Marshal Enterprises Releases New ‘La Bataille’ Game “Halle” For Free
There is a new La Bataille series game out and it is free!  Marshal Enterprises has announced the release of “The Battle of Halle”, a contest between the French and the Prussians in the 1806 Campaign.
Marshal Enterprises released the “The Battle of Halle” game on November 11, 2012, which is the first in its series of Recession Games, which will be free to the public.  The Recession Games will be a series of lesser-known corps on corps battles from both the Wars of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars.  The reason for the release of the Recession series is because, according to Marshal Enterprises,” everybody needs to save a buck.”
The games are posted on the Marshal Enterprises website, which can be reached at labataille.me.  The complete games will be ready to assemble to accessing the website and printing the map; rules; charts and counters.  The player then can assemble all of the components by following the easy instructions available on the website.
“The Battle of Halle” recreates the 1806 contest between the French, under Marshal Jean Bernadotte, and the Prussians, under the Duke of Wurttemberg.  The battle, which occurred on October 17, 1806, was fought just three days after the twin French victories at Jena-Auerstadt.  The Prussian forces had been the only major Prussian formation left unscathed after Jena-Auerstadt, and represented the best chance for a Prussian recovery after those losses.  However, Marshal Bernadotte prevailed in a hard-fought contest, which led to the pursuit of Bernadotte up to the Baltic Sea Coast at Lubeck.
Marshal Enterprises consists of Monte Mattson; Dennis Spors; James Soto and Mike Neylan.  This organization, which had been involved in the development of the La Bataille series in the 1970’s and was responsible the publishing of several titles in the 1970’s and 1980’s, reformed to attend the Consim convention in Tempe earlier this year.
The response to their reappearance, after many years away from the business, was so positive, that they decided to issue this new series of games in the La Bataille system as a thank you to the public,  as well as with the hope that those who wanted to play a more streamlined version of La Bataille could do so.
The hope is that “The Battle of Halle” and other subsequent releases can be played in a few hours.
