Lambsnag on Bunn. Germany 1814.

Post by Trailape »

Hi Guys
I've posted another AAR on my Blog.
This time it's a FoG:N game:

The idea is as follows:
It's 1814, and even though the Bavarians and Wurttembergers have defected to the Allies, Napoleon has managed to withdraw from the Battle of Leipzig in good shape. The Allies have brought across from the Low Countries a British Corp to aid their new found allies, (the Bavarians and Wurttembergers). A mixed force of these 'Germans' are now defending the strategically important town of Lambsnag on Bunn. Marshal Victor has been directed by the Emperor to capture the town and the vital bridges and road intersections. Sir General Thomas Graham is commanding the the British Army (of Corps size) and he is hurrying to the aid of the newly raised Bavarian and Wurttembeg units.
The Emperor had intelligence that the town is defended by the recently defecting Bavarians, and suspected that even though they had fought hard against him at Hanau that here (without any Austrians to intimidate them) they might surrender the town.
The battlefield was dominated by the river Bunn running across it. On the eastern side of the river was the town of Lambsnag. A long line of hills ran the length of the eastern side of the Bunn. Further east and behind the hill line lay a small stream; the Dinneroll which ran between the hill line and the Kornchip Heights.

It appears your Bavarians needed some Austrians to give them some more back bone, guess they don't speak English to well or had any idea what the Highlanders were crying out at all.
Nice pictures thanks for sharing

Hi
The Bavarians in the town fought quite well actually. Repelling two or thee assaults.
The Bavarian Guard Grenadier also did well, (even without the 'Guard' rating and only being classed as Drilled / Average). They Routed a LARGE French line unit, (ok they hit them in flank) so not bad. Also, they DID rally from 'Broken'.
The Bavarians just couldn't hold the line long enough. They probably needed some Artillery.
I'd probably give them a large Battery if I played the scenario again.
