Name the commander and name the battle and what is significant about him and Oct 6? He is short, puts his hand in his grey coat and generally wears a bicorne. The night before this battle he was surrounded by his Guard. The battle is well known for an impetuous Ney as well as a dashing Murat. Who is the general, what is the battle and what do they have in common with October 6?

This sounds like Jena to me. Obviously, Napoleon passed the night before the battle in his tent among a battalion of his Guard, and the battle featured both Ney and Murat in the roles described. But it was on 14 October and I can't link it to the 6th other than by the rather obvious fact that the campaign began on that day. Maybe someone else can think of something ... <center> D.S.

I was confused by Bill's referance to Napoleon as General... Going strictly by the date he gave ( October 6 ) I found the battle I mentioned.. I had thought of Jena but could find no October 6 battle date for that campaign. <center> [img]</center> <center>Monsieur le Marechal Baron John Corbin Duc de Paive Commanding the Division de Cavalerie de la Jeune Garde NWC President</center> |

What does Oct 6 and this general and battle have in common? Why its the day you can pickup HPS Campaign Jena-Auerstaedt! And find out how you would have done as the French or Prussians. Enjoy guys.
