21 March 1813 – Central Germany – End of Erfurt Campaign

Battles fought during campaign phase

Davout won four of the six battles fought, including the final one

Wittgenstein won the remaining two

 

Davout took and held the city of Erfurt and therefore won the campaign

 

The campaign started on 18 August 2020 and ended on 27 December 2020

 

During this campaign we experimented with finding a new role for the CinC.   Previously he had only given orders to each of the corps commanders

We allowed him to take command of one or more brigades to form a reserve

This added a new, and welcome, element to the wargames.

Erfurt Region

Weinstein ordered his army to retreat to Gera

He established his headquarters in the city

 

Davout ordered his army to deploy around Erfurt

He moved his headquarters to the city
