October 19th; Pre-Dawn Turn; Allied Player-Turn:

This shows the situation in the south. The Allies needed to swing their flank further east, but reorganizing units prevented this. But they will have another chance next turn. Loss totals are now 219,640 Allies (and 790 guns) vs. 65,290 French (and 29 guns).

This shot shows the situation in the north. The arrival of the Leipzig Garrison here has helped restore some needed balance. The lines have all been reordered – for now.

This shot shows the situation in the south. The southern flank of the Allied position is now hanging in midair, with a lot of French strength in the area to exploit it. The Allies will need to address this ASAP.

October 19th; Morning Turn; Allied Player-Turn:

More bad luck for the Allies! The Russian D Wing is reorganizing. That prevents it from being extracted from its exposed situation. This shot shows that rather than abandon it, other forces have been redeployed to try to save it. We’ll see how that works out. That redeployment expended enough of the redeployers’ movement that attacks on this sector have to be postponed till next turn.

This shot shows the Allied results in the north. Some advances were made, but not comparable to turn 12. The Allies have been attacking for several turns now, and have lost most of their freshness advantage. That, plus the French reinforcements have blunted their edge.

October 19th; Morning Turn; French Player-Turn:

This shot shows the adjustments in this sector. All that was done was to fill gaps and move the Guard Cavalry into position to block any serious breach towards the bridge out of Leipzig. Next turn is the last one, so a little disorder in the line can be tolerated – no counterattacks were needed.

Turn 14; 0 Combat Rounds Expended: The two pockets are being reduced. At the same time, attacks and forces are positioned to try to nip off the salient in the Allied lines. Note the microscreen in the upper right, showing the overall situation.

Turn 14; 2 Combat Rounds Expended:

Post by Curtis Lemay »

Turn 14; 2 Combat Rounds Expended: One pocket was eliminated, while the other held. Meanwhile, the Guard attacks blew open the Russian line, allowing major exploitation. The Russians that were holding that line are now corralled into a pocket, and other Allied units are now in a very long salient that will become a pocket if the blocking Prussian unit can be dislodged.

October 19th; Afternoon Turn; Allied Player-Turn:

This shot shows that the French turn ended early. That has allowed the Allies to extract the units that were in that salient that was about to be pinched off. Meanwhile, the two pockets were reduced but held out. The retreated Prussian unit was in reorg and had to be abandoned. Other than that unit, however, the rest of the Allied flank was successfully redeployed. Nevertheless, the Allies are now so thin on this sector that no attacks could be planned. The loss totals are now 240,150 Allies (and 917 guns) vs. 70,650 French (and 31 guns).

This shot shows the Allied results in the north. Their turn ended after only one round, so results were minimal.

Turn 15; 0 Combat Rounds Expended: One of the pockets was overrun and another pocket was formed around the Prussian unit. Attacks are scheduled on it and the remaining Austrian pocket. Elsewhere, the Allied line is too well positioned to justify any more attacks on it.
