1813 Campaign Summer Negotiation
Listen now
Description
In the aftermath of our Spring 1813 Napoleonic campaign, Napoleon and Tsar Alexander meet for a heated negotiation. Many issues are on the table as both sides jockey for advantage in the Fall. Will any cities be swapped? Will Napoleon evacuate his stranded fortress garrisons? Can the French tempt Austria into remaining neutral? What about the lesser German states and the Saxons? To mediate our talks, we're joined by two expert Napoleonic historians. Professor Alexander Mikaberidze and Dr. Zack White join the show to lend historical background and take an active role mediating our wargame.  Be sure to join us on YouTube in the weeks ahead for the conclusion of the 1813 campaign to see how our version of events unfolds in the Fall season! Napoleon may have suffered a major defeat historically, but our wargame is not destined to follow the same path. Subscribe and join us! We also want to thank both of our guest historians. You can find Professor Mikaberidze's latest book on Field Marshal Kutuzov on Amazon, among other vendors. And you can listen to great historical analysis from Dr. Zack White on his podcast, The Napoleonic Wars Podcast. Check it out!
