Pretzen 1807 Scenario

Here is a fictional scenario set in 1807 prior to battle at Heilsberg. It is a very simple scenario designed to provide a quick game. As usual, this scenario was designed for our favorite set of Napoleonic rules - General de Brigade (Deluxe). A short battle report will follow...

Encounter near Pretzen1807

This fictional encounter is set after the miserable winter campaign of 1807. It supposes that the French (weak) 2nd Division of Soult's IV Corps encountered units of Titov's 3rd Division from Dohturov's Infantry Wing while the French were probing for holes in the Russian lines prior to the Battle of Heilsberg. Both sides quickly become aware that holding the small village of Pretzen would be very useful in controlling the road into Heilsberg. With this in mind, both sides act quickly in an attempt to grab the village and other important terrain features.

Each side will potentially get a small reinforcement of via a dice roll against a reinforcement chart. Any reinforcements will enter at the center point of that side's table edge. The reinforcement roll will happen during the orders phase of turn 6. Each side makes only one % roll to determine reinforcements.

Reinforcements Roll %
1-33 Light Cavalry “Brigade” (no lances) with one unit of 12 Figures VETERAN with AVG Brigadier
34-66 Light Cavalry “Brigade” (no lances) with one unit of 12 Figures ELITE with AVG Brigadier
67-00 Light Cavalry “Brigade” (no lances) with two units of 12 Figures LINE with AVG Brigadier

Terrain Notes
The Village – Pretzen will hold 1 battalion of 24 figures and counts as COVER -2.

The Hills – All hills are GOOD TERRAIN and do not modify movement in any way. Line of sight is blocked by hills.

The Woods – All woods are DIFFICULT TERRAIN. All woods are light woods with 6” visibility.

The Roads – All roads offer x2 speed for INFANTRY units in MARCH COLUMN that spend the entire move on the roads.

Victory Conditions
The victory conditions are fairly straightforward. There are 3 objective points and whoever controls 2, or more, of those points will be the winner.
