Bagration joins with Doctorov and has forty-five…

July 1812 CE

Bagration joins with Doctorov and has forty-five thousand men at Novi-Sverzen by the seventh.

Davout had lost ten thousand men marching to Minsk and will not attack Bagration without Jerome joining him.

Two French Cavalry defeats by Platov keep the French in the dark and Bagration is no better informed with both overestimating the other's strength, Davout thinks Bagration has some sixty thousand men and Bagration thinks Davout has seventy thousand.

Bagration is getting orders from both Alexander's staff and Barclay (which Barclay doesn't know) and leaves Bagration without a clear picture of what is expected of him and the general situation.

This stream of confused orders to Bagration has him upset with Barclay, which will have repercussions later.
