Looking for an Opponent for our new title: Leipzig

Specifically, I'm looking for an opponent for "026. Battles Around Dresden"
200 turns. Either side is fine with me and rules can be negotiated. I have a tendency to dish out between 3-5 turns a week. I don't expect that I, nor anyone, in all reality, can continuously dish out (5 turns a week on average) that often, just don't disappear on me :shock: I know real life happens (For me: a Beautiful BUT Nagging Fiancee at Home :shock:), you get the idea.


Summary of the scenario:

26-27 August 1813 - Historical - Intended for Head to Head play - Napoleon had moved east towards Liegnitz to try and bring the Army of Silesia to battle but Blücher upon hearing the he was facing the French Emperor adhered to the Allies' plan of avoiding combat. Thus the French move fell on air and the Allies slipped away. Meanwhile, in Dresden, St. Cyr and the XIV Corps plus garrison troops noted a heightened amount of troops moving against the city. There had been combat a few days past and now the Army of Bohemia was attempting to take the initiative while Napoleon was away. Sending out couriers for the French monarch, St. Cyr did as best as he could with the troops that he had. Receiving assurances that more French reinforcements would arrive he and his troops hunkered down for the eventual massing before the city and eventual assault. Napoleon had originally planned on crossing at Königstein and moving against the Allies' open right flank but instead went for the direct maneuver. Arriving in time to save the day with the Guard and two corps the cry went up, "Vive l'Empereur!" At that moment the Allied monarchs attempted to call off the 4pm assault but to no avail. The signal cannon were sounded and the columns of Allied troops went into the attack. What followed were two days of terrific fighting. The Allies' attack on the first day was blunted and on the second day the French went over to the attack despite the weather turning to heavy rain and rendering the roads next to useless. While this would be another of Napoleon's finest victories his first plan would probably have netted him a finer victory. Had he attacked the Allied right flank there is no doubt that the Allies would have been forced away from their depots and the Army of Bohemia out of action for months to come.

PM me or send me an email over to AustrianBlitz {at} Yahoo {dot} com

Let's have some fun and a round for Mr. Bill Peter's for this Gigantic and Exciting New Title!!!!!!

Ok, the biggie (Scenario) doesn't seem to be attracting too many fans. So, I will open things up a little bit...You pick the scenario and side and we can negotiate rules. Doesn't have to be a monstrous scenario, but ideally, something historical. Small, medium or large is fine with me.

I have a tendency to dish out between 3-5 turns a week. I don't expect that I, nor anyone, in all reality, can continuously dish out (5 turns a week on average) that often. Just don't disappear on me :shock: I know real life happens (For me: a Beautiful BUT Nagging Fiancee at Home :shock:), you get the idea.

Let's get Rollin' Somebody!?!? Anybody!?!? :mrgreen:
