Thought it was time for an update and an image... Above is the map illustration taken from 'Napoleon's German allies: Saxony 1806 - 1815' (von Pivka, O 1979) Not sure who di the illustration, guess it was probably the author... As I'm on a roll here are the orders of battle as listed in the fantastic 'Napoleon's Invasion of Russia' (Nazfiger, G Presido Press 1988) Saxony: Generalmajor Klengel. Konig Infantry Regiment (2 battalions), Niesmeuschel Infantry Regiment (2 Battalions), Prinz Clemen Uhlan Regiment (3 squadrons), and the regimental artilery - 2 batteries each 2X4pdrs.
Russia: In the North (road to Pruszana) Lt Col Matadov, Alexandria Hussar Regiment (2 sqds), Cossacks (1 Sotnia).
Second wave: Alexandria Hussar Regiment (2 sqds), Starodoub Dragoon Regiment (2 sqds).
In the West: (Road to Antopol) Pavlovgrad Hussar Regiment (8 sqds), 13th Jager Regiment
In the South: (Road to Bulkovo and Brest) Starodoub Dragoon Regiment (2 sqds), Tver Dragoon Regiment (2 sqds), 19th Jager Regiment, 14th Jager Regiment.
In the next blog I will look at composition and numbers for the Saxon forces as there doesn't seem to be any conflicting views on who was there. The Russian list seems much more complicated as I've read different accounts about which troops were there, who was in command and the times they arrived at... I will return to them at a later date but for now the Nazifger list seems a good place to start....
