13 July 1813 – Central Germany



The Russian Army is short of supplies, but their lines of supply are short.   Wittgenstein has gathered sufficient supplies at Rudolstadt to provide each corps with two days supplies.  He has rallied both 1st and 4th corps.    He has also reorganised each corps to concentrate his infantry casualties in one brigade.  

Davout has ordered all available supplies to Erfurt, and has managed to bring all four corps up to four days supplies.   He has also ordered the closure of the depot at Thuringen and movement of all supplies to Gamstadt.   He has sufficient supplies but must move them closer to his army.
