Spring 1813 Davoult Corps

[jastaV]

In Spring 1813, leaving 1st Corps command Davoult took charge of a detached Corps, (later formally 13th) with duty to conquer Hamburg and screen Main French Army Left side.

I have not informations over this force composition in March April 1813.

thanks in advance for support !

Actually this is a demand about historical informations, so it is more fit in another NCP forum. Modding is about asking how to mod the game,from a technical standpoint.

I'll be moving this thread JastaV, thanks for the good work!

Poor jastaV, his threads are always moved here and there



I have found this letter from Napoleon to Davout, 2 of march 1813. My french is noexistant, so I am not sure, but here seems to be the instrucions to form the force you talk about from units of the I and II corps, but giving free hand to Davout about the specific elements and generals. If you have the OOB of both corps you can pick as Davout did?

The next letter to Davout is dated early june, congratulating Vandamme for taking Hambourg. I will try to check Davout and Beauharnais correspondence to see what I get

My confidence and approach to French, (as with Spanish) is mediated by my home-language analogies with Neo-Latin languages........
That's a good tool for serious misanderstandments!

Unfortunately what WE need is a regiment level detailed OOB!
