4pm Oudinot is closing in from the west, Reynier and his Saxons are coming straight toward the Prussians from the south:

4:30 The Prussian artillery opens fire and the French shoot back: the Ds note the occurrence of "S" (suppressed) results which are temporary "Demoralization" more or less the same as being "disrupted" in a more normal wargame.
Now I guess the Russo-Prussians have to somehow survive being attacked on multiple axes -- I guess some suicidal cavalry charges might work.You cannot view this attachment.

3pm...the French and Saxons face a lot of shiny Prussians and Russians defending the road north to Berlin:

Well, I started this as a refresher in the strange world of OSG Library of Napoleonic Battles, but with a few
card pulls, things might get rough pretty fast in some unusual ways.  Maybe the French and their allies will even beat the Prussians (under an ex-French Marshall) and their allies:

Damn Meng, that's a whole lot of French coming your way! Even their little counters look angry. 

Maybe it's the bad lighting that makes them look so mad.  It just goes to show you how close Napoleon was to winning
with the Armee du Nord in June 1815.

It's 4pm and overall, things look like I might be doing the right things for the French for once -- just doing enough to take all the objectives and then trying to run the clock down while keeping Wellington busy.  Might work:

  The French were off to a slow start and as Wellington I decided to maximize my get over to help Bluecher points and that wasn't such a good idea cuz the French rolled some nice activations and things are looking kinda tight for the Allies at 4:45 or so:

Okay, so I thought the French should say on the defensive and play for time while keeping Wellington busy, but a weird series of activation rolls seemed to be leaving the Allies open to some defeats in detail so...I attacked with the french...maybe a bad idea, but it looked like this:
