DougieJ vs Waldi
Waldi vs DougieJ

Hello gents,

I propose to play two PBEM battles simultaneously on the same map.
We both play French and Allies.

Map, Free choice no rivers please.
Ceh, 200
Battle time, 10 hours
Options. see image.

Special rules,
Maximum cannons 200 of which only 50 can be 12pdrs.
Maximum cavalry regiment size of 880 men.
This is to limit the dominance of artillery and large cavalry regiments while promoting more influence of infantry manoeuvres on the battlefield.
I hope somebody is willing to give this a try 

Cheers DJ

Hello Waldi,

Would you like to pick a map ?
I can choose one if you prefer no problem.

You can send me your OOB's and doctrine whenever you are ready

Will you choose a map Waldi ??

[Waldi]

I  suggest"Saluzzo" or "Austerlitz" which do not include rivers, which are maps of 15 km.

OK mate how about Austerlitz played with fine sunny weather and a North South deployment for a change ? (Allies South)

This is an old map and my experience is that they sometimes have order problems, i will run a solo battle to hopefully see that all is well

Edit, ran a solo battle all seems well with this map

Hello gents,

DJ,s deployments are done and the files sent to Waldi, so battle about to commence.

Good luck to Waldi and have fun 

[Waldi]

C'est parti là aussi, en effet ! Deux batailles en une ! Très intéressant.

Hello gents,

Quite a few order problems in these games for both of us 

But the battles are excellent.

Both DJ's French and Allies have attacked at first light in the East, the question is will his attacks do enough to secure victory or will Waldi's counter attacks prove decisive ??

About 4 hours to go and all to play for
