21 October 1813 - Alternate - Intended to be played Head to Head - Note: Supply wagons count for 1 victory point per 10 points lost. After the Battle of Leipzig, Napoleon's army forged its way back towards Erfurt via Freyburg and Kösen. Napoleon was with the main body of the army and as his army crossed at Freyburg a force of Prussians was detected on the heights to the north. Historically the French easily brushed aside these forces but what if Napoleon's forces had been straggling and caught unawares? The goal will be for the French to hold open the bridge so that the various components of the army that has yet to cross can reach safety.
