Elchingen (October 14th, 1805)

Author: [HWK]Stu, Elchingen; Austrian Campaigns (October 14, 1805) Ney's French corps (blue) have recently repaired the Danube bridge and now fix their sights on the Austrian armies (green) that have set up defensive positions in the nearby towns (called Ober and Unter Elchingen). Dismayed that this French force is larger than they had thought, the Austrians are nevertheless confident of victory as they have several regiments of their elite Grenadiers with them and companies of heavy cavalry. Blue attacks, no-upgrades, no fixed cannon, the convent and churches are not habitable. See Read First text in download.

Mariazell (November 8th, 1805)

Author: [HWK]Marengo. von Merveldt's Austrian troops (green) were attached to Kutusov's retreating Russians when he received orders to help Archduke John's army move back to Austria. Kutusov ordered him to return, knowing that he was moving directly towards the advancing French (blue). von Merveldt reversed his movement but was forced to make a stand at Mariazell where he was attacked by Davout's advance guard brigade under Heudelet de Bierre. After two hours less than half the Austrians escaped. It was a stunning French victory as these were possibly the best troops in the Austrian army.
