2 May 1813 - Historical - Intended to be played Head to Head. The initial Allied attack on Großgörschen was a fine success. Souham's division had to fall back on Kaja. However, the Allies failed to exploit their gains and the initiative passed to the French. Marechal Ney finally arrived on the battlefield around 12:30pm and went forward towards Großgörschen see how the battle went. Along the way he ordered the 39th Division (Marchand) to march to the sound of the guns. Shortly afterwards he came up on the 9th (Brenier) and 10th (Ricard) Divisions and likewise ordered them forward towards Kaja. Arriving finally at Kaja he found Souham's and Girard's divisions. He quickly ordered them forward to regain Klein Görschen. Ricard and Brenier were ordered to retake Rahna and then the advancing forces were to retake Großgörschen. This assault was stopped by Klüx and the French had to await more forces before they could retake the village. This scenario portrays the efforts of the 8th, 9th and 10th Divisions to retake the villages from the Allies and Blücher's counterattack which restored them.

The Allies have plenty of cavalry units and the French do not. Makes it hard for the French to stop them.
