The Freedonian commander has deployed his forces as shown. (Note Silberberg is standing in for Bretogne on this map) Cavalry and Jaegers are screening ahead of the main line. The main line or resistance atop the ridge overlooking the road is manned with three line battalions, an artillery half-battery and the jaegers manning built up positions (castles and farmhouses) in company-sized elements. Jaegers and Cavalry protect the flanks. A battalion-sized reserve occupies positions within Silberberg behind the main line. Because Makowsky knows he will eventually withdraw to the west he has another battalion holding a line farther back near the map edge together with a half battery of guns. The forward woods along the ridge are very thick with undergrowth and thornbushes. Positions have been prepared and escape paths marked out through the woods. These can be easily defended if the battalions can get out in time. This should channelize the enemy along the main road or to the North.
