Changing March Orders at Night: One on-map stack or formation may be given a March Order during the Night March Order Dispatch Phase, regardless of command range restrictions. Units need not be in command for a night March Order. This March Order takes effect with the first daylight turn of the next day (2.2B). Alternatively, a player may change the objective hex in a March Order of any one of his forces, but this counts as the "one" March Order allowed.

20.5 General Retreat March Order

(20.51) The General Retreat March order differs from a regular March Order in the following ways:

• All friendly leaders and units are considered to have the order -- including out of command forces;
• The Objective Hex for a given unit is the closest friendly Supply Source under friendly control, tracing the line as allowed by the rules of supply (17.41), or may be a hex specified in the Scenario Instructions;
• The order may be issued during the friendly Command Segment of any day Turn, or at the beginning of the March Order Dispatch Phase (Night AM turns) and takes effect immediately.
• The order may be cancelled at the owning player's option, after being in effect for one turn, for any undemoralized force(s) in Command and these may maneuver freely.
• Add one (+1) to the die roll for Reorganization of Demoralized forces on the turn the General Retreat is ordered.
• Reinforcements enter normally.
• The order may be issued only once per game, unless using the cards; a new General Retreat may be issued for each card.
• Units must remain in General Retreat March Order for at least 1 turn, unless they move adjacent to the enemy.
• All units move at the speed of the slowest unit in their force (20.22). EXCEPTION: Undemoralized units passing an Initiative check may opt-out of the General Retreat March Order and freely maneuver (having already passed Initiative) in the following Initiative Movement Segment.
• The text of the General Retreat Card (No. 9) is a part of the General Retreat rule; units may disengage on the turn played.

(20.52) Exiting the Map: When your units under a General Retreat March Order actually reach the mapedge hexes that are the objective(s) of the order, you can exit all, some or none. For units that have reached the objective that will remain on the map, the order is cancelled.

21.0 DEMORALIZATION

Units may become demoralized (1) if their formation reaches its Demoralization Level due to losses, (2) if the unit is Out of Supply (17.2), or (3) if it leaves March Orders (20.23).

21.1 Demoralization Levels

Each player has a Casualty Record Track to record Friendly losses. When the first Friendly Combat Unit of a Formation is eliminated, this unit becomes the "Casualty Level Marker" for its Formation (21.3). As further units are eliminated, the Owning Player adjusts this marker to reflect strength points lost by moving it a number of spaces on the track equal to each eliminated unit's full Combat Strength. A Formation becomes Demoralized at the instant its Casualty Level marker reaches or exceeds its Demoralization Level (the space printed with its Command Designation on the Casualty Track). Place a "Demoralized" marker on the formation's Officer.

21.2 Demoralization Effects

Demoralization has the following effects:

Initiative: One is subtracted from the Initiative rating of Demoralized Officers and Combat Units any time that their Initiative Rating is referenced (Exception: Recovery, 22.12).

Movement: Demoralization has no effect on Movement -- Leaders and Combat Units may use Road March and may be given March Orders.

Combat: Demoralized Units may not Advance after Combat. Demoralized cavalry may not charge. Demoralized units in Chateau hexes do not receive the benefits listed in 15.22. Remove any Demoralization from a unit when it is eliminated.

Bombardment: Demoralized Units may retreat one hex upon receiving 1R results (13.38).

Reorganization: The Phasing Player must roll for each Combat Unit in a demoralized formation (22.23-3). For a Demoralized Formation, if this die-roll is a "5" or "6" the unit is permanently eliminated (PEU). Add 1 to the die if a General Retreat will be issued in the next Movement Phase.

EXCEPTION: The French player's minor ally troops that are part of a Demoralized Formation must instead pass a regular Initiative check. If this fails the unit is PEU (also 20.51-4). French minor allies include the Dutch, Saxons, Swiss, Wurttembergers, Bavarians, Westphalians, Badeners, Hessians, Italians, and all others except French and Poles.

21.3 Rallying from Demoralization

When an eliminated Combat Unit is Reorganized (22.2), that Formation's Casualty Level marker is reduced by an amount equal to the unit's full (not reduced) Combat Strength. If the unit is eliminated again later then the Casualty Level Marker should be increased by that same amount (the unit's Full Combat Strength). The moment the Casualty Marker for that Formation moves below its Demoralization Level, the Formation is recovered from Demoralization and the Demoralized Marker is removed from play. Once all other units in a Formation have recovered, the unit that was used as the Casualty Level Marker (21.1) is eligible to be reorganized.

NOTE: As long as a unit survives at Reduced Strength, the difference between its full and reduced Strength does not count for Demoralization purposes or Victory Points.

21.4 Demoralization and Supply

Combat Units that are Out of Supply suffer Demoralization Effects. The out-of-supply Combat Units receive an Out of Supply Marker, and rally from Demoralization on the turn in which their Supply Line is reestablished. There is no additional effect upon out-of-supply units that become demoralized due to combat losses.

21.5 Demoralization and March Orders

At the end of a friendly Player-Turn, without the need of a die roll, remove Demoralized Markers from all units that were demoralized when they left March Orders that Player-Turn.

NOTE: Formations with fewer than three units present at the battle can only be Demoralized by lack of Supply.

22.0 RECOVERY AND REORGANIZATION

Eliminated units may be reorganized at reduced strength.

22.1 Recovery

(22.11) General Rule: Recovery refers to the transfer of a Combat Unit from the Awaiting Recovery box (UAR) to the Recovered section.

(22.12) The Recovery Segment: Each turn the Weather is checked, both Player Turns will include a Recovery Segment (2.1/B2). During the Recovery Segment, the Phasing Player may make an Initiative Check for each unit in the Awaiting Recovery box. The Initiative die roll is successful if less than or equal to the Initiative Rating printed on the unit counter.

• IF SUCCESSFUL: The unit counter is flipped over to its reduced side and moved into the Recovered Section.
• IF UNSUCCESSFUL: The unit remains in the Awaiting Recovery box. Roll again in the next Recovery Segment.

(22.13) Automatic Night Recovery: At the beginning of the Friendly Recovery Segment of the Night AM Turn, the Phasing Player transfers ALL Combat Units still Awaiting Recovery to the Recovered Section at their reduced strength.

22.2 Reorganization

(22.21) General Rule: Reorganization refers to the return of Combat Units (at reduced strength) from the Recovered section of the UAR to the map.

(22.22) Procedure: Reorganization occurs in the Friendly Reorganization Segment. All units in the Recovered Section of the UAR may be placed on the map provided the necessary Leaders are available to bring them all on. Each eligible Leader may bring on two combat units (plus up to 3 vedettes) in the recovered section. The units are placed in the hex containing the Leader. If placing reorganized Combat Units in the Leader's hex would violate the Stacking Limit, the units already there may be Displaced.

(22.23) Restrictions and Penalties: Reorganization can take place in any terrain under the following restrictions:

• Leaders in an EZOC may not be used for Reorganization.
• Officers can only Reorganize units of their Formation. A Commander may Reorganize units of any Friendly Formation whose Officer is within the Commander's Command Radius.
• Units that are part of a Demoralized Formation risk elimination when they are Reorganized (21.2).

(22.24) Officers and Reorganization: An Officer does not have to be in Command in order to Reorganize. Each Officer that attempts Reorganization is marked with an Out of Command marker until the friendly Command Segment of the next Game-Turn. EXCEPTION: Reorganizing Vedettes does not require an Out of Command Marker. Officers so marked may not be part of the Chain of Command for the remainder of that turn, even if Reorganization failed. Commanders and Commander-Officers are not OOC when Reorganizing.

(22.25) Vedettes and Reorganization: If a Vedette is eliminated in combat (16.24), place it in the Unrecovered Section ("Awaiting Recovery") of the UAR. If a Vedette is eliminated during Reconnaissance it goes immediately to the section of the UAR specified on the Reconnaissance Table. Reduced-strength LC units don't have a vedette number. They cannot deploy a vedette once reduced.

23.0 WEATHER

23.1 Procedure

(23.11) Weather Condition Die Roll: The first player starts each day with a die roll on the Weather Table (tailored to the battle being played), to determine the initial Weather. The resulting Weather takes effect immediately.

(23.12) Weather Duration Die Roll: Roll again on "Change in the Weather" and add the result to the original Weather Die Roll to determine the number of turns that weather condition will remain in effect. Repeat these two die rolls each time the weather changes. (In some games duration is specified.)

(23.13) Effects of Weather: As indicated on the table below, the possible effects of weather are as follows:

• LOS Reduced: Line of Sight reduced to 1 hex. Units may see into adjacent hexes only.
• Bombardment: Prohibited. -2 DRM = Apply a -2 DRM to all artillery bombardment die rolls during Mud.
• Deploy Pontoons: No = may not be deployed
• Construct I.P.: Improved Positions may not be constructed.
• Charge Rolls: +1 DRM to all Cavalry Charge rolls.
• Rivers, Lakes: frozen and treated as Stream hexsides.
• Strength Reduced (rounding down): when attacking and defending. Artillery strengths are reduced for adjacent combat (only).
• Movement Cost: MPs doubled for Train and Artillery units.
• Ar*/Dr* Combat Results: Treat as Sk (Shock) results.

(23.14) Weather and LOS at Night: If the Last daylight Game-Turn was Thunderstorm or Mud, the night weather is Mud; otherwise Fair weather applies. At Night the LOS is reduced to one hex.

(23.15) Fire: Units can Move, Retreat, Repulse, and Road March through a Fire hex, without stopping. Command Range may extend through a Fire hex. The occurrence of Rain and Thunderstorms causes Fire to cease immediately.

(23.16) Thunderstorms: Thunderstorms only last for the first hour after the die roll. The next two turns are Rain plus Mud.

Weather Effects Table (a blank cell = no effect)

WX Condition	LOS	Bombardment	Deploy Pontoons	Construct I.P.	Charge Rolls	Rivers, Lakes	Strength Reduced	Movement Cost	Ar*/Dr* Result
Snow	Adjacent	Prohibited	No	No	+1 DRM	Frozen
Snowstorm	Adjacent	Prohibited	No	No	+1 DRM	Frozen	Inf x 0.75	Train, Art x2	Shock

Weather Conditions (WX) vary from game to game, and are not cumulative with Terrain Effects; use the worst that applies. DRM: Die Roll Modifier

25.0 SCENARIOS

On 5 December 1812, with his Empire collapsing around him, Bonaparte left behind the tattered remnants of the Grande Armee, hurrying by sledge, at times incognito, on a journey of 2,000 kilometers. He arrived in Paris on 18 December. On 9 January 1813 he mobilized 84 battalions of National Guards Cohorts and issued another call-up of conscripts on the 11th, including 16-year-olds called up one year early. As long as he held Germany, the great central position of the geopolitical chessboard, victory was still within grasp. Underestimating the power of German nationalism and overestimating French war-making capacity; too impatient for the slow give-and-take of diplomacy; he dreamed of a bold military masterstroke to recover his lost prestige and bring Europe to heel once more. After sixteen weeks, he led into Saxony a new army of 210,000 men, desperately short of cavalry, veteran infantry, and officers, initiating a series of battles on the approaches to Leipzig, aiming to cut-off the enemy from their bases in Berlin and Silesia by seizing Dresden. Unbeknownst to him, the main Russian Army of General Aleksander Tormassov had arrived with its massive guard batteries to intercept his marching columns west of Leipzig, near the villages of Lutzen and Gross Gorschen.

25.1 The Scenario Information

Napoleon's Resurgence includes five Battle Games, two Mini-Campaigns, and one Campaign Game. Players select a game to play, referring to the Initial Set-up Cards (25.21) and the appropriate rules section, listed below:

• 27.0 LUTZEN, 2 May
• 28.0 BAUTZEN, 20-21 May
• 29.0 LUCKAU, 4 Jun; AtB HOYERSWERDA, 28 May
• 30.0 BONUS BATTLE KONIGSWARTHA, 19 May
• 31.0 CAMPAIGN GAME

25.11 One and Two-Day Scenarios: Players are encouraged to begin by playing any of the Day of Battle Games. The Lutzen and Bautzen Mini-campaign options begin a day earlier and last 2 days or more.

25.12 Game Equipment Required per Battle:

• one or more map sections.
• a unique selection of counters (25.21). Units with a yellow initiative box (25.33) appear at Bautzen and not at Lutzen (EXCEPTION: 27.2.). Units that appear only at Lutzen and those that appear at both main battles have the regular initiative box color for their nationality.
• a Turn Record Card for each day. The Game-Turn marker is placed on the designated Start turn.
• Casualty Record Tracks, Weather-Reorganization displays for both players, and Combat Tables.
• The Series Rules. These may be modified in the rules below.
• Two Player decks of 50 cards each (optional). The card rules (24.0) are included in a separate 4-page folder. Card scenario info (25.42-25.44).
• Scenario parameters and list of cards to be removed from decks (25.43) -- separate sheet to consult at set-up.
• Orders Slips, Victory Worksheet, charts & tables folder.

25.13 French Nationalities: The French Player controls units of France (blue), Poland (crimson), Baden (feldgrau), Hesse-Rheinbund (gray), Italy (white with green stripe), Saxony (chamois with white), Bavaria (green), Wurttemberg (dark blue), and Portugal (wine red).

25.14 Coalition Nationalities: The Coalition Player controls Russian and Prussian units. Guriev's LC brigade includes some Polish lancers, hence the red unit type symbol (however the only vedettes provided for this unit are Russian Cossacks).

25.15 French Player Units with Mixed Nationalities: Secondary nationality is indicated by a color inside the unit type symbol. EXAMPLE: Michel's Bde of the French Imperial Guard has a green unit type symbol and a green stripe below (Italian). The blue upper field indicates Guard membership (this unit contains no French troops). A unit with OG and YG regiments is treated as OG. A unit with "YG" as a divisional designation may stack with "OG" using divisional integrity.

25.16 French Vedettes

Parent	Corps	Vedettes
23rd LC Bde	III	1 French, 2 Badener
28th LC Bde	XI	1 Italian, 1 Wurzburger
29th LC Bde	XII	1 Bavarian, 1 Westphalian-Hessian
1st LC Div	IC	3 French
2nd LC Div	IIC	1 French, 1 Polish
3rd LC Div	IC	1 French, 1 Italian, 1 Portuguese
4th LC Div	IIC	1 French, 1 French-Polish, 1 Dutch

25.17 Vedette Orphans: Their respective Corps officers act as parent unit to the three orphan vedettes below -- 16.1 doesn't apply to them.

Officer	Vedettes
Mortier (Gde)	1 Italian
Reynier (VII)	1 Saxon
Oudinot (XII)	1 Bavarian (Bautzen only)

25.18 Commanders: Prussian commanders may not place officers or units of the Russian Army in command nor give them a March Order. Russian Commanders may not place officers or units of the Prussian Army in command nor give them a March Order. EXCEPTION: Wittgenstein. The overall Coalition Commander-in-Chief, Wittgenstein may command or give a March Order to any friendly units or officers.

• All Prussian Corps contain some Russian units. (I Corps has only Ztn./14,33). Each Officer commands all units of his own Corps be they Russian or Prussian.
• Non-Cooperation: Units of the Prussian and Russian armies cannot stack together or combine in an attack. (This includes Kleist's and Bulow's mixed corps also.) If units from both nationalities are adjacent to a single French stack, only one of them can be subject to 10.31. The other stacks remain "in contact."
• General Retreat declaration may apply to either the Prussian or the Russian army, or both, at the Coalition player's option. The Coalition Player may declare General Retreat once for the Prussian army and once for the Russian army per battle game.
• Marshal Bessieres commanded the French Guard Cavalry during the Lutzen AtB. He was killed on May 1. Frederic Walther commanded the GC thereafter. Use Walther as a replacement for Bessieres (5.52).
• Prince Eugene commanded the French Army of the Elbe at Lutzen (V, XI, VII, IC), but is free to command any friendly forces. He left for Italy on 11 May.

25.19 Prussian Mega-Brigades: The Prussian Army established new multi-unit "Brigades" in 1813, for example, Roeder, Klux, and Zieten (Rdr, Klx, Ztn) in I Corps; treat as "divisions" for stacking purposes (3.22).

25.2 Setting Up the Scenarios

All units set-up in supply as Hidden Forces (8.2). Unstacked units may start in Road March at the owning player's option.

25.21 Initial Set-up: The First Player (26.6) sets up first. The units to set-up are listed on the Initial Set-up Cards. Each unit and leader has a separate line showing the 4-digit location at the start of each battle (25.22). This may be modified by Mode Cards (24.5). The units to set-up at reduced strength are listed with an (R). They are treated as having been eliminated and already reorganized. "Composition" is for historical interest.

25.22 Hex Numbers: The hex numbers on the Initial Set-up cards show where units are located at the start of the scenario. The map i.d. letters may precede the hex number. Place all combat units and leaders on the map in the hexes specified. If there is no hex number listed, the unit may arrive as a regular reinforcement; or, may be ALT (25.51). The second player may adjust the placement of any one friendly unit by one hex prior to the first player turn (not in an EZOC). The set-up may include overstacked hexes. Make sure to observe stacking limits by the end of your first move.

25.23 Reinforcements (19.1, 25.5): All reinforcements are in supply upon entry. Reinforcement arrival is listed on the Turn Record Card as modified by the play of Arrival Cards (24.7). If the Corps designation follows an officer's name, all units of that corps arrive on the same turn (25.53). If a division is listed, all units of that division arrive on the same turn.

25.24 Pontoon Trains: Availability of pontoon trains is specified in the scenario information. Available Pontoon Trains must be set-up within [7] hexes of any friendly Commander unless otherwise specified.

25.25 Baggage Trains: All Baggage Trains set-up within [7] hexes of any unit in their respective formation or enter as reinforcements (25.26), unless otherwise specified. Each corps formation has its own dedicated baggage train. EXCEPTION: Small formations of fewer than 4 units have no dedicated baggage train (18.21).

25.26 Train Reinforcements:

• A train mentioned in the reinforcement schedule enters as specified.
• If an entire formation is listed as a reinforcement on a single turn, the baggage and pontoon trains arrive after all combat units.
• If part of the formation sets-up on map and part arrives later as a reinforcement, trains set up or arrive with either group at owner's choice.

25.27 Leaders: Leaders set-up in the hex specified, or, at owning player's choice, Commanders may set-up with any Friendly force -- Officers in any hex containing units of their Formation -- in supply and not in an EZOC. Leaders ignore Mode Cards unless specifically mentioned. Leader cards may be played as "inapplicable" (24.35) prior to the named leader's arrival.

25.28 Vedettes: Vedettes may be deployed at the beginning of a scenario at the owning player's choice, anywhere within three hexes of their parent unit (not in an EZOC). The second player deploys all available vedettes first, then the first player deploys his vedettes.

25.29 Commander-Officers: French Marshal Ney (28.34), General Oudinot, Prussian Marshal Blucher and General Bulow, are Commander-Officers (5.23).

25.33 Yellow Initiative Box: Units that took significant losses at Lutzen have a separate counter for Bautzen with the same name followed by the code "-b," a different strength, and a yellow Initiative box. These units appear at Bautzen (and Konigswartha) only. The "-b" unit replaces the other counter with the same name. Example: Chasserau's brigade in Souham's 8th Division. New units that arrived as reinforcements between battles have the yellow box but no "-b," indicating the only version of that unit (see also 27.2, Coalition #4).

25.34 Brigades with two parts: French artillery of III and V Corps are split into Foot and Horse ("-b") batteries; both units appear together at Bautzen. The brigades of I/Jagow and I/Jagow-c; I/Pirch and I/Pirch-b; II/Horn and II/Horn-b; are not different versions but different echelons of a single large brigade that appear together. The unit size symbol [X] indicates that these ad hoc units are part of the larger mega-brigade.

25.35 Utility Markers: Utility Markers include Fire/Ruins, Square, Out of Supply, Overrun, Control, Repaired Bridge, I.P., Road March, Out of Command, In Command, and Repulse. Markers are explained below, on the cards, or in the Series Rules Folder.

• Square Marker: Place the square marker on any infantry unit that was successfully charged to denote increased movement costs (see also 27.67).
• Fire/Ruins: See Fire Card No.7. Fire goes out if Rain or Thunderstorm occurs -- flip Marker to RUINS.

25.4 Scenario Information Detail

The following information is provided in 27.0-31.0.

25.41 Duration: The game ends with the completion of the last turn specified under "Duration," or may end immediately when all the formations of one side are demoralized or have exited. The Level of Victory still has to be determined (26.2).

25.42 Mode Cards at Start: The number of Mode Cards to draw on the first turn only.

25.43 Remove Cards from Deck: Before play begins remove specified number of cards from each Player's card deck (24.2). See separate list per Battle. On the reverse side is Scenario Parameters. This sheet is a summary of info you need to play all the battles.

25.44 Bonus Cards: On the second turn of each battle, each player draws a number of Bonus Cards specified for that battle. If playing the campaign, at the end of each battle, each player draws a number of Bonus cards determined by victory level (26.5).

25.45 Alternate Reinforcements (ALT): (25.51)

25.46 Special Rules: Rules that apply to this battle; at start conditions and map area in play. Saxony-Specific Rules (25.7, 25.8) apply to all battles.

25.47 Victory Conditions: Victory Points (26.1) are awarded for control of places on the map. Certain VP locations that do not count in a battle may be listed.

25.5 Reinforcements

Reinforcement units (19.1) are placed on the Turn Record Cards, and enter at the mapedge hex specified on the TRC. All units of the formation enter on the same turn unless listed separately, subject to card play, depending on size of formation for multi-hex forces (25.53). When a Division is listed, all units with that divisional designation arrive on the same turn (25.23).

25.51 Alternate Reinforcements (ALT): ALT Reinforcements are listed in the Scenario Information by group number. One numbered group of friendly ALT Reinforcements appears for each Alternate Reinforcement Card (No. 29) played. ALT groups must appear in order of priority starting with #1. Each time an ALT group enters, the enabling card is removed from play after being scored (26.16). ALT Reinforcements enter at a reinforcement entry hex or Supply Source of the same army. If they are accelerated reinforcements they arrive earlier than listed on the TRC.

If not using the cards -- roll two d6 during the Command Movement Segment of every Recovery Turn: on a result of 2 or 3, you may enter the next group of Alternate Reinforcements listed; if you roll a 4-12, there is no result. If you roll a 2 or 3, your opponent can roll 2d6 to delay by one turn the alternate reinforcements; the delay is successful if he also rolls a 2 or 3.

25.52 Hidden Reinforcements: All Reinforcements enter the map as Hidden Forces. Vedettes may enter instead of their parent LC units.

25.53 Deploying Off-Map Reinforcements: For multi-hex forces, prior to entry, all additional stacks after the first are deployed off-map in a column (see Glossary), beginning with the leader at the front of the column, and ending with the baggage (25.26). Reinforcements can enter in Road March at the owning player's option.

25.6 March Orders

One March Order per player may be issued prior to the start of any scenario, to any friendly force in play on the map, if a Commander of the appropriate army is on-map at the start of the scenario (20.1). Special Rules may alter the number of March Orders at start.

25.61 Pre-Programmed March Orders: The Special Rules may specify mandatory "pre-programmed" March Orders. These orders represent historical conditions limiting the leaders' freedom of action. They can be removed according to 20.23. One March Order can be changed at night (20.4, 2.2B).

25.62 Late Start Mode Card: If you want to change a pre-programmed March Order and you drew a Late Start Mode Card, the leader will need to awaken first. A "sleeping" leader moves with his units. NOTE: Any kind of SNAFU can be covered by the term "asleep."

25.7 Saxony-Specific Rules

25.71 Weather: Roll 2d6 to determine Weather on the first turn of each day. The same die result also indicates the next Recovery Turn. Check weather each Recovery Turn. Place the "Weather?" Marker on the TRC at the next Recovery Turn. Weather stays the same between checks. During Thunderstorm weather all Fords are unusable for all combat units.

25.72 Carp Ponds (Teiche): Infantry and cavalry in Road March (7.5), leaders and vedettes may traverse the trails on the dykes between ponds. EXAMPLE: For movement and combat purposes, consider a hex like KON 1128 a land hex surrounded by lake hexsides. A Dr out of the hex along trails is allowed. Trains, Arty and HArt may not enter. ZOC effects are the same as bridges. ZOCs do not extend into or out of a pond hex. (Reinforcements may not enter at Kon 0134 or 0534.)

25.73 Release of French Imperial Guard [Optional]: Units of the OG, YG, GC and Gde Res may not voluntarily engage prior to Coalition General Retreat declaration, or 4PM on the day of battle, whichever occurs first. EXCEPTION: one whole YG Div (either 1YG or 2YG) may engage freely at any time. Applies to LUT and BAU.

25.8 Cossacks

Cossacks ("Cos") are a type of vedette (16.0) treated as any other vedette, and are subject to the following rule.

25.81 Cossack Initiative: Cossack vedettes cannot be placed in command (16.21). They move by Initiative only. Remove the Cossack vedette from play immediately (PEU) when it obtains an Initiative die roll of 6.

25.9 Team Play

In a multi-player game, one player assumes the role of Napoleon; Coalition Players represent Wittgenstein and Blucher. The Commanders control their historically associated formations (25.18). Blucher controls Prussian Corps I-IV (including their Russian contingents), and Wittgenstein controls the Russian Corps.

25.91 Communication Among Players: Players may not freely discuss their plans, tactics or strategy unless the Commanders they represent are within four hexes of each other.

25.92 Aides-de-Camp: Written notes may be passed between Coalition players. One message may be dispatched per player every friendly Command Phase.

25.93 Objective Hexes: Only place names, not hex numbers, may be specified as objective hexes.

25.94 Arrival Time: Written notes are dispatched during the Friendly Command Phase and are received during a later Friendly Command Phase. Travel time between leaders -- three complete Turns.

25.95 Victory: After the winning side is determined, each of the Players compares the total VPs that he obtained in categories c-d-f-g-h only (26.11), or VP hexes his units were first to occupy for his side. The player with the highest VP score becomes C-in-C in the next battle, with choice of which side to play and choice of teammate.

26.0 VICTORY CONDITIONS

Victory is awarded to the player or team with the most Victory Points at the end of the game. In the Campaign Game, the level of Victory is according to the ratio of each side's Victory Point total (26.23).

26.1 Victory Point Awards

Victory Points are awarded for the conditions listed (26.11). Calculate victory point awards at the end of each battle or at the end of each day in the Campaign.

26.11 Determine VP Totals: VPs are awarded for:

• a) Enemy Combat SPs Eliminated (26.12)
• b) Enemy Formations Demoralized (26.13).
• c) Captured Enemy Baggage Trains (26.14).
• d) Controlled Hexes (26.15)
• e) Total VPs of cards you have played (26.16)
• f) Leaders in a town through the Night (26.17)
• g) Captured Commanders (26.18)
• h) Units that have exited the map (26.31)

26.12 Total Combat SPs Eliminated: At the end of the battle, total the losses in SPs by both sides, including the total SPs in the PEU, Unrecovered and Recovered boxes. Don't count SPs in the Full Strength Holding Box. Subtract the smaller from the larger total. The side losing the least SPs receives VPs as follows:

Difference	VP Award	Difference	VPs
0-4	0 VPs	20-24	4 VPs
5-9	1 VP	25-29	5 VPs
10-14	2 VPs	30-34	6 VPs
15-19	3 VPs	35-39	7 VPs, etc.

When calculating Total Combat Strength count the unit's Full Strength. EXCEPTION: For units starting the scenario at Reduced Strength, use reduced strength.

26.13 Enemy Formations Demoralized: Each Player receives [4] VPs for each enemy Formation demoralized at the end of play. EXCEPTION: only [2] VP are awarded for demoralization when the demoralization level of the formation is 4 or less.

26.14 Captured Baggage Trains: The Player receives [2] VPs for each Enemy Baggage Train captured (18.14).

26.15 Control: The Player receives [4] VPs for each Enemy Supply Source he controls. Each Player also receives the number of Victory Points printed on the map for each VP Hex he controls. EXCEPTIONS:

• The Scenario Victory Conditions may specify certain VP hexes that do not apply in that scenario.

To be considered in control of a hex, a friendly Combat Unit in Supply must physically occupy the hex, or be the last Combat Unit to have occupied or moved through it. An occupying unit that is Out of Supply at the moment it enters or moves through a hex does not control that hex. To indicate the control of a hex, place a control marker of the proper side in the hex.

26.16 Cards: Add or subtract the VP Value of each card you have played during the game, if that card's instruction was actually used, as specified on the card.

26.17 Leader in a town throughout the Night: Each player receives 1 VP for every friendly Leader in a town or a Chateau who will remain there until 7 AM.

26.18 Capture of Commanders: A player receives a number of VPs for each captured Commander equal to that Commander's Command Rating.

26.2 Levels of Victory

At the end of the battle the total of Victory Points achieved by the two players is compared as a ratio (French: Coalition), which determines the level of victory -- Marginal, Tactical, or Strategic. Divide the French by the Coalition VP total.

26.21 Find VP Ratio:

Ratio	Result
1 to 2 or less	Coalition Strategic
1 to 1.5 / 1 to 1.99	Coalition Tactical
1 to 1 / 1 to 1.49	Coalition Marginal
1.01 to 1 / 1.5 to 1	French Marginal
1.51 to 1 / 2 to 1	French Tactical
More than 2 to 1	French Strategic

26.22 When Total of VPs is Zero: Convert scores of "0" to "1" in order to calculate VP ratio.

26.23 Levels of Victory in the Campaign Game: In the Campaign Game at the end of each battle, the winner, Level of Victory and total VPs for each side must be recorded (26.5).

26.3 Exiting the Map

Either Player may choose to exit his units by playing the "General Retreat" card once per day. On the Coalition side, a General Retreat Order can be given to: all forces; only the Prussian Corps; only the Russian Corps; or only Barclay's Army at Bautzen (AG, L, and Res).

If not using the cards, the Phasing Player may still declare one General Retreat per Army (20.5).

Individual units in a General Retreat move to the closest Exit Hex of the appropriate army (20.51). Friendly units may exit where an enemy unit previously exited. The exiting unit pays the Movement cost of the hex it is leaving once again. Exited leaders may not reorganize units. Units that exit the map cannot be returned to play and are not considered eliminated for Victory Point purposes. Units forced to retreat off the map are eliminated (12.34).

26.31 VP Award: If he makes a "General Retreat" the Exiting Player receives [4 VP] for exiting each friendly baggage train, and [1 VP] for every five combat units exited. EXCEPTION: The total number of VPs from exiting units may not exceed the total number of enemy combat units PEU and UAR. EXAMPLE: The Coalition player exits 25 units. The French lost 5 units, so all five VPs are counted.

26.32 Exit by March Order: A force may be assigned a March Order to exit the map.

26.33 No Award: Even if you do not declare "General Retreat," you may choose at any time to exit individual units to prevent their destruction, but unless they exit at an appropriate Supply Source, you receive no VPs, and the exited units cannot be returned to play.

26.4 Zero Loss Award

The Player receives [2] VPs if the total of eliminated SPs in the Friendly PEU + Unrecovered + Recovered boxes at the end of the game is zero.

26.5 Bonus Cards in the Campaign Game

The campaign is comprised of the Lutzen DoB and the Bautzen AtB or Mini-Campaign. Score the Level of Victory at the end of each individual battle. Each victory will allow the winning player to draw "Bonus Cards" from his card deck at the battles that follow. At the beginning of every day, when players draw a new hand of cards, the loser draws cards equal to his previous day's hand. The winner draws the number of cards stipulated by his victory level then discards down to his previous day's hand size +1. The winner's hand should always be equal to or greater than his original hand +1. Shuffle all discards back into the deck.

• Each Strategic Victory: 3 Bonus Cards per battle
• Each Tactical Victory: 2 Bonus Cards per battle
• Each Marginal Victory: 1 Bonus Card per battle

Each player receives a minimum of 2 Bonus Cards.

EXAMPLE: The French Player wins a Tactical Victory at Lutzen, and a Marginal Victory at Bautzen. He would draw three "Bonus Cards" (plus the regular cards) on turn two of Hoyerswerda. The Coalition Player would draw the minimum of 2 Bonus Cards each day.

26.6 First Player

The first player sets-up first. First Player designation varies depending on the battle (27.16, 28.16 etc.).

27.0 THE BATTLE OF LUTZEN

Struggle for the Four Villages, 2 May 1813

27.1 Introduction

Wittgenstein concentrated his army for an attack on Marshal Ney's 39,318 French troops camped between Lutzen and Gross Gorschen. (Ney's 39th Division is not included in the total.) Faulty planning led to delays in crossing the Elster and the attacking columns were not in position until just before noon on May 2nd. Miloradovich's Russian corps remained inactive only a few kilometers away. Ney's III Corps would have to delay the enemy while Eugene's Army of the Elbe swung around to attack their right flank. Ney's recruits held out long enough for Napoleon to arrive with the Guard. Late in the afternoon, with Macdonald threatening to turn his right, Wittgenstein was forced to commit his reserves while more French were still coming. Once the whole French army was up, the outcome could be in doubt no longer. Wittgenstein's army held on until nightfall, losing 13,500 men during the battle; the French lost 19,194 men, most of the from Ney's Corps.

Wittgenstein is outnumbered and out-positioned. He is wise to fight a defensive battle. The chances of a General Retreat are great. One thing will save the allies during the retreat: cavalry dominance. Victory for them likely requires holding Gross Gorschen on the last turn.

27.11 Duration: 2 May, 12 Noon-8 PM (9 turns).

27.12 Mode Cards at Start: 2 French, 2 Coalition.

27.13 Bonus Cards, Turn 2: French 2, Coalition 2.

27.14 Pontoon Trains: Wittgenstein, 1; French, none

27.15 Counter Mix: (25.3).

27.16 First Player: The Coalition Player is first player.

27.17 Improved Positions at Start: none

27.2 Alternate Reinforcements

• #4. KLEIST, Pr III Corps (already in play in the Mini-Campaign, 27.64), 2153. NOTE: Kleist's Corps may appear here, despite the yellow initiative boxes.

27.3 Special Rules

27.31 Damaged Bridges at Start: none

27.32 March Orders at Start: Each Player has one (20.1). Reinforcement forces of IV and VI Corps have pre-programmed march orders to Starsiedel.

27.33 Map Area in Play: Set up all units in accordance with the "5.2.13" column of the Initial Set-up. This scenario uses the Lutzen (LUT) Map.

27.34 Ammunition Shortage. At the battle of Lutzen Russian artillery expended all their stocks of ammunition on hand. Each time Russian artillery obtains a "1R" result on the Bombardment Table, make a note of it. When the total reaches six, the Coalition Player must start rolling for ammunition shortage. Thereafter roll 1d6 each time a "1R" results on the Bombardment Table. A result of 6 means Ammunition Shortage. Then all Russian artillery -- except for the Russian V Corps -- suffer a -2 die roll modifier on the Bombardment Table. The shortage endures through Night PM of May 2nd.

27.4 Victory Conditions

VPs are earned as per 26.1.

27.41 Control: VP Hexes that Do NOT count: none

27.5 Lutzen Mini-Campaign

Napoleon was not expecting to fight at Lutzen, and his lack of cavalry kept him in the dark as to Coalition forces and intentions until noon of May 2nd. For this reason, the Lutzen Mini-Campaign is not part of the Campaign game. On the morning of May 1st, Napoleon continued to concentrate the army at Lutzen prior to advancing. Lauriston alone moved toward Leipzig. The Prussian General Kleist was unable to delay Macdonald's march south toward the Allied right.

27.51 Duration: 1 May, 12 Noon-2 May, 8 PM (31 turns).

27.52 Mode Cards at Start: French 2, Coalition 1

27.53 Alternate Reinforcements: (27.2)

27.54 March Orders at Start: Each Player has one (20.1). In addition, Lauriston's French V Corps has a pre-programmed March Order to Lindenau (N-3129).

27.55 Map Area in Play: The Lutzen Mini-Campaign uses the South and North Maps from OSG's Napoleon at Leipzig (NAL). (The Napoleon at Leipzig North and South maps can be purchased separately on www.Napoleongames.com.) Overlay the Lutzen map on the Leipzig south map at a 60 degree angle WSW. The Supply Source in Leipzig may be used by the Coalition, along with S-5434, S-6034, and Lut 0148 (even though it isn't on the mapedge). N1029 is a French Supply hex.

27.56 Counter Mix: The "5.1.13" column of the Initial Set-up shows the forces in play at start. Initial Set-up hexes for the North (N) or South (S) maps of Napoleon at Leipzig are only used in the Mini-campaign (27.66).

27.56 Control: The controlling player receives 10 VP for control of Lindenau (N-3129).

27.58 All other Scenario Information: (27.1 -27.4)

27.6 Lutzen Mini-Campaign Set-up

The French Player has overwhelming forces -- and knows it. This intel advantage makes an historical outcome for May 1st unlikely.

To somewhat ameliorate the French intelligence advantage, the Coalition player may choose the Free set-up or historical set-up. Kleist's Prussian III Corps, Korswandt's brigade and Wittgenstein set up on NAL North map at start (27.64).

27.61 Free Set-up: The Coalition player may secretly choose as a deployment center any bridge over the Weisse Elster, south of NAL N3627 inclusive. He writes down his choice (or else "Historical") in secret on a chit and places it face down near the game map. French Mode Cards are played and then the Noon French Player-Turn.

27.62 Revealed Deployment: Until his forces are revealed, the Coalition Player has no Player-Turn. The Russian I and II Corps, Knorring and Karpov, and the Prussian II Corps will be revealed all at once at any time of the Coalition Player's choice (27.65). Interrupting the French Player turn if he wishes, he reveals his chit and freely sets up the above forces within 9 hexes of the written deployment center -- not within 3 hexes of any French units. All units set up at their 5.1.13 strength, observing all stacking rules; then apply Mode Cards; and then resume the French Player Turn (if interrupted), or commence the Coalition Player-Turn. Forces remain face-down and only their location is revealed.

27.63 Reinforcements: Reinforcement units arrive as indicated on the TRC. After choosing his deployment center, the Coalition player must secretly assign a March Order to the Prussian I and Russian V Corps. These forces don't appear on the map until the deployment chit is revealed. They are assumed to be moving toward their assigned destination and are placed at a distance from their entry hex depending on the elapsed time since their scheduled entry. They may use Road March or not. The force sets up wherever it is removed from the March Order (20.23). Since only the Coalition player can see a convergence coming, he must place his forces on the map at the moment French units would have a line of sight to them.

In the "Historical" option, Yorck's II Corps sets up in road column between NAL S-3414 and S-3729.

27.64 Kleist's Corps: The Free Deployment doesn't apply to Kleist's Prussian III Corps. This corps, plus Wittgenstein, who starts asleep, according to Mode Card No. 2, "Late Start," and Korswandt's brigade, of II Prussian Corps -- will set up on the NAL-N map at start. (See Initial set-up for 5.1.13.)

27.65 Automatic Reveal: If the Coalition Army hasn't revealed before Noon on 2 May it must reveal at the start of that turn. Coalition units assigned to a hex occupied by French units must re-deploy closer to their Supply Source -- not within 3 hexes of any French units.

27.66 Eugene's Army: The Armee de l'Elbe (XI, V, IC) arrives on the NAL map as shown on the TRC under the notation "Mini-campaign only." These entries should be ignored when playing the Lutzen Day of Battle.

27.67 French VI Corps: Given his complete lack of cavalry, Marshal Marmont adopted a slow-moving anti-cavalry formation. At set-up, place a "Square" marker on each stack in VI Corps. The square markers on VI Corps units remain in place until the French player chooses to remove them. They may be removed at the end of any Friendly Movement Phase. Any hex occupied by VI Corps infantry units which is neither marked Square nor within 1 hex of friendly cavalry or vedettes will not roll a die but will add zero to the Lead unit's initiative in any Shock Combat in combat with enemy cavalry.

27.68 NAL-N Fords: Treat all blown bridges (2124, 2425, 2825, 2222, 2922, 3223, 3425, 3626) as fords.

28.0 THE BATTLE OF BAUTZEN

The Guard's Moment of Truth, 20-21 May 1813

28.1 Introduction

28.11 Duration: 21 May, 8 AM-8 PM (13 turns).

28.12 Mode Cards at Start: French 1, Coalition 1

28.13 Bonus Cards, Turn 2: French 2, Coalition 2.

28.14 Pontoon Trains: with Barclay, 1; with Macdonald, 1, with Soult, 3; and 1 deployed at S1313/1314.

28.16 First Player: The French Player is first player.

28.17 Improved Positions at Start: Coalition -- N3027, N2928, N3232, N3328, N3329, N3334; plus five (5) more in any hex occupied by friendly infantry. French -- none.

28.18 TRC to Use: The Bautzen Day of Battle uses the May 21 TRC only.

28.2 Alternate Reinforcements

28.5 Approach to Battle

Wittgenstein had 68,665 Russian and 29,344 Prussian troops in defensive positions in front of Bautzen along the River Spree and the hills beyond, watching the men of Napoleon's army 110,477 strong arriving from Dresden. Ney's wing would appear on the far right, from Luckau, with another 58,096 men.

The Russians are fighting a delaying action, to wear down the French and force them to make unfavorable attacks while two lines of Coalition units wait in reserve. The intention was to damage the French on the advance to the main position where the real battle will be fought on the 21st.

28.51 Duration: 20 May, 12 Noon-21 May, 8 PM (27 turns).

28.52 Mode Cards at Start: French 3, Coalition 1. Draw Mode Cards on the first daylight turn of each day (24.0). For the French, "Late Start" is in effect (28.67). Card No. 2 counts toward the total of 3 French Mode cards specified. Reshuffle the Mode Cards at 9 PM.

28.53 Alternate Reinforcements: (28.2)

28.54 March Orders at Start: The French Player has one (20.1). In addition, the French III Corps has a pre-programmed March Order to Klix (N2604). The Coalition Player has one (20.1).

28.56 All other Scenario Information: (same as 28.1-28.4) EXCEPTION: Set-up one pontoon with Oudinot -- not deployed.

28.6 Bautzen Mini-Campaign

The Mini-Campaign uses the 5.19.13 set-up for all forces on the BAU-N and BAU-S maps and the KON map (30.0). The Kon map overlaps the Bautzen North map at a 60 degree angle WNW. Hex Kon 0101 overlaps hex N1501 and Kon 2901 overlaps N0122.

28.61 Duration: 19 May, 1 PM-21 May, 8 PM (44 turns)

28.62 Mode Cards at Start: French 3, Coalition 1

28.64 March Orders at Start: The French Player has one (20.1). The Coalition Player has one (20.1) plus a pre-programmed March Order for Raevsky's III Corps to march to Neuoppitz (Kon 1014). All Coalition forces on the Kon map at the end of May 19th 8 PM have a pre-programmed March Order -- taking effect immediately -- to any location or locations of the Coalition Player's choice on the BAU-N map.

28.65 Control: Hexes that do NOT count: On May 19th, count VP hexes on the Konigswartha map only; after May 19th count VP locations on the BAU map only.

28.66 TRCs to Use: The Bautzen Mini-Campaign uses the May 19-20 TRC and the May 21 TRC.

28.67 French Late Start: French Card No. 2 (Late Start) is in effect at start. Follow instructions on the card. Remove card from the deck and place it beside the map face up, to denote its enduring effect.

28.68 Spoiling Attack [Optional Rule]: The Coalition leadership planned a spoiling attack for May 19th on the Bautzen front, instead of awaiting the French attack. If both players agree, ignore the above (28.67); all forces may move, attack and defend normally. If using this option use the following deployment modification.

ACCELERATED REINFORCEMENTS: NAPOLEON, 1YG and 2YG set-up anywhere within 4 hexes of S1006. The other Guard and GC reinforcements (1 PM and 2 PM) are accelerated by 24 hours, arriving at the same hour on May 19th instead of May 20th.

28.69 All other Scenario Infor: (same as 28.1 -28.4)

29.0 THE BATTLES OF LUCKAU AND HOYERSWERDA

Gateway to Berlin, 28 May-4 June 1813

29.1 Introduction

Oudinot's XII Corps was left behind to take Berlin after gathering in Leclerc's brigade and Beaumont's small force from Moritzburg. The first Prussian attack at Hoyerswerda failed badly and their forces dispersed. The Prussians reassembled at Luckau in a strong position. On June 4th the French broke into Luckau in two places, Prussian counterattacks driving them out while cavalry smashed Oudinot's right flank. The battle ended after the brigades of Borstel and Boyen arrived. Prussian losses totaled 500 dead and wounded, the Russians 210. The French lost 1,100 killed and wounded, one howitzer, several ammunition wagons, and 800 prisoners. Oudinot's beaten force retreated on Uebigau, while the Prussian pursuit was halted by news of the armistice on the 9th. Victory over one of Napoleon's experienced marshals secured the capital and raised morale.

29.11 Duration: 4 June, 10 AM-8 PM (11 turns).

31.0 CAMPAIGN GAME

May-June, 1813

31.1 Introduction

The Campaign Game is the "Link Game," consisting of the Lutzen Day of Battle, the Bautzen Mini-Campaign, and two small battle games played successively in order, with each day's fighting influencing the number of bonus cards you get (26.5).

31.11 Duration: Equals the total number of turns in the Lutzen DoB, Bautzen Mini-Campaign, Hoyerswerda and Luckau played sequentially.

31.12 Mode Cards at Start: 2 French, 2 Coalition.

31.13 Bonus Cards, Turn 2: French 2, Coalition 2.

31.14 Pontoon Trains: Wittgenstein, 1; French, none (31.55).

31.15 Counter Mix: (31.5)

31.16 First Player: The Coalition Player is 1st Player.

31.2 Alternate Reinforcements

All Alternate Reinforcements from the individual battles apply (27.2, 28.2, 29.2 and 30.2.).

31.3 Special Rules

All Special Rules from the individual battles apply (27.3, 28.3, 29.3 and 30.3).

31.4 Campaign Game Victory Conditions

The total of VPs is tallied per player after each battle. See the "Campaign Ratio" Section of the Victory Worksheet to determine the overall level of victory for each day of the campaign.

31.41 Control: (see individual battle).

31.5 Initial Set-up

To start the Grand Campaign, use the 5.2.13 set-up and play the Lutzen Day of Battle (27.0). At the conclusion of the Night PM turn of 2 May, the action moves to the Bautzen Approach to Battle (28.5) or if players prefer, to the Bautzen Mini-Campaign (28.6).

31.51 Victory Level: If the Coalition has won a Tactical or Strategic Victory at Lutzen, and controls hex NAL-N3627 at 9 pm on May 2nd, then there is no campaign progression to Bautzen; rather the players proceed immediately to a 3rd Day of battle at Lutzen. (Since there are no reinf. on the 3rd Day, recycle the May 2nd TRC.)

31.52 Force Structure: Assemble all forces in play, excluding the Prussian IV Corps. Set up units whether they survived the battle of Lutzen or not, per the Initial set-up card (5.19.13 or 5.20.13 at player option), including units not at Lutzen (the yellow non-b units). Units sometimes change their corps stripes (Berg's and Miloradovich's) -- always work with the counter called for in each battle. Left out of play: Leaders and Units which disappear from the Initial set-up between the two battles (such as Tormassov, for example).

31.52 Reduced and Eliminated Units: The (R) notations on the Initial Set-up for Bautzen should be ignored in the Campaign. Force reductions will depend on the outcome of the Lutzen Mini-Campaign. During the Start Phase for Bautzen (or Konigswartha, if not skipped), all units with a substitute unit must now substitute the corresponding counter ("-b" with yellow initiative box).

31.53 Attrition: All units set-up at Full Strength, except: 1) PEU units, and 2) French UAR units if the Coalition has won a Marginal Victory. These two groups of units set up on their reduced side. (Units among them with no reduced side are out of play.)

31.54 Replacements: If Card No. 4 appears during mode Card play, the player gains up to 8 new Strength Points. Replacement arrivals are not subject to the rules of Reorganization (22.2).

31.55 Leaders, Baggage, etc.: Any baggage trains and vedettes that have been eliminated return to play. Any leaders that have been captured remain so. The French player receives 5 new pontoons. Formations without officers now get a replacement leader (5.52).

Cards

General Retreat card (No. 9) (clarification-addition): It is not necessary to have a General Retreat card to declare a General Retreat. The GR card may be played as "Inapplicable" for its MA alone, like a Tactics card (18.83).

Study Folder

25.73 (replace existing rule): Release of French Imperial Guard: Units of the OG, YG* and GC Corps may not voluntarily engage prior to Coalition General Retreat declaration. EXCEPTION: * one whole YG Div (either 1YG or 2YG) may engage freely at any time (per historical usage).

27.32 March Orders at Start: The IV and VI Corps mentioned are French, and the VI Corps units enter only in the Mini-Campaign.

28.2 Alternate Reinforcements, COALITION: #1. For the two Cossack units use Illowaisky (2-3-7) and Karpov II (1-3-7), both with yellow initiative.

28.35 Marshal Soult: Marshal Soult was ineffective at the battle of Bautzen (due to contradictory orders) and should be removed from play. Soult is no longer used in any scenario. If players wish to keep Soult in play, then he may only place the IV Corps in command (plus one other unit). Eugen is now a commander at Lutzen and Bautzen.

28.36 Roadblocks

During the development of Napoleon's Resurgence, we encountered the question of Coalition roadblocks. A roadblock represents a physical obstruction (such as an abattis) plus a battalion more or less. We knew they had some roadblocks at Bautzen, especially along the Spree. But we decided they weren't critical, and so they were omitted.

Add 12 Roadblocks to the Bautzen Coalition initial set-ups, in any allowed hex east of the River Spree (28.37).

A roadblock is built by an infantry battalion with tools. (We can imagine the troops moving out after their work is done.) Roadblocks have a combat strength of 1 but may never attack. Roadblocks are static, immobile and "unable to retreat fully/PEU." Enemy units may not enter a hex containing a Roadblock counter. A roadblock is blocked to French and Coalition alike, including movement, retreats, supply lines and Command Radius. A roadblock at a bridge may be cleared by units crossing the bridge (28.36d).

a) Roadblock Construction: Each army can construct up to 2 roadblocks at start and 2 each Night PM turn, at least 3 hexes from the nearest enemy unit, and within 2 hexes of a friendly infantry unit (in both cases tracing only through terrain passable to infantry). Roadblocks may only be placed in a road or trail hex at a defile -- either end of a bridge, in a town, slope hex, or woods, and must be pointed toward the defile hexside. Construction is automatic -- simply place the Roadblock Marker with the red arrow pointed toward the blocked defile. You may build up to two roadblocks in a hex, each pointing to a different defile hexside.

b) Reconnaissance against Roadblocks: Roadblocks are placed face down until revealed by recon (8.3) or Repulse (9.12). The roadblock is treated as "no cav" on the Reconnaissance Table. A repulse is resolved as a regular combat, with no column shift (9.22).

c) Roadblock ZOCs: A facedown Roadblock marker has a ZOC into all adjacent hexes. The 5 non-defile hexsides are revealed as non-controlled only when the Roadblock marker is faceup, leaving one actual hex of ZOC. Friendly units may stack with the roadblocks -- their ZOCs are unimpaired.

d) Clearing a Roadblock: To clear a roadblock, an enemy infantry unit must attack it through the defile hexside. It can also be cleared automatically by a friendly infantry unit in the same hex. The attack is resolved on the Combat Results Table. Do not use Shock for combat vs. Roadblocks. A Shock, retreat or 1R result for the roadblock means it is cleared. A cavalry or artillery unit without infantry cannot attack (or bombard) through the defile hexside, but may attack from non-defile hexsides. If no infantry units attack through the defile hexside, at the same time, that roadblock is not removed.

e) Defending a Roadblock: There are no additional terrain effects on combat for units stacked with a roadblock. The defense strength of the roadblock is added to the total combat strength defending the hex, unless no infantry attack through the roadblock hexside. Cavalry Charges are not permitted against a roadblock.

28.65 Control: VP locations on the BAU map sections are not counted -- not even if using the Spoiling Attack (28.68) option.

28.2 Alternate Reinforcements, FRENCH: #1. SEBASTIANI/IIC (not V/17th I.D. -- already in play)

28.52 Mode Cards at Start: Mode cards have to be drawn at the start of each day, on the first daylight turn. Apply them, as explained in 24.0. For the French, "Late Start" is in effect (28.67). Card No. 2 counts toward the total of 3 French Mode cards specified. Reshuffle the Mode Cards each night at 9 PM.

28.64 March Orders at Start (add): In addition, all Coalition forces on the Kon map at the end of May 19th, 8PM have a pre-programmed March order -- taking effect immediately -- to any location or locations, of the Coalition Player's choice, on the BAU-N map.

28.67 French Late Start (Card No. 2): French Card No. 2 (Late Start) is in effect at start. Follow instructions on the card. Remove card from the deck and place it beside the map face up, to denote its enduring effect. (This rule replaces "Undeclared Truce Day.")

29.5 Hoyerswerda: French General Oudinot has a Late Start in effect at start. Place Card No. 2 face-up near the map.

29.59 Victory Conditions: VPs are earned as per 26.1. EXCEPTION: The Coalition player receives the VPs shown at the end of each French Player turn that Coalition units control that hex.

27.6 Lutzen Mini-Campaign Set-up, 27.63 Reinforcements: After choosing his deployment center, the Coalition player must secretly assign a March Order to all of his Reinforcement Forces scheduled to arrive before Noon on May 2nd. These forces don't appear on the map until the deployment chit is revealed. They are assumed to be moving toward their assigned destination and are placed at a distance from their entry depending on the amount of time they have spent on the map. They may use Road March or not. The force sets up wherever it is removed from the March Order (20.23). Since only the Coalition player can see a convergence coming, he must place his forces on the map at the moment French units would have a line of sight to them.
