Neys attack at Friedland - GdA in 1807 table set up.


 Following on from the Austerlitz scenario game played out to its finality a few weeks ago, Ben and I are preparing for our next battle, once again leaning heavily on the excellent books of Dr. David Brown. The Battle of Friedland in 1807 proved to be another Napoleonic masterpiece from the Emperor as he took on the mighty Russian adversary once again.


A view down the table towards the Sortlack woods


Several key terrain features can be seen including the Sortlack woods, the outskirts of the villages of Friedland and Sortlack as well as the river Alle.

The excellent map from Dave’s scenario book. I cannot recommend these highly enough.

This should be tremendous fun.
