[LEGIO_Desaix]

Someone voted for it...in this case I hate democracy but I have to accept it

[Primergy]

[LEGIO_Desaix]

Here you go...autumn leaves for Primergy.

Fist four images from the Landgrafenberg (map half finished, units done)

The Lichtenhay saxon grenadier regiment between Lutzeroda and Closewitz waiting for french assault. No fog unfortunately, with current CA weather settings either you have it for the whole battle or you don't.



The first battalion (prussians called battalion 5 squadrons) of the Gettkandt Hussars. I do love prussian uniforms in this battle (hussars are awesome like saxon grenadiers variations).



The "40th de ligne" of Suchet's division approaching Closewitz follwing the "13th Legere" chasseurs



Finally, Napoleon watching Lannes's assault from the Napoleonstein on the Landgrafenberg, Augerau's men moving on in the Munthal valley below.

Excellent news.

Will the model scale be 1:10 as with Waterloo?

btw, HB buffs, we really should get together for mp battles (add me steam: DruidUK)

Historical scenario 168 units at 1:8

What if scenario "Brunswick's sends the Guard Division" 191 units at 1:8 (french will commit one more infantry division of Soult).

Nice (and great mod of course), but Davout and Auerstadt would be much more interesting.
But this is just my opinion, great work anyway. Your mod is the best reason to buy Napoleon TW

Austerdat is already there my man

Battle is finished. Some screenshots from the beginning of the fight. Unfortunately little chance to have the thick fog which masked the 5th Corps advance.

1st Hussar acting as Napoleon's Cavalry Guard. The town of Jena is below in the Saale valley.



The gorgeous 3rd Hussar in the Jena outskirt ready to climb the narrow path leading to the plateau of Landgrafenberg.

The 7th Corps of Augerau moving from Jena Along the Alte Strasse (Old Street) towards Isserstaedt.



The saxon Grenadiers Mentsch and Hundt ready to face the french tiralleurs coming up to attack Lutzeroda. The village of Cospeda in on the right.



From the roofs of Closewitz looking towards the french advance. Cospeda on the right while the napolenstein is in the middle.

The 21st Chasseurs à Cheval, just arrived on the Landgrafenberg, galopping to Lutzeroda. The Imperial Guard is on the background.

His Majesty on the windknollen. In the background Gazan's division of Lannes's V corps is moving left of Cospeda.



The map

[Andre J. Jassoch]

Excellent!

[LEGIO_Desaix]

The minimap with victory points (based on french) and delayed arrivals.

Next the starting position. White units are for an "what if" scenario where the Duke of Brunswich, commander in chief at Auerstadt, detaches to Apolda the guard division under Kunheim. To compensate the french can choose to move Leval's division (loosing 1 point) of Soult's IV Corps which arrived late in the afternoon.

Amazing..love those old style hussars hats!

This is absolutely brilliant work. I am amazed at the effort that must've gone into this.

I Implore you to please release these as a single player option, for I just do not play multiplayer at all. I look forward to your map pack as well. Again, this is just an astounding amount of work. Kudos!

You're missing quite an experience. In 2vs2 (best scale to avoid lag) commanding 40-50 units is a rewarding experience, better when played with some house rules like "column to square".
SP is not a problem, you can play hosting a 1vs1 using LAN battle.
But be prepared to lag because the AI struggles enough moving lots of units. On the contrary in 1vs1 or 2vs2 MP there is much less lag if none.
I find little sense to play SP, that's why I put little effort in modding AI behaviour.
