Pre Game and Part I of the Lutzen Photographic Battle Report
Pre Game Lutzen Battlefeild
As my gaming table is 6'x8', I have "cut" off the 6th foot by using a river
(which you can see running down the right hand side of the table in the first
picture below). This gives a nice staging area for French troops about to
enter the game.
For a look at how I created the table check out the How to make a Felt Table page.

Part I (Go to Part II)
This is Part I of the Lutzen Battle Report. Unfortunately, Shawn was not able available for Allied Wing Commander responsibilities on Saturday. This gave me even more troops to move (who is notoriously slow as it is!) As a result, we were only able to get through 15:30 (we are about to start the Allied 16:00 turn). No worries as the table is still set up at my house and we will finish up the battle very soon.
I'm a little disappointed in the pictures for this session and will endeavor to get more close ups for Part II (Scheduled for this Sunday, September 5th).

At 7:00 am, a very groggy Curtis, Casey and Joe got together at my house to
re-fight the Battle of Lutzen. With coffee mugs in hand, Casey and I
started deploying our troops. Casey provided all of Ney's III Corps while
Joe provided the rest of the French forces. All allied troops are mine.

A Brief discussion on Part I:
So far the battle has been a blast! The allies had some terrible setbacks
early in the game which has had no small impact on how the middle game has
played out. Instead of Defending all four towns in the center after a
quick rout of the French Provisionals, I had to spend a considerable amount of
time to fight for two of them and have no hope of capturing the 4th. Those
two French Provisional brigades deserve the French equivalent of the "Medal of
Honor". They shut down my advance on the right as well as made me hesitate
in other areas. Another MVP was the lone French Cavalry brigade that
slowed me down so often in the early game. Casey did a great job of
keeping it alive and thus a threat to any overly ambitious moves on my part.
