Fictional 1807 battle for 9 players, French vs Russians & Prussians. Developed by David M. Ensteness in 2014 for testing ESR,
provided freely for personal, non-commercial use.
This scenario was used during the play testing of ESR to provide for a mid-sized game. Table size was 14’ by 6’ and ground scale used
was 1” = 75 yards. Thus the total battlefield was 7 miles by 3 miles. The dark gray areas are elevated terrain, otherwise: woods, roads,
a major river, small villages, one town, there were some small tributaries we used as ‘rough’.
In our games the Russians *always* chose to setup grand batteries and they were incredibly deadly against head-on attacks. The
result was an aggressive French army commander chewed up their own divisions quickly. However, once taken the Russians had no
artillery for use anywhere… The scenario typically ran between 5-6 hours with mostly new players, couple experienced players (one to
two per side). A game host could lessen the effectiveness of artillery by declaring ‘snow’.

commanders (all D+0) and may form up to 3x grand batteries prior to the game by stripping guns from their divisions,
these are marked on the map and setup by the game host, i.e. They don’t get to see the game table (and the French
setup) prior to placing the grand batteries…

Napoleon has 2x ADCs with him, both of whom may command grand batteries, both rated B+1. The Guard begins the
game on ‘reserve’ and may only be released if an enemy division comes within 6” of Napoleon or 12” of their position. No
you may not move Napoleon toward the enemy to force the Guard to be released from reserve… yes, attaching Napoleon
to a division and attacking with it is allowed, though ridiculous, unless that division breaks, no the Guard stay on reserve.
