Giving battle means taking it to the enemy, not letting the enemy outflank you.Yes, but you can never let the enemy get behind you, which is what was occurring..Giving battle to the Austrians/Prussians and Russians, is an offensive strategy.He had to strike quick or it would have been another Leipzig..that was the luxurious point; to give battle to the Austrians/Prussians and Russians, not the British.That's a luxury he did not have, as the Austrians and Russians were coming to battle also..I agree; he should have declined to offer battle to the British and focused on the Prussians.
