Cold Wars 2018 Saturday

Saturday at Cold Wars.  Having finished with game mastering, I turned my attention to play.  In John Snead's game I commanded the Russian right flank in a rear guard action as we sought to stem the Franco-Saxon advance after Bautzen in 1813.  The game ended in a pyric French victory, but if we had gone another turn, we would have crushed our opponents as we had a cavalry counter attack set up with a very high likelihood of success. 
The French right flank looking toward the Russian held village.
My jagers held this village in front of our lines on the Russian Right. the French had to decide to attack it or by-pass it.  They tried to do both. Eventually pushing the jagers out of the village.
 
We took a reverse slope position and pounded the advancing French with artillery.


The French advance continues


The Russian brain trust.
I advance on the extreme right flank to slow down the Saxon's by-passing the jagers in the village.
