24 April 1813 – North Germany

Blucher redeploys 1^st and 3^rd corps to counter French advance in the centre

He is not prepared to attack Napoleon in the centre

But he does order 4^th corps to move within attack distance of 13^th Polish corps

The French supply system is disorganised by the move forward.   Napoleon orders his corps to resupply, but there is insufficient supplies available for all to do so.   In particular the 1^st corps is at present out of range of supplies.   The depot at Wulfsburg will not be operational until midnight, and the other three depot are out of range.   1^st corps is down to one days supplies.
