Campaign Move 17 – Fog of War

1200-1600 28 July 1813

The lack of contact is causing concern at Davout’s headquarters in Helmstedt.

The French are still recovering following recent battles, and in particular cavalry brigades have suffered casualties and need to regroup before they can undertake further operations. The lack of cavalry recce ability has come at a time when the Prussian corps have withdrawn east.

Davout is concerned that Blucher is planning an offensive in the south, but must locate his corps before he can launch his own attack.
