1.0 INTRODUCTION La Bataille de Vauchamps is a tactical Napoleonic game of the battle that was fought on 14 February 1814 between French forces under Napoleon Bonaparte and the Coalition Forces of the Army of Silesia under General Blücher, part of the “6 Days of Glory Campaign”.

At the beginning of 1814, the armies of the French Empire, under the direct command of Emperor Napoleon I, were scrambling to defend Eastern France against the invading Coalition Armies. Despite fighting against vastly superior forces, Napoleon managed to score a few significant victories and, between 10 and 13 February had repeatedly beaten Blücher’s “Army of Silesia”. On 13 February, reeling from his successive defeats, Blücher looked to disengage from Napoleon and instead maneuver with a part of his forces to fall upon the isolated Corps of Marshal Auguste de Marmont, who was defending Napoleon’s rear. The Prussian commander attacked and pushed back Marmont, late on 13 February. Nevertheless, the Emperor had read into his enemy’s intentions and directed powerful forces from the Guard to support Marmont.

On the morning of 14 February, Blücher, commanding a Prussian Corps and elements of two Russian Corps, resumed his attack against Marmont. The latter continued to fall back until he was reinforced. Napoleon arrived on the battlefield with strong combined-arms forces, which allowed the French to launch a determined counterattack and drive back the leading elements of the “Army of Silesia”. Blücher realized that he was facing the Emperor in person and decided to pull back and avoid another battle against Napoleon. In practice, Blücher's attempt to disengage proved extremely difficult to execute, as the Coalition force was by now in an advanced position, had virtually no cavalry present to cover its retreat and was facing an enemy who was ready to commit its numerous cavalry.

6.0 SPECIAL RULES 6.1 The French VI Corps 6.1.1 On the turn they enter Marmont has placed all the VI Corps in command. The Corp’s 3rd and 8th Divisions have two different Orders of Battle depending on different historical references. 6.1.2 The units noted with an “H” on their counters are based on General Marmont’s muster letter from 1900 hours the night before the battle. 6.1.3 The units noted with an “A” are the Alternate OOB from other historical references. Game Play Note: This OOB has significantly more strength than the “H” OOB and is thus easier to play for the French Player. 6.1.4 The units noted with a “B” are used in both OOB’s. 6.1.5 Before the game starts, players must agree to which OOB for this Corps they will use and thus which French OOB Chart the French Player will use. Game Play Note 1: The 3rd Division has two different commanders shown for the OOBs because General Legrange had been seriously wounded a few days earlier and it is not clear if he had recovered for this battle. Game Play Note 2: Both OOBs are depicted on the French Order of Battle Charts, one on one side of the sheet and the other on the reverse. 6.2 Surprise Historical Note: General Ziethen has prepared his troops to continue the attack against Marmont the morning of the battle. Thus it came as a surprise to the Prussians when Marmont’s forces appeared to their front aggressively on the offensive. 6.2.1 On the 9:00am turn, all Prussian 11. & Hacke’s Brigade units have a -9 DRM to their morale checks. 6.2.2 On the 9:20am turn, all Prussian 11. & Hacke’s Brigade units have a -6 DRM to their morale checks. 6.2.3 On the 9:40am turn, all Prussian 11. & Hacke’s Brigade units have a -3 DRM to their morale checks. 6.2.4 There is no modifier for surprise from 10:00am onwards, 6.3 Ground Conditions Game Play Note: The ground in this battles area was soaked with water from previous rains. The cold temperatures at night would freeze the ground, making it less difficult to move upon in the morning, but once the sun heated up the ground, movement became more difficult except on roads and in the towns.. 6.3.1 Before a player moves any units of a division (French or Russian) or Brigade (Prussian) he must make a roll on the Ground Effects Table to see how much each type of unit’s MA that is part of the formation is reduced. 6.3.2 Any non-divisional / brigade units may either be attached to one of the formations or they will have a single separate die roll performed for each individual unit that moves. 6.3.3 The movement reduction is dependent on the current Game Turn’s time and the type of unit, cross-referenced with the die roll. The negative value is the amount that the unit’s MA is reduced by. An NE means no-effect. 6.3.4 Any unit that starts in or assumes (at the very beginning of its movement) Road March formation and only moves along roads and/ or travelling through town / village hexes does not have its MA reduced by this roll. La Bataille de Vauchamps

6.3.5 French 9:00am Turn Special Exception. All units entering the map on the Movement Phase of the 9:00am turn do not have to roll for ground movement reduction (they have their full MA available). Historical Note: This takes account their earlier movements and approach to Vauchamps. 6.3.6 A unit or stack of units that must perform rout movement must also modify their rout move distances by making a roll on this table. a. If the routing units are a cavalry stack, the result applies to each unit’s individual rout move MA. b. Do not apply this movement reduction to the rout move of a unit or units that failed to form a Square. 6.3.7 Force March and Ground Effects. The roll for Ground Effects is performed after the player choses to perform Forced March, and it is the modified MA of the unit that is doubled. 6.3.8 Cavalry Charge and Ground Effects. Before beginning the charge move of a cavalry unit or stack, he must perform a roll of the Ground Effects Table to see how much each unit’s movement is reduced. 6.3.9 (Optional) Prior to game start, both players may agree that these movement reduction rolls will be performed for each unit. 6.3.10 Melee Effects: A melee assault that occurs upslope or across a stream will be shifted one column to the left before being resolved. 6.4 Coalition Formation Activation This rule applies only to scenario 2 6.4.1 The Coalition Forces that begin on the eastern map near Champaubert may not move until they have been activated. 6.4.2 After the first artillery fire attack is made in the game, the Coalition player makes a single die roll and references the Coalition Activation Table to determine when these forces can start being activated. Example: On the 9:00am turn, the French player attacks Zeithen’s forces with his artillery. The Coalition player rolls a die with a result of 5. Consulting the Coalition Activation Table, he sees that is a 2-turn delay, so he will be able to begin activations on the 9:40am turn. If the result had been a 1, he could start activations after the last French move of the 9:00am turn. If the result had been a 2-4, he could start activations after in the 9:20am turn. 6.4.3 Each turn one Russian Corps or Prussian Brigade may be activated (Coalition player’s choice), the Coalition announces which formation at the start of the turn. 6.4.4 Blücher and his staff activate with the Prussian 10. Brigade. 6.4.5 Kleist, his staff & the Corps Reserve Artillery activate with the Prussian 12. Brigade. 6.5 Coalition Restrictions 6.5.1 Stacking: Prussian and Russian units may not end up stacked together in the same hex voluntarily. a. If stacked together due to rout or retreat, the Coalition player must perform a morale check for all units in the hex. They are affected by a -12 DRM to this morale check. 6.5.2 Prussian and Russian artillery may not combine together to fire at the same target hex. 6.6 Coalition Withdrawal (Optional – Historical & Pro-French) Blücher did not want to engage in another battle with Napoleon and once he realized that he was facing Napoleon again, he ordered his troops to disengage and withdraw. The regular game allows the Coalition player full control of his troops. With this rule, some of this control is sacrificed to provide a more historically accurate game. 6.6.1 Ziethen’s 11. Infantrie Brigade and Hacke’s Cavalry Brigade a. Starting two turns after the turn in which artillery fires for the first time, the Coalition player rolls a die during the Command Phase for both of these brigades (separately) and consults the Withdrawal Table for the result. b. Apply a +1 DRM for each turn that a roll has already been made for that brigade. c. If the result says “withdraw” the on-map units of the brigade must move towards their Depot (Champaubert). Each activation a unit must expend at least half of its modified MA moving in that direction. d. The Coalition player may end this mandated movement for s unit once it is closer to Champaubert than another friendly unit that is not part of either of these two brigades. e. One unit may be left behind in Vauchamps as a rearguard. f. One unit may be left behind in La Boularderie as a rearguard. 6.6.2 Coalition Army Withdrawal a. The turn after the Old Guard Infantry Division has arrived on the map; the Coalition play must begin rolling for each Prussian Brigade and Russian Division on the map and consult the Withdrawal Table. Any non-divisional / brigade units that are within 2-hexes of any of the units of the formation being rolled for are included in this roll’s result. b. If the result is “Continue Normally” the formation can act as the Coalition player desires for the turn. c. If the result is “Withdraw” the units of this formation from this turn onwards until the end of the game must move towards their depot (Champaubert) and then exit the map from there. Each activation a unit must expend at least half of its modified MA moving in that direction. 6.7 Guard Artillery (Optional – Historical & Pro-French) Design Note: The Guard Artillery did participate slightly in the battle by forming a Grand Battery and firing on the withdrawing Coalition forces between La Boularderie and Champaubert. A Guard Artillery Table is used to inflict hits with the following rules. 6.7.1 This rule must be agreed by both players before the game starts. 6.7.2 Once the Old Guard Cavalry Division is on the map, the French Player can roll for hits on Coalition Forces under the following restrictions. a. Only Coalition units that are east of La Boularderie and west of Champaubert may be targeted. b. The Coalition Units must be within 6 hexes of a Guard Cavalry Division unit (excluding the Garde d’Honneur) 6.7.3 Roll on the Guard Artillery Table. This will give between 0 and 4 attacks to be made. La Bataille de Vauchamps a. The number below the roll is the number of Coalition hexes that may be targeted during this turn’s Artillery Fire Phase. b. The French Player may select that number of clear terrain hexes containing Coalition Infantry. If the infantry it the target hex is in square formation the fire attack is performed on the 3:1 column, if they are not in square the attack is performed on the 2:1 column. c. Resolve any hits and morale checks normally. 6.8 Reinforcements 6.8.1 Each scenario will list where and when any reinforcement units are to enter the game. 6.8.2 Reinforcements are moved onto the map during the owning player’s movement phase. 6.8.3 If the entry hex is occupied by an enemy unit or an enemy ZOI, then the reinforcement may enter within 5 hexes either side of the entry point. If the extended 5-hex zone is also either occupied or in a ZOI of enemy units, extended the entry zone another 5 hexes from the first zone with a turn (20 minute) delay to the entry time. 6.8.4 If the entry hex is not a road hex, then a unit entering must adopt an appropriate formation for the type of terrain of the first hex they enter onto the map (i.e. General Order if the first hex is a forest or town). a. If the entry is via a road hex, the units may enter in Road March Column if desired. b. Units entering in clear terrain may use every formation but Road March and General Order. 6.8.5 All units entering the map are subject to the stacking rules, and may be subject to opportunity fire. 6.8.6 Since reinforcements enter during the Movement Phase, reinforcing cavalry may not charge onto the board. 6.8.7 French Entry Hexes: There are French reinforcement entry areas denoted on the map by the French Flag symbol on the map border and a letter code. The entry hexsides for that letter code have a dashed blue line. French units entering at that entry area may enter into any of the partial or full hexes of that entry area, paying the cost to enter that hex from off-map. 6.9 Skirmish / Rifles The Silesian Schützen are rifle armed and not halved at two hex range; they fire at x4 when adjacent, x3 at two hexes and x2 at three-hexes. 6.10 Old Guard All units of the 1ere Old Guard Infantry Division are considered Old Guard. 6.11 Forced March 6.11.1 During the friendly Movement Phase, a player may declare a division (French or Russian) or brigade (Prussian) whose Command Morale Level is at zero, and all units that are part of it are in Good Order, to Force March. 6.11.2 Force March is conducted by complete divisions or brigades (Prussian), not by individual units or parts of larger formations. 6.11.3 Procedure a. Select a division (or Prussian Brigade) b. Move all its units. Every unit that is not cavalry or horse artillery can move up to double its MA. c. Upon completion of the movement of all the units of the formation, make a single 2d6 roll that is used as the die roll for all morale checks that each non-cavalry / horse artillery unit of the formation must now perform. d. Only a -6 DRM and the formation Leader’s morale DRM apply for this check. e. Units that fail this morale check are marked disrupted (they do not conduct retreat as a result of disruption) 6.11.4 Units conducting a Force March must begin this march in Column or Road March formation. 6.11.5 A unit that is force marching may not enter an enemy’s normal ZOI. 6.11.6 Units may not make a formation change while force marching. 6.11.7 A -12 DRM applies to its morale check if Opportunity charged or for a pre-melee check. 6.11.8 The unit may not perform offensive fire combat or make a melee assault during the turn it Forced Marches. 6.11.9 For each successive turn after the first successful Force March an additional -6 morale check DRM applies (i.e. 2nd Turn: -12 DRM, 3rd Turn - 18 DRM). 6.12 Cavalry Skirmish Order There is no cavalry skirmish order allowed 7.5 Starting Positions 7.0 Scenario 1: The Battle of Vauchamps Coalition: deployed in area “Z” The Prussian Infantrie Regiments must be broken down into their 7.1 Introduction component Bataillons and only one infantrie Bataillon may be The initial attack of Marmont on Ziethen and Hacke. deployed per hex in the setup area.
