The battle of Gohrde is finished!
The battle (or combat) of Göhrde has finished with the total rout of the tiny Pecheux's force. The French 50th division has suffered a 48.5% of losses, very similar to the 50% suffered in the real world.
The losses (1,950 men and 8 guns) included 810 prisoners (the wounded Pecheux amongs them) and two generals dead. However, the French inflicted 1,530 losses on the Wallmoden's Corps, mainly to the Russo-German Legion and the Von Lutzow FreiKorps. 
As a curiosity, the Bennigsen Battalion did not take part in the battle (they arrived late) and the British Rocket Corps were only able to launch a rocket round in the last stages of the battle.

I would say that, at least from the first playtest, your simulation came close to the historical encounter.
ReplyDeleteRafa - It sounds like the French put up a decent fight but a shame that the British rocket troop arrived late after you made such a great model!
