  Battle of Eylau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Eylau, fought on 7-February 8, 1807, was a bloody and inconclusive contest between the forces of Napoléon and a mostly Russian army under General Bennigsen.
Eylau was the first serious check to the French Grande Armée, which in the previous two campaigning seasons had carried all before it, demolishing the armies of the established great powers of Europe at Austerlitz in December 1805 (Austria assisted by Russia), and Jena-Auerstedt (Prussia) in October 1806.
Eylau was not the decisive victory characteristic of Napoleon's earlier campaigns, prolonging the war with Russia until the Battle of Friedland forced Czar Alexander I to the peace table.

 INS Scholarship 1997: The Battle of Eylau
It is not possible that at that moment the great army commander did not reproach himself for allowing the corps of Ney and Davout to be removed for such a distance from the army as they were and did not become annoyed that fate had left him without Bernadotte's corps on such a decisive day.
A portion of the cavalry and artillery situated on our right and in the center moved to the left as well, which the enemy forces were forcing to fall back towards the center, already suffering from the fire of batteries deployed behind the stone walls of the city.
At Eylau remained at their previous stations the divisions of Lewal and Legrand; but 4 light cavalry brigades moved forward to the Altdorf stream to keep lines of communication opened with Ney who was approaching Altdorf.

Another column of Russian infantry, between four and six thousand strong, penetrated into the very streets of Eylau itself, and at one point were dangerously near to the Emperor and it's staff, who had been using the church bell tower as a vantage point.
Alarums of this type were sufficient to prove the weakness of the French center and the peril in which it stood, and it behooved Napoleon to resort to an extreme expedient to retrieve the situation.
Napoleon had good cause to be grateful to his cavalry arm, which now, perhaps for the first time in the history of the Grande Armee, came indisputably into its own as a finely tempered and practically irresistible battle weapon.

 Myth & Glory
In the painting of the French Grenadiers a Cheval at Eylau, Detaille shows the stalwart Grenadiers receiving Russian cannon fire in firm ranks wearing only their tunics, with their cloaks still rolled on their portmanteaus.
They stand in a few centimeters of snow mounted on sweating horses while their commander, Colonel Lepic tells his troopers to hold their heads up saying that they are being assailed by cannonballs not turds.
The work of another military artist, F. Schommer also shows the French Guard Grenadiers a Cheval charging (sic) into battle, once again they are dressed for a ride in the park, and once again they dash across a sprinkling of snow which seems to have collected more on their bearskin bonnets than on the ground.

Subject: Eylau (Avalanche Press) first impressions I've been playing Avalanche Press's (ex-GamesUSA) Eylau game, the latest in the Eagles of the Empire series, a few times over the past weeks.
For those who don't know it, this series features area movement and double-sized counters for infantry units with individual battery/cavalry regiment counters, an extremely compact and playable representation of even the larger Napoleonic battles (and they have some mid-19th century ones in their sights as well).
The wait for Eylau was a long one, and the series rules have been completely revamped over the first two games (Borodino and Friedland).

As a watcher from the sidelines, Prussia became increasingly more concerned at French influence spreading over the minor German states and, in October 1806, finally joined Britain and Russia against Napoleon Bonaparte.
The harsh winter of early 1807 had both sides in camp but Bennigsen moved within Bonaparte's reach and the emperor set out to destroy him.

With the Prussian army reduced to a handful of harried fugitives after Jena-Auerstedt, Napoléon occupied the major cities of Germany and marched on east in pursuit of the remaining forces opposed to him: largely Russians under the command of the frail 75-year-old Marshal Michael Kamenskoi.
The French plans fell into Russian hands, however, and Benigssen was just able to retreat once more and avoid the trap.
