	Battle of Ligny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Ligny, fought June 16, 1815, was a French victory under Napoleon against the Prussian army under Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher in the Napoleonic Wars.
		It was to the honour of General von Gneisenau's excellent staff, that Prussian forces were directed towards Wavre, a position that would allow the Prussians to come to Wellington's aid on 18 June and subsequently swing the outcome of the campaign into their favour.
		In driving the Prussians back onto their lines of communications and sending Grouchy's with a corps to pursue them, to stop them reforming and coming to the aid of Wellington's allied formations, he judged that he had done enough to prevent this happening.

		This is a replay of the battle of Ligny from the DG edition of Napoleon's Last Battles, using my new set of variant rules.
		In Ligny, the French troops holding part of the town are reinforced and in a great push, Desprez' brigade manages to rush over the bridge towards the northern part of town and drive the 9th Line and the 1st Elbe Landwehr (which is scattered in the process) out onto the hills behind it.
		And although the Guard cannot enter Ligny itself since IV Corps is milling about in front of it preparing another assault, its troops start crossing the brook west of Ligny and, spotting the battery, advance against it and overrun it.

		It was a long position stretching from Wagnelée in the west over St-Amands, Ligny and Sombreffe to the hamlet of Balâtre in the east.
		All his forces were deployed along the Ligny brook on a forward slope, allowing the French to fire upon them which, of course, is what they did, with heavy casualties as a result.

	The Battle
		On Vandamme’s right, the IV French Corps of General Gérard advanced on the village of Ligny, whose defenders, under Generals Henkel and Jagow were well protected by stout walls and banked-up hedges, together with the support of artillery batteries on each flank.
		Although forced to relinquish their hold on Ligny, the French still remained in possession of Saint Amand, but found it difficult to debouch from there owing to the mass batteries that Ziethen had ranged to cover the exits from the village.
		The fact that he divided his army once again after the battle of Ligny, sending 30,000 men to pursue what he considered to be a “ defeated foe”, admits to the fact that eventually oversights and blunders like these were bound to tell against him in the end.

		This farm (Ferme d'en Haut) in Ligny was the scene of some particularly bloody fighting, and the gatehouse you see here is literally all that's left of the entire pre-1815 town.
		We are looking back towards the village of St Amand, where a huge Prussian attack swept through, killing a great deal of the enemy, as well as many of their own troops in front of them.

		Gérard’s attack against Ligny met fierce resistance from Jagow’s brigade, and some regiments took over 50% casualties before the Prussians finally pulled back across the creek.
		Wellington arose and immediately returned the officer toward Ligny to confirm the Prussian retreat and its direction.

	1815, The Waterloo Campaign: Wellington, His German Allies and the Battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras
		What is more or less new is the contention that the Duke conspired to deceive Blücher into fighting under adverse conditions at Ligny, so as to give him time to concentrate his own army.
		After Ligny, the Prussian generals blamed Wellington for not coming to their aid.
		He was surely right, though, to delay the movement of his Anglo-Dutch-Hanoverian army until assured that the main attack was the one at Ligny, and that Napoleon was not manoeuvring to cut him off from the Channel ports.

		Bloem de Ligny has such a unique style that takes you from ice-caves to pirate ships to a medieval courtyard at night all in one swoop.
		Bloem de Ligny's voice is breathtaking and so many of her songs burst with meaning under the often wacky and fun lyrics.
		Some Bjork fans may write off Dutch singer Bloem (pronouced "Bloom" meaning "flower" in Dutch) de Ligny simply as a Bjork copy, I'm a HUGE Bjork fan and when I first heard Bloem's voice, I was at first inclined to believe this too.

		Peter Hofschroer writes almost entirely from a Prussian perspective which is refreshing but at times a little frustrating (as I would have liked a bit more French input).
		He tries to convince the reader that the Waterloo Campaign was more of a German/Prussian victory than a British one based on the make up and numbers of the Allied forces that actually fought in the campaign.
		He also pulls no punches on the Duke of Wellington's performance in the opening rounds of the campaign and concludes from the evidence of his research that the Duke deceived his Prussian Allies into fighting at Ligny when he knew he could not offer any support.
