A case of weird identities:
This message arrived to me:
DISPATCH -- Augereau to Ney (September 10, 1600)
Sender: Marshal Pierre Augereau.
Day 1. 1600, preparing to turn North to Cobourg on the Bamberg - Hof Road
Time Sent: 1600
Recipient:
VI Corps, Marshal Ney
Time Received: September 10, 2100
Unit Marching:
VII Corps
Dispatches:
My good Marshal Ney, I am presently to your South at the location indicated above. It is my intention to follow you in the initial stages of this campaign. Your Servant -- Pierre Augereau
=========
This confused me, but apparently the rider was confused, having been misdirected through an umpire die roll. After some discussion, the rider was redirected.
-------
In the belief that Ney is to be found at Bamberg or on the road south of it --
I would like to redirect the runner, with this message, to Bamberg with instructions to enquire about Ney's whereabouts there; and, if there is no better information there, to ride on the road south out of Bamberg to find him.
