Notes on Game
13 French are an elite brigade with superior skirmishers
8 Prussian are a landwehr brigade with inferior skirmishers
Reynier orders an Attack rather than a Skirmish to clear the town
This means the French will charge and melee, rather than hold back and skirmish
The landwehr are pushed back, but not routed.
Fighting in build up areas are covered in wargame rule 10
