This retreat, from east to west, passes through Frankfurt, but in front of this city is a quite unexpected army, half formed of former allies of France, the Bavarians of General de Wrede. Bavaria, whose defection is only the last of a long series, is eager to keep its independence and the only possible way is to rally the coalition, forced by the presence of the Austrian corps commanded by Fresnel and Klenau. Thus Napoleon found before him not only an Austrian corps but also the troops supposed to watch it, these two corps forming an army of about 50,000 men, determined to cut the road to the French, convinced that it was only a mob of stragglers and that the task will be easy. De Wrede's was surprised when he realized that he did not have a few stragglers in front of him but the Imperial Guard, commanded by the Emperor himself ... History shows that de Wrede’s bad set up did not hold against the best troops of the time. Although roughed up on the 30th, de Wrede realized on the morning of the 31st that the French had continued their retreat towards Frankfurt, and decided to try again. After a little fighting overnight and in the morning, de Wrede launched another assault around 1 pm. Now, this is your chance to try to do better, either to stop the Guard or to recover some glory on the next day. This is when the game begins. This is complete refit of the 1989 game. New map and counters, all done by Charles Kibler. It simulates the abortive attempt on 30 and 31 October 1813 by the Austro-Bavarians under de Wrede to prevent Napoleon's escape from Germany after the defeat at Leipzig, by blocking him near Frankfurt. The game uses the now robust latest version of the rules, which employs roster sheets and oblong counters to simulate formation changes between line and column. The battle is fought at regimental level at a scale of 250m per hex, and in 30-minute game turns. Losses are recorded on roster sheets, and the rules, in english (the French version will be available on the Pratzen website), are of medium complexity. This new edition also includes the second day battle set up and units, when de Wrede tried to attack the French after the Emperor left. Game System: scale = 250 m/hex; time = 30 min/GT; strength = 300 men/SP (Regimental Size).
