Zurich (June 4-7th, 1799)

Author: [HWK]Bud, Zurich; Austrian Campaigns (June 4-7 1799) As more than 40,000 Austrians swarmed into Switzerland (Green) Marshall Massena was sent to fend them off and met them with some 30,000 French troops (Blue) at Zurich. The subsequent four-day battle was a ferocious one - with the Austrians eager to continue their run of victories and the French doggedly determined to halt their progress. Eventually, the weight of numbers was too great for Massena whose force withdrew to safer ground. He left behind 1700 casualties, while the Austrians suffered almost 3500.

Trebbia (June 17th-19th, 1799)

Author: [HWK]Foxhound. HEW up-dated. One of our most beautiful maps, with a rich Italian scenery of which the club is particularly proud (see Large View below), this masterpiece presents one of Suvorov's last great victories before an early, politically motivated retirement. The tenacious Russian general has doubled back on his Republican French adversary and their Polish allies (blue) to the aid of the recently pummeled Austrian army. Both Austrians and Russians (green) are now on the attack against the zealous enemy who hold their positions across the Trebbia River. Read Map Rules page before playing.

Zurich (September 26th, 1799)

Author: [HWK]Bud, Zurich; Austrian Campaigns (September 26 1799) Three months after the first battle of Zurich, a reinforced Marshal Massena's found himself in another unenviable position of having to fend off vastly greater numbers of Russians under the legendary Field Marshal Suvarov. The French commander, however, acted with a Bonapartish style and, after sending a small force to slow Suvarov's progress through the passes, rounded on the other Russian army under General Alexander Korsakov. He smashed into the Russians and scattered them, causing 8000 casualties and capturing supplies, baggage and cannons. Then, Massena turned on Suvarov and in a brilliant offensive operation drove him away - killing, wounding and capturing almost 14,000 Russians.

Marengo (June 14th, 1800)

Author: [HWK]Stu. Updated March, 2009, Stu has rendered a more accurate depiction of the topography and disposition of that fateful field on which was launched the rise to power of France's new Pro Consul, Napoleon. It was also on this field that the brave Desaix, noble by birth but covered in battle's glory in the name of the Republic lost his life while saving the day for Bonaparte's pressed army.

Hohenlinden (December 3rd, 1800)

Author: [HWK]Stu. The Austrians (green) under Duke Charles are moving in several columns to attack the French Revolutionary army under Moreau. Spotting that the Austrians are thus divided, Moreau decides to attack, and defeat his approaching enemy in pieces. This map features some great snowy landscape and intricate river beds. Look for checker-blocking in forested areas and at other terrain features. Austrians are obliged to attack, few houses are able to be garrisoned, no-upgrades. Read enclosed material first.
