Dennewitz 1813 map. Prussian dragoons.

The table layout will have two 12' x 6'5" tables plus an additional table of 9' x 5' to cover Rohrbeck and Juteborg in an L shape. Entry points from A-L also placed. There will be seven villages, woods and four "hills" even though it seems the countryside was rolling and the only hill that seems to get a meaningful mention is the one to the NE of Nieder-Gorsdorf. The rules do not allow for a road bonus so the only roads that will feature will be those illustrating the direction of march of Ney's army.  The immediate area around Dennewitz is likely to be congested with both troops and players but that is difficult to avoid. There will be just over 3,000 20mm Napoleonic troops, some of which are still being painted both in the UK, and in Australia by Dan Dunbar.

Most of the research has come from Thierry Louchet's article written in French in 2014. The detailed maps and OOB are more easily understood than the language barrier.

Game to be held in the barn in June 2020.
