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 8

Characters Present: 

Colonel Karl Bogdánich Schubert - German-Russian, speaks Russian badly as written by Tolstoy
Zherkóv
Vaska Denísov
Cadet Minónov
Prince Nesvítski
Nicholas Rostóv

Location: 

Still on the bridge crossing the River Danube at Enns

Denisóv's squadron are the only remaining on the end of the bridge and can see the blue uniforms of the French coming over the hill on the opposite bank.  Schubert and his two squadrons are nearby, and Nesvístki rides up to Schubert and demands to know why he he hasn't followed orders and burnt the bridge down.  Schubert denies ever receiving such orders and sends Denisóvs squadron back to do it. 

Rostóv, being in Denísov's squadron, rides back on to the bridge and freezes with fear as the French artillery and infantry get closer and wounded soldiers start calling out for stretchers. Meanwhile, Zherkóv, Nesvítski and others are discussing whether the bridge will catch fire before the French get to it, and they are happy when it does.
