Battles in Germany
Since 1 March 1813 the French and allied armies in Germany
and Spain have fought a total of 58 battles.
The French have won 25 and drawn 4.
Both they and the allied armies are weary and in urgent need of rest,
reorganisation, resupply and reinforcements.
On 5 April 1813 Napoleon proposed an armistice for seven
days in order to allow consideration of peace proposals. The allies promptly accepted his proposal.
For Napoleon there was the added problem in Germany of
national resistance. They regarded this
as a War of Liberation. Throughout the
area he occupied there was widespread opposition and aggression towards the
French. As a result he was forced to
retreat to Westphalia to shorten his lines of communication and to impose some
discipline on the local population.
Battles in Spain
This phase of the PBEM campaign started on 21 February 2015
and finished on 9 February 2016.
I would like to thank all who took part in what was, for
me, a very enjoyable campaign.
