hagelberg (august 27,1813)
INTRODUCTION
This
battle was fought between the French Girard’s Garrison (or Division)
of Magdeburg and the Prussian Hirschfeld corps. Whereas the goal of
Girard’s force (composed by French 3rd battalions and some Rheinbund
troops) was to join Oudinot in the advance towards Berlin, the
Hirschfeld's force (Prussian Reserve and Landwher and Cossacks) was
posted to the right wing of the Army of the North (Bernadotte’s own)
to cover its flank watching, precisely, the approach of the
Magdeburg Garrison.
The Scenario is loosely based on this battle and it is the first try at
Lasalle rule-set. The order of battle and
maps are adapted from the Nafziger’s book ‘Napoleon at Dresden. The
battles of August 1813’ (see Bibliography).
