Bonsoir, messieurs. I have no idea what I'm doing. Please give me a few pointers and a hint of what's expected of me. Much obliged. Vive l'Empereur!

Gutter Owl posted:Okay, we can still make this work. Pulling the north cavalry back to 55 isn't a huge issue, as it still limits Bagration's road march. Likewise, 119 still slows Dokhtorov. The only problem is that either can clear out or lock down the screen with a cavalry feint. Would they be unable to do that if the cavalry were at 66? I think it actually makes it harder for them, since we're a bit further away and the roads don't facilitate it as much. Do we not risk losing our artillery by setting it completely on its own? Or do we have a plan for it?

What's the role of the artillery at 102? Is it there to cover a possible retreat?

OK, talk to me about the practicalities of the thing. What should we aim to achieve? What's the difference between a bad manoeuvre and a good one? In combat, which units should I post as leading and what should I keep in mind while making the decisions?

So, what should my plan be? Just hold the line and retreat the cavalry as necessary? Is there anything I should do to reform my position, or is it good enough as is for now? This is roughly what I'm thinking will, tell me if it makes any sens: Option A: Allies only attack my position with Kienmayer. That means they can either go right at me through 135 and 119 (this would take at least two turns), which would be a major blunder, as they'd just bleed themselves dry. They may also attempt to go around me, either through Das Schloss to 132 or through 131 to 117. In the first case, I just fall back to 132 and then we'll see what happens. If they go through 131, should I attempt to intercept them? With cavalry feints, I should have an advantage if I can catch them in the open. Option B: Allies go at me with Kienmayer and Dokhtorov. That rules out any attempts at attacking until (if) we bring Bernadotte out, so once they get to 131 or 134, I fall back to 132. Once there, feint with the cavalry to eat up their activations if they want to attack in full force, detach forces to approaches, prepare for the last stand. Option C: Kienmayer and Dokhtorov also bring out Langeron. Goes like Option B, except that the last stand comes sooner and pretty much means it's merde time. Am I getting this correctly?

OK, we'll see how it develops, then. Gotta say that I'd say that having both Dokhtorov and Kienmayer push for me early seems like the most likely solution (although I may be biased).

No defenders. Retreat to das Schloss (134).

Rules question: can the cavalry in Das Schloss attack Dokhtorov's corps? In other words, is the approach obstruction there bidirectional, or only on the way in? If they can, Attack threat on the 134-119 approach. If not, Attack threat on the 135-119 approach.

Detach Move the 2-inf piece to 132. Question: when did Kienmayer's corps get that fourth unit? There are three set-up bars on his locale, and I don't recall anyone moving in there. Is it just my memory?

Was the revealed Guard unit a part of the Corps or an independent?

Tekopo, could you please keep count of remaining Allied orders for us? That would be very handy.

Rules clarification about something I noticed a bit late: could Dokhtorov attach that unit, if it was in reserve? The rules say that for an Attach command to work, a unit needs to be in the same position as the corps it attaches to.

Just to confirm, entering the first locale does count as a reinforcement's first move, like Gutter Owl assumed?
