oppose the Russians with various allied contingents of the French. The battle of
Gorodetschna is one such, with Austrians and Saxons attacking the Russians. |

The Last Years: |
|
| Lutzen 2nd May 1813 |
A battle of titans as Napoleon leds his conscripts against the Russians and Prussians in
the desperate struggle in early 1813. |
| Gross Beeren 23rd August
1813 |
The main French army was around Dresden. Oudinot was sent to attack
Berlin with an army of four corps and a cavalry corps, the intent being to destroy the
Prussian magazines and to so disrupt their administration that they could not supply any
more Landwehr to the field army this year. |
| Dennewitz 6th September
1813 |
Marshal Ney attempts to complete the mission given to Oudinot earlier,
and that he fumbled, at Gross Beeren. Additionally an expanded
Dennewitz
scenario, which starts earlier in the day, and includes some additional
forces can also be found here. |
| Brienne 29th January 1814
|
Napoleon on the offensive as the Allies advance on Paris. The first battle of the 1814
campaign. Napoleon's marshals have given up too much ground and the Emperor takes personal
command and confounds Blucher with a classic attack of envelopment. What could have been a
decisive set back for the Allies is compromised by the presence of so many woefully green
French infantry. Napoleon commented after the battle that he could have done better with
veteran troops but considering what he had he was satisfied with what he achieved. |
| La Rothiere 1st February 1814
|
Following the battle of Brienne, Napoleon camps on the battlefield and adjusts his
dispositions. Inexplicably he does more or less nothing for three days during which time
the Allies amass an overwhelming force against him and counter-attack. All is not well
however and the Allies are hamstrung by some complex behind the scenes political
restraints. This interesting action sees the Allies fielding an army of Prussians,
Russians and Bavarians with on the French side the Imperial Guard at centre stage. |
| Craonne 7th March 1814
|
At Craonne Napoleon hoped to erupt into the middle of an enemy army which was retreating
by isolated detachments, instead he found himself confronting a Russian army of several
Corps posted on a hill and ready to fight. |
|

|
The Americas |
|
| Tippecanoe,
7th November 1811 |
On the banks of the Wabash near the Native American settlement of Tippecanoe, American forces carried out what the modern day world would view as a "preemptive strike". When the smoke cleared that morning, one of the major casualties of that action was death of an even younger Native American nation. |
