1700-1800
24 July 1813
Table at the start of Move 6
On the left the Polish artillery are in danger from the enemy cavalry
If the Prussians move first, they could move their cavalry to charge the guns in flank
3rd Prussian Corps
Bulow does move first, and he has 7CP
He changes his corps orders from Move to Engage
The artillery unlimber with a field of fire which includes West Marienborn
10 brigade moves through East Marienborn, with 11 brigade in support
Bulow moves to the rear to bring up 12 brigade
XIII French Corps
Poniatowski has 6CP to react to the cavalry threat
He changes his orders from Move to Engage
He moves his lancers to the south to counter the Prussian cavalry
Rule Note
Bulow could either risk a cavalry charge or deploy his corps
He went for the second option.
He would have had to move away from the corps to order the charge
He might have taken out the enemy artillery
Had he failed he widely spread corps would have been at the mercy of Poniatowski
Poniatowski used his turn to redeploy his lancers to counter the Prussian hussars
Both commanders have changed their orders to Engage so that they can skirmish with the enemy in Marienborn.
