16-19 October 1813 - Alternate - Intended to be played Head to Head - In late September, 1813, Napoleon came to the realization that he could not hold Dresden and decided to abandon the city. The French forces there were ordered to start marching for Leipzig as soon as possible. The I Corps took a more northerly route which had it routing through Eilenberg while the XIV Corps was to march on the city directly. The activities of the Allies caused it to make a slight detour to the south. Thus I Corps would become part of Ney's command to reinforce the northern front facing the Army of Silesia while the XIV Corps would reinforce Murat's force lying to the south of the city. Both players will eventually exit their entire army from the map. The Allies must make sure that they use the proper exit hex that matches the nationality of the counter color: 0,24 Green Flag - Russian; 0,25 Orange Flag - Austrian; 0,27 Black/White Flag - Prussian; 0,28 Blue Cross/Yellow background Flag - Sweden. Victory is determined who holds the victory objectives at the end of the scenario (more than likely the Allies), the net difference between losses and the net difference between the troops exited.
