I've done some brief internet research into Liebertwolkwitz and Mockern - and it produced something interesting I thought I would share.
Liebertwolkwitz and Mockern are one of a very few major engagements to feature effective Prussian cavalry charges in the liberation / 100 days period.
They also form a part of the battle of Leipzig - which is the key battle of the liberation period.
Comparing the orbats against the named regiments in the battle descriptions, illustrates all the regiments named as participating in the main Prussian cavalry charges came from corp reserve formations, not from brigade integral cavalry
This is interesting, as it forms an evidential repost to my friend and club mate blucher (Jon), for a debate which we have been having for many years now, and which has popped up in this forum obliquely twice.
in short, he argues that the Prussian Brigade Regulations prove that integrated Cavalry (including Cuirassier) were central to the Prussian use of cavalry post 1812, with the logical follow on, that Prussians should be allowed lots of cavalry and infantry on the table at once.
He cites the famous brigade regulations diagram (there is a link @ 5 posts above this one).
I argue this was an organisational not a tactical regulation - and that when battle was joined, all bar the light cav were pulled into corp reserves, so you can't have lots of cavalry on the table just by being Prussian 1812-1815.
so my swift bit of internet research produced this:
I went through the listed orbats - noting which units were specificed as already detached into corp reserves (inlcluding the advance guard), and which were listed as still remaining with their individual brigades (consider these Brigades as a normal Division, BTW, it makes a lot more sense if you do)
At one point the Newmark Dragoons are reported charging followed by the Silesian Cuirassiers - the former of these were attached to the 11th brigade (and it was their general who lead the charge), but the cuirassier came from that brigade's cavalry reserve, which to me strongly suggests that these dragoons had also been attached to the corp cavalry reserve once the battle was joined.
Further, this charge itself, was to support that of the Russian lifeguard cossacks, as part of the main allied cavalry counter attack against Murat's grand cavalry charge - again, reinforcing the perception that this was a charge from a cavalry reserve, and not from an integrated brigade support regiment.
All of the other named Prussian cavalry regiments charging came from formations specifically listed in the orbats as being in a reserve formation.
there is one named exception at Mockern I quote directly-
"Battalions of the 1st and 3rd Marine Infantry Regiment formed squares and attempted to halt the Prussians. But the Mecklenburg hussars took them from the rear while from the front attacked Prussian infantry"
These are the Mecklembourg-Strelitz Hussar Regiment (4 sq.) from 2nd Brigade of Yorck's 1st corp - which remained as that brigade's cavalry during the battle.
This is at a separate point in the battle - the French cavalry under Murat are now blown and out of the picture - which makes operating with small numbers of brigade-attached light (or unreliable landwher) cavalry much more practical.
Note in particular, that this is a description of a combined arms attack on infantry in square - the hussars have forced the French into square, and then timed their attack to coincide with the infantry.
well done corps commander Yorck and GM Prinz Karl von Mecklembourg-Strelitz, I say.
This is doubly interesting for Lasalle players in the context of this thread because it illustrates an historic example of how to properly make a combined arms attack with troops from within a constituent brigade.
And guess what - the AB allows (IIRC) a regiment of landhwer cavalry as part of the basic formation for this army in the liberation period. (only one being pretty accurate when you count squadrons in the orbats - nice one Sam, again).
So if someone comes at your with a liberation Prussian force, and has that one natural landwhere cavalry jumping on you with infantry at the same time - well, you should congratulate him for knowing his history as well as playing the game well !
However, if someone attempts to argue that because there is an organic Prussian light cavalry brigade (again IIRC), that this should be fine to allow the sort of attack which Cam describes in his post above (and which is all perfectly legal, it has to be said), where players are alternating units of cavalry and infantry and cavalry and infantry under the command of the CnC like a checkerboard and with no regard to the brigades they are listed under in the AB itself - and if that player argues this is also historically allowed citing Leipzig / Liebertwolkwitz / Mockern as an example, or if they simply point to the well known theoretical deployment per brigade, as blucher did, why you can challenge them on their history !
Should they quite rightly point out that it is allowed under the rules - you must then graciously conceed this, but suggest that morally, they must buy the beer after the game.
