In the present issue, we once more delve into the Campaign of 1806. This time we look at the Battle of Saalfeld as viewed by the future Marshal Foch in 1908, a few years before WWI. Marshal Foch analyzes the battle from the grand tactical point of view and shows how Marshal Lannes (perhaps the best of Napoleon's marshals with Davout and Massena) prepared his battle which Lannes won with only part of his Corps and the principles involved in the battle. (Lannes apparently felt he did not have enough space to deploy the entire Vth Corps but that is another story.) Then, by quoting the King of Prussia in a memorandum to his army in 1813, Marshal Foch shows us how these principles had been understood and put to go use by the Prussian Army. We hope that you will find it as interesting as we have. Of course, we also present the second part of Neither Caesar nor Punchinello, The Army of the Kingdom of Italy in the 1812 Campaign in Russia. Then, the theorists are going to be pleased with George Nafziger's article on musketry. And let us not forget Mr. Markam who authored Napoleon and the French Revolution. Beginning with our next issue, we are going to present a new series of four articles (one per issue) on the little known Campaign of 1814. The series deals exclusively with the period extending from February 9 to 14, known as the Six Days Campaign. It deals specifically with the Battles of Champaubert, Montmirail, Chateau-Thierry and Vauchamps. Jean Lochet will be presenting the French side and George Nafziger the Allied accounts of the battles. The series will be illustrated with numerous photos of the battle sites taken in December 92/ January 93. Of course, we have much more in store for you.
