The Sixth Coalition had a policy of avoiding combat with Napoleon directly. Since the Emperor was fighting on interior lines, the Sixth Coalition Commanders did not know where Napoleon would emerge with his reserves. The Russian 9 th Corps therefore will be held back until Langeron is able to identify the cavalry and infantry moving toward Wiederitzsch. On the 4:00pm turn the French player decides to start the baseline appearance of the 23e Confederation Cavalrie followed by the 9 th Infantry division or delay this baseline appearance. If the French player decides to delay the baseline appearance, it has the following effect on the Coalition Baseline Appearance.
