Last Saturday, 3rd June, saw me at New Buckenham Historical Wargamers for a game of Shako II in 28mm. The game was to be a scenario based on the Battle of Kalisz 1813. This battle was fought at the tail end of the retreat from Moscow between VII Saxon Corps led by General Reynier and the pursuing Russian advance guard corps under General von Wintingerode.
VII corps were trying to get their forces back over the Prosna river via the bridges in Kalisz while the Russians realising the importance of these bridges were aiming to capture the town.
