A Holding Action

The date is August 28, 1813. The Army of Bohemia has been routed at Dresden by Napoleon himself and the Allied Sovereigns have decided that retreat into Bohemia is the better option. The Prussian Klux’s 9th Brigade (Kleist’s 2nd Prussian Corps) has been ordered by Wittgenstein to act as rearguard and cover the Army’s retreat through the mountains. Urged by Napoleon himself, the Maréchal Gouvion Saint-Cyr is pursuing the Allied with his XIV Corps and finally his 43me Division has caught the retreating Prussians deployed near Leubnitz on the road towards Kulm.
The above narrative is my adaptation of the ‘Holding Action’ scenario described in the C.S. Grant’s book (see previous post) to the Campaign of Leipzig 1813. The orders of battle are taken from the Nafziger's book 'Napoleon at Dresden. The Battle of August 1813’ (The Emperor Press, Chicago, 1994) with a little help from the members of the Benno’s Figures and Napoleon Series Forums, which kindly provided the names of the Prussian commanders.
