Duben on way (III)

The Russians are retiringThe combat of Düben is developing in a similar way to the real thing. The Russians are maintaining the advancing French-Saxon vanguard at a respectable distance, whereas their baggage wagon train is ponderously advancing and almost has reached the safe exit-point of the table.
It is raining now, and the terrain has become mud, so all units are now moving at reduced speed. This fact, united to the late arrival of the French reinforcements and the traffic jam in the bridge over the Mulde River, all are leading towards an almost sure French failure and a subsequent Russian success.

The Saxon Uhlans retiring You can see above the retreat, to the second line, of the almost broken Saxon Prinz Clemens Uhlan Regiment, after suffering a strong Russian bombardment during several turns.
We are only at two Russian turns from the game end, marked by the baggage wagon train leaving the table. Only several additional turns and the end of the rain, could avoid the French failure and the Emperor's anger!
