The courier had ridden post-haste to get to General Waldebeck's HQ, changing horses on the way, arriving in the early evening. On reading the dispatch from Count Boritzy that Saxe-Jarlsberg troops had been seen marching towards Hofheim he issued orders for the troops to be assembled at dawn - the orders - 'all available troops to force march to Hofheim'.
Early the next morning General Waldebeck watches as the marching column starts to form up ...
Next the converged grenadier battalion ...
The artillery leaves the pallisaded camp ...
The two infantry regiments and some jagers move up ...
Will they arrive in time at Hofheim ? ...

A stirring sight of them on the march...
Brave fellows. I like the Jagers strolling along beside the column.
Hurrah for Wittenberg!
Looking great there, Allan.
