Scenario Rules
- To the Sound of the GunsBertrand's orders were to take Blankenfelde in support of Reynier's advance on Gross Beeren. If Bertrand can defeat (i.e. break/eliminate) Tauenzein's IV Corps AND has two (2) unfatigued divisions, 60% of the time he will send one division (two if all three divisions are unfatigued) to Gross Beeren down the Diedersdorf road (B5 from B to A) . The French player may roll once for Bertrand's move after two (2) full turns of cannon fire from the direction of Gross Beeren. Reynier may also expend free rolls in subsequent turns if the roll fails. If the action around Blankenfelde is still in progress when Bulow's troops are scheduled to enter the board, the units may be diverted to Tauenzein's command and enter in the corresponding square A1=A6, A2=A7, etc.) Reynier may freely send units between the A-B and C-D crossing areas.
- Victory PointsThe town of Gross Beeren is worth 100 Victory Points. The Hill west of Gross Beeren and the village of Diedersdorf are worth 25 Victory Points each. The village of Blankenfelde is worth 40/35 Prussian/French Victory Points.
