18 April 1813 - South Germany



Having lost the battle of Konigsfeld, Oudinot orders his army to concentrate at Wurzburg
In doing so he has abandoned his depots at Konigsfeld, Bischofsheim and Rottenberg
9th and 11th corps are both out of supply and each lose 400 men to attrition.   The Bavarian supply system is now in serious trouble

Austrians occupy Konigsfeld and secure two days supplies in the depot   
Schwartzenberg orders his army to advance to Bischofsheim-Konigsfeld-Rotenberg
He must reorganise his supply system before he can pursue the enemy
