|---|---|---|---|---|
| 23 June 1812 | Crossing the Niemen | We successfully captured the far bank of the Niemen, but encountered stronger resistance than expected from Russian jager and hussars. The sailors held the beach and the Spanish worked around the Russian flank and we held on. | img_20230323_112339.jpg img_20230324_142159.jpg img_20230324_142147.jpg | +3 victory points, 1 wagon, and 4 sacks of supplies. |
| 29 June 1812 | Interlude: The Storm | I tried to look after my men through the huge storm that broke over the army as we advanced from the Niemen. But the weather was atrocious and it made for a miserable night, especially for the wounded, and I woke to find Bertrand has died from his wounds. | -1 wounded man died. | |
| 17 July 1812 | Pursuit | I approached a Russian village with 2 other companies of the 13e Legere. Russian infantry and cossacks began pouring out of the village, but we held them off with some quick manoeuvring into squares and aggressive musketry. They fled the field and we captured the cossack leader. Hopefully he can be 'persuaded' to tell us what the Russian army is up to. | img_3004.jpg img_3007.jpg img_3011.jpg img_3014.jpg | +2 victory points, and 7 sacks of supplies. |
| 17 August 1812 | Smolensk | I supported a large force of Wurttemberg as they assaulted the suburbs of Smolensk, but the Russians were too strong and we were pounded by their artillery despite working our way through the village for cover, where I took a minor wound when the company was hit by a volley from the Russian musketeers. Beaten back we retreated. | img20240611115805.jpg img20240702142208.jpg img20240702163206.jpg | 0 victory points. |
