Davout
still has major supply problems
His
army is too far east for their supply base at Kassel
To
fully resupply his army he must either retreat or move his base to Eisenbach
To
move his base, and complete resupply, will take four days.
He
has managed to supply all four corps, but only with a couple of day supplies
Rather
than delay longer, he has ordered an attack on Dolstadt
14
corps will threaten Gotha
2,5
and 6 corps will attack Dolstadt
Wittgenstein
has completed his redeployment
All
four corps are close to his supply base at Gotha
All
four have been resupplied with four days supplies
He
is aware that 14th French corps are isolated
He
orders 4th corps to attack them
Although
1st corps is ordered to support them
3rd
and 4th corps are ordered to hold and resupply
1
corps hold and resupply
2
corps hold and resupply
3
corps hold and resupply
4
corps hold, resupply and reorganise
The
Russians suffer a comprehensive defeat at Dolstadt
They
lose 2200 casualties and nine brigades in rout
Their
communications to Gotha are cut
Wittgenstein
orders 2nd and 3rd corps to retreat east
The
French have lost 100 casualties and one brigade in rout
The
Russians have lost 3300 casualties and eight brigades in rout
The
battle of Meiningen has ended in a draw
The
French still hold the city
The
Russians have lost three brigades in rout
The
French have lost 800 casualties
The
