Gentlemen,

some say, that this is a tough one for the French player.
Hmmh... If a french officer wants to show me that, i will agree on a game with swaped sides.
If not, i am available as Allied player too.
Optional rules all but: manual def. fire, no retreat eliminations, partial retreats, mutiple inf. melees.
House rules negotiable.
Please only French officers, because i prefer fights.

If no Frenchmen appear, I will take your challenge. I played most of the first day of this as the French before my opponent retired from the game and I am eager to play it again, as either side but especially as the French.

Hi Michael,

I have recently purchased Bautzen, but have yet to play it! Are you looking to play a Campaign?

Why would this be tough for the French? Lack of cavalry? Beyond that shortfall, I was always under the impression that in the Spring of 1813 at least the French had sheer numbers on their side... hmmm... will have to take a look at this ....

Let me know if you want to BATTLE. I am at Timothy_Cavallin@sagicor.com

Cheers.

Hi Tim,

courier on the way

Cheers
Michael

Hi Michael,

Opening campaign file has been sent to you!

Good luck sir!

Tim

The problem is the first scenario starts as a major defeat for the French and is to short for the French to concentrate. The Allies also hold all the VP's and have more cavalry. I was a play tester for Bautzen and I think this first scenario in the Spring Campaign is very difficult for the French to avoid a major defeat and needs some serious tweaking. Might be better to agree to a draw and advance the campaign to the next fight.
