Thiessen. The full report

I have uploaded the full Scenario and the After Action Report (AAR) of the combat of Thiessen (September 4, 1813), finished with a French marginal victory of the Bertrand's Italo-Wurttemberg forces over the Bulow's Prussian Army of Silesia. According to Lasalle rule-set, the battle finished in a similar way to the real life, when the Prussians reached their Morale Break level and  failed the subsequent test.

You can watch the development of the battle by following the instructions to use the visor.


Next thing, the combat of Dessau, in the previous days to the battle of Lepzig!
