It is just too easy to crush the attacking division against the river. <br /><br />You will be able to read the battle report in a week or so, and you can judge for yourself<br /><br />regards<br /><br />Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-17927971556762620132012-09-14T02:32:50.926+02:002012-09-14T02:32:50.926+02:00I think my comment was not communicated well. The ...I think my comment was not communicated well. The division the russians would be 'giving up' is the one attacking west. Agreed that they are going to be destroyed handily. <br /><br />The divisions I imagined that they would be traded for are the French ones located around Bad Kosen. The Russians are being rather cagey in generating local 2:1 (?) superiority in division numbers to force the crossing to the north. <br /><br />As a CinC I would be fairly happy to lose a division to gain that foothold and likely maim another french corp. If you were looking for further confirmation that is exactly what the russian player intended, just take a look and see if the sacrifice division is his worst one. <br /><br />Davedavebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531919635590898334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-37283998453173273012012-09-13T23:30:47.414+02:002012-09-13T23:30:47.414+02:00I admire your persistence and can also respect you...I admire your persistence and can also respect your considerate tone in response<br /><br />IMHO the C-in-C if present (for the good of his army if not the campaign in the face of a blunder would "take charge" or face the wrath of the Tsar at a later date ;) <br /><br />Thanks for for sharing your games in your blog Geordie an Exiled FoGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002743056274635657noreply@blogger.com
