Hagelberg. A Scenario for Lasalle

In order to see if Lasalle is the more adequate set to fight small engagements, I am devising a Scenario about the battle of Hagelberg. The battle was fought between the French Girard’s Garrison (or Division) of Magdeburg and the Prussian Hirschfeld corps. Both seides were composed from 2nd-line units, and the final result was a total French defeat. I did fought this Scenario using 'divisional' Napoleon's Battles two years ago (see the entry Battle of Hagelberg and NBd in this blog or Hagelberg (1813) in the main web-site).

The OOB's are:

  1. Hi Rafa,

    I can not tell from your OB if you fit it into the Army Builder or if you used an historical OB?

    Look forward to seeing the AR.

  2. Hi John
    Is a historical scenario. I have not used the Army Builder. I am now considering that maybe it is too complex for a first try of the rules, so maybe I'll use only part of the forces.

  3. It seems from my reading that a lot of stress is placed on the balance of forces in the rules. I think this is why I stayed away from a historical scenario initially.

  4. Yes, the Army Builder forces lead to balanced scenarios for competition. Hagelber is a 'historical' scenario. Theoretically it is biased against Prussians but actually they won!
