14 June 1807 - Historical - Intended to be played Head to Head - This is the full battle scenario starting at 0600 featuring no restrictions on the Russians as it regards movement. Bennigsen was concerned that a strong push towards Königsberg was totally unrealistic. Only because of Popov's threat of being replaced as the army commander did Bennigsen even cross the Alle River in strength. This scenario allows the Allied player to do as they like concerning the Russian plan. Objectives have been placed to the west to entice the Russians to attack but of course the larger French army will be arriving to block their attempt. Lannes and Grouchy will have to fall back in the face of the larger numbers of Russians. Map Note: There is a hidden ford located on the map which has a map tag showing its location. This ford uses the "Rail" terrain type. See the Parameter Data or WEC.PDF for the movement costs.

I think if the Russians are sufficiently aggressive at the beginning of Friedland, the scenario is overall in their favor in most cases.
