Allied Supreme Imperial Command

Allied Supreme Imperial Command

For one brief period in late August 1813, there existed an opportunity for both the field commanders and the Allied Monarchs to meet.

A critical step of strategy was decided upon, one that would dictate the Allied armies movements for the next few weeks of the campaign.

It was great to be able to setup this strategic communication with five players on three continents with time zones ranging from UK, to Eastern North America and Pacific Time all the way out to Western Australia.

The story line will continue to be shared here, when able.

Count on a full after campaign, detailed account of the various actions ... this campaign is certainly one for my record book!

Marienberg II AAR

General Barclay de Tolly

General Barclay de Tolly has been active in the Bohemian mountains near Marienberg.

This After Action Report goes into detail about the engagement.

Now the allied forces appear to have stalled in the region south of Dresden.

Battle of Kamenz AAR

Blucher at Kamenz

Find the After Action Report for the Battle of Kamenz on MurdockS MarauderS blog.

The battle was a draw for losses, however the French are having to continue a retreat to the south and west, now definitively driven out of Silesia and away from the Bobr.

Blucher is certainly living up to his historical narrative in driving away Oudinot.  Will the 'master' Bonaparte show up soon in the sector, as was historically the challenge?

Blucher is relentless

GdK Blucher is relentless in his pursuit of Oudinot.

Now another battle will result from Blucher driving hard with Russian Dragoons to overtake the leading elements of Oudinot's retreating Corps.

After action report, AAR to come after this weekend.
