Battle of Bauershof des Tigres.
This was an MP game played Friday 10 July with 5 players teamed as the French co-operatively against the Austrian AI using 1809 armies.
The French Corps of 4 divisions began the battle in the area of Franks Kreuzung and advanced SE. An Austrian corps of 4 or 5 divisions was defending Hampton Muhle, Bauershof (the objective) and north-east of there N of Sietsame Brucke. The French left attacking near Seitsame was destroyed but it occupied 3 Austrian divisions and allowed mine and Gen. Legrand's divisions to take the objective.
All the images are taken facing E, SE and S and are on the axis of the blue arrow as my division pushes against the fortified farm. Legrand was on my right (south).
My artillery unlimbers and supporting a heavy skirmish screen defeats a counter attack out of the orchard by two Grenzer battalions:
My division attacks with one brigade, keeping the second in reserve (not seen in these pictures). A Leger battalion skirmishes near some woods on my far left flank and a line battalion moves up. In the orchard more Leger continue the firing line.
Moving further right a long and messy cavalry melee blocked the advance of Legrand's division for half an hour. My right was held back here as well.
Back on my left flank the Austrians begin to crumble.
Finally the orchard is cleared, Austrian artillery and cavalry driven off and a Baden brigade passes through my chasseurs to storm the farm.
