My 7th title with John Tiller and this one completes the War of the Sixth Coalition Trilogy of games.

Included are the battles of Lutzen, Bautzen and several other of the minor battles of the Spring Campaign of 1813.

There is a stand alone Spring campaign and a linking Spring-Fall campaign in the game. Also a Solo Spring campaign too.

The Russo-Swedish War of 1808-09 is covered in Company Level (Rich White's favorite level).

Ships were added to the game engine. See the promo page for more info!

Happy New Years guys - this is my gift to the Napoleonic Wargaming community. The trilogy is done - I have one more title to do for this era and then I move on to something new. What will it be? We shall see ...

In December and January of 1813 Napoleon's La Grande Armée limped back into Germany and Poland from the debacle that was the 1812 Russian campaign. Leaving Eugene to hold off the Allied onslaught, the Emperor returned to France to work his magic and out of the recruits of France a new army was formed.
Meanwhile, Eugene had fallen back in the face of the larger Allied host. The Prussians walked a diplomatic tight rope for the first months of the year but by March were in open revolt. The Prussian generals formed new forces in East Prussia and Silesia and other parts of the realm. Along with the standing army they were ready to stand with their Russian allies. England helped the Allies with cash and clothing and munitions. The Sixth Coalition was formed to liberate Germany and take the war to France. In the battles to come both sides would be sorely tested to hold their armies together.
Campaign Bautzen allows the players to refight the battles of Lützen and the massive battle of Bautzen, which was the largest land battle fought in Europe up to this time, and many other actions of the Spring Campaign of 1813. Will the Allies pull off a victory against Napoleon or will they succumb to his mastery on the battlefield?

As a bonus included in this title are the battles of the Russo-Swedish War of 1808-09. Refight the actions in Finland and Sweden which pitted the Russians against their old foes the Swedes. Engage the Swedes in their homeland in the last actions of the war. It's all there for you to enjoy!

I have't completed a page for this one yet- but the full-sized downloads will be available on SDC as per normal. Will update when that is done.
Nice work Steve. Question: I do not see one for Lutzen or Bautzen there. Are you working on those or am I just blind?
Bautzen should be the first one.

Lutzen should be in there -although I may have spelled it Luetzen -as I was too lazy on the first pass to add the umlauted u. Fixed that- but there are some others in German where I went by say ae, oe, or ue to replace the umlauted letter.

It seems like I might have missed a few captions (well I did for Elsterwerda - so there might be a few others I need to go back and catch).
Thanks for pointing that out. At my age all I saw was a huge group of images!

Really appreciate the hard work and thanks for helping to promote our games.
