Over the holiday period I setup a game at my house based on the Battle of Hanau 1813. We had 6 players on Saturday when we played thru the game. The result was an indecisive draw as the French did not get near to a breakthrough.

The Coalition centre. MacDonald's Corps advancing on their left supported by the Old Guard Chasseurs and the Old Guard Grenadiers preparing for their attack in the distance.

Final position along the Frankfurt highway. Bavarian square under very close HA fire.
Beyond them the Guard Horse Grenadiers have withdrawn disordered.

This weekend I staged a second game of my Hanau 1813 scenario. Five of us took part. I slightly reorganised the OB of the Coalition Army and improved the quality of the Bavarian line infantry so that they were no longer Unreliable.
