The German colonel from the last chapter

Dólokhov

Major Ekonómov (first appearance)

Captain Tushín

Prince Andrew Bolkónski

Location:

Znaim

The German general charges into the cut-off copse on his horse in a panic to see whether his men are being killed horribly, and happily, the pressure on the Germans has been eased by some Russian sharp-shooters.

Dólokhov has been killing the French shows several trophies in the way of personal items to Major Ekonómov, wishing to be remembered for his heroism.

Tushín is having a lovely time down at the front of the line with his battery and doesn't show any sign that he will obey when told to retreat by a staff-officer.  Bolkónski reaches the battery and shakes Tushín's hand and says "Until we meet again". Tushín is described as having tears in his eyes as he watches Bolkónski ride away [1]

[1] Bolkónski and Tushín seem to have man-crushes on one another. 

Book 2 - Chapter 19

Characters Present (or discussed):

Captain Tushín 
A German colonel
A Russian general
Zherkóv
Nicholas Rostóv
General Bagratión


Location: 

Still in Znaime

Captain Tushín's plan to set the village on fire was successful, and the French are slightly delayed as they rush to put it out.

General Bagratión sends Zherkóv to tell the left flank to retreat, and Zherkóv finds a German colonel and a Russian general arguing.  Apparently the German won't command his men to fight as they are outnumbered - he refuses on the grounds that he doesn't want to do kill his men for the entertainment of the Russian.  The French get in around the back of the Germans, so they have to fight to get out anyway.

Rostóv's arm gets maimed horribly when he falls of his horse, which got maimed seconds before, and he runs away when he notices French soldiers coming to either capture or kill him.

Book 2 - Chapter 18

Characters Present:

Prince Andew Bolkónski
General Bagratíon

Location: 

Still in Znaime

The battle is in full swing and Bolkónski walks past several soldiers who are bleeding quite gruesomely.

Bagratíon continues to act as though everything is going according to plan and seems delusional but happy.  He joins the march on the French army.

Book 2 - Chapter 17

Characters Present: 

Prince Andrew Bolkónski
General Bagratión 
Captain Tushín

Location:

Still at Znaime

More canon balls are fired at the Russian army, and though not having received orders, Captain Tushín of the Russian battery starts firing canons back into the village that some of the French army are in, with the aim of setting it on fire.

Bolkónski, now going around with Bagratíon, notes that though Bagratíon does not appear to be giving orders, or to even have a plan, he acts as though everything that happens is going according to how he wanted or expected it to.  This has a calming effect on the soldiers that he interacts with. 

The movement of the French army around the Russian army tends to suggest that the Russians are doomed.

Book 2 - Chapter 16

Characters Present:

Prince Andrew Bolkónski
Captain Tushín 
An infantry officer with a manly voice

Location: 

Still in Znaime

Bolkónski continues his tour of the camp and climbs a hill where he can see the whole of the Russian Army and the beginnings of the French army.  He observes that the French line is much wider than the Russian and notes that the French could very easily outflank the Russians.

Bolkónski starts to develop a strategy to pass on to Bagratión but then overhears voices philosophising about death in a cabin that is on the hill.  He recognises one voice as belonging to the dashing Captain Tushín, who he met while he (Tushín) was being scolded for not wearing boots a couple of chapters ago, and the other to be very manly indeed. 

Their conversation is interrupted by a canon ball whizzing through the air and destroying part of the cabin.
