1 Part 1 Scenarios for General de Division
2 General de Division - Scenarios This is a series of scenarios adapted from historical actions which took place during the Napoleonic Wars and which are suitable to be played to General de Division rules. In choosing these particular actions from the literally hundreds available I have tried to represent a variety of situations rather than concentrating on simple encounter battles and to feature some armies which don t appear on the wargames table all that frequently, such as the Poles and Neapolitans. Scaling down a historical battle isn t always an exact science. Historical sources don t always agree and orders of battle aren t always presented in the same way. Please note that occasional liberties have had to be taken with orders of battle in order to retain the flavour of the historical action and I apologise if your favourite unit has disappeared during the process of scaling down.

3 Battle of Saalfeld - 10th October 1806 General de Division - Scenarios Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia did not need to fight at Saalfeld - he could have retired to join the main army at Jena - but he was one of the Prussian leaders most eager to fight Napoleon. As the French 5th Corps approached, Prince Louis Ferdinand deployed his men with their back to the river. The French bombarded them with artillery for a while before attacking frontally and on their flank. The Prussians began to give way. FRENCH ARMY To recover the situation, the Prince led a charge against the French flank attack. The charge was beaten back and the Prince was cut down by a French man and killed. The Prussians lost about 400 killed and wounded, twice the French loss, and lost 1000 prisoners and all 28 guns. The river counts as a River. The slope is gentle.

4 General de Division - Scenarios Battle of Golymin - 26th December 1806 At the end of December 1806, the Russian army was in retreat, pursued by the French under Napoleon. The left wing of his army, under Murat, was to outflank the Russians at Pultusk. However, Russian General Bennigsen disobeyed orders to retreat and made a stand at Pultusk. Murat's wing caught up with a retiring Russian force under Golitsyn at Golymin. Conditions were terrible - a thaw together with heavy rain turned the ground to mud. The French were unable to bring any guns to the battlefield and the Russians were too tired to retreat. FRENCH ARMY C-in-c Marshal Murat The first French attack, under Augureau, at first pushed back the Russians, but the situation was stabilised by the Russian artillery. Murat's drove back the Russian, but were held up by bad terrain. Morand's division attacked and captured the woods at the Russian centre, but were unable to press their advantage for fear of counter attack. As night fell, the Russians were able to withdraw and continue their retreat. Losses had been about equal. Slope is gentle. The watercourse is a Stream. The battle takes place in Heavy Rain.

5 Battle of Corunna - 16th January 1809 General de Division - Scenarios The British army under Sir John Moore, isolated by the defeat of its Spanish allies and faced by overwhelming French forces, carried out a long painful retreat through the snow bound mountains of Galicia with Marshal Soult s French army hard on its heels. At Corunna the Royal Navy had sufficient ships to carry the army, but Moore had to buy time to allow embarkation to take place. He turned at bay on the hills outside Corunna and forced Soult to fall back. Sir John Moore was killed during the battle, but enough time was bought to allow the army to be evacuated. All slopes are steep. The walls of Corunna at the North West count as Earthwork.

6 General de Division - Scenarios Battle of Raszyn - 19th April 1809 In March 1809, an Austrian corps of men invaded Poland, aiming to capture Warsaw. The Polish army, under Prince Poniatowski, was heavily outnumbered and he chose to block the Austrian advance at Raszyn, a good defensive position behind a marshy stream. The Austrian commander was confident and ordered his advance guard to attack without waiting for the rest of the corps to deploy, but they made little progress. Gradually more and more troops on both sides were drawn in. POLISH ARMY The Austrians made three separate attempts to outflank the Polish positions but were held off by Polish artillery and musketry. Eventually, as darkness loomed, the Austrians finally broke through in the centre. Poniatowski ordered his army to retire to Warsaw. Polish losses were between 1000 and 1500 killed and wounded; Austrian losses were approximately twice as many. Slopes are gentle. The watercourse counts as a Stream.

8 General de Division - Scenarios Battle of Maya - 25th July 1813 Following the battle of Vittoria, the French armies retreated out of Spain, leaving isolated garrisons at San Sebastian and Pamplona. The Duke of Wellington settled down to besiege these fortresses with part of his army, placing the remainder to guard the Pyrenees passes.
