The War of the Rhabarberian Succession - Campaign Turn 6 Moves

After the two battles of Campaign Turn 5 completed, it was time to go back to the map and figure out the most likely moves by both sides. In the end it was fairly easy given that the Ruthenians had been beaten and forced to retreat from the battlefield. The moves I came up with can be seen below:

An overview of the situation at the end of Campaign Turn 5.

The 'Mexican Stand Off' to the West of Offenburgh.

The Ruthenian 4th Division (blue) in reserve with the Ruthenian 6th Division in retreat.

The Ruthenian 1st Cavalry Regiment & 2nd Division also in retreat. All are being pursued/shadowed by the Prusskian troops.

With the map moves made, I sent these off to Dave & Keith, with information on the state of their troops and then awaited orders. When these came in I interpreted them as best I could and the outcome iof which can be seen below:

An overview of Campaign Turn 6.

The Ruthenian 4th Division has made a tactical withdrawl and has the 3rd & 5th Cavalry Regiments acting as a screen to its front. The Prusskian 2nd Cavalry Regiment & 1st Division have followed but have been unable to catch them and bring them to battle.

The Ruthenian 2nd Division, 6th Division and 1st Cavalry Regiment have tried to concentrate their forces to fend of the impending attacks by the Prusskian troops. A river divides them but fortunately it is fordable due to recent dry weather. However even when combined, their strength is markedly below that of the Prusskian troops.

To give you an idea of the state of both sides, details can be seen below;

Ruthenian
4th Division, 3rd & 5th Cavalry Regiments - all at full strength. (Not in combat).

1st Cavalry Regiment - 2 Squadrons.
2nd Division - 2 Infantry Brigades.
6th Division - 4 Infantry Battalions & 2 Artillery Batterys. 

Prusskian
1st Division - at full strength with attached Light Infantry Battalion & 2nd Cavalry Regiment - at full strength. (Not in combat).

3rd Division - less 1 Infantry Brigade.
4th Cavalry Regiment - at full strength.
5th Division - less 1 Infantry Brigade. 
6th Cavalry Regiment - 2 Squadrons. 

A 'Gotterdammerung' battle is certainly on the cards to the East of Offenburgh, the result of which will most likely decide the outcome of the Campaign. Unfortunately for the Ruthenians the terrain is not ideal from a defensive point of view, being largely open grassland, with some fences and a few woods. However "It's not over until the Fat Lady sings" as they say...
