Scenario based on the Age of Eagles Scenario.
Troops: 28mm.
Rules: M2M house rules.
Von Laudon's (SteveJ) Austrian division is deployed on the escarpment above the Danube. Loison's (Mike) division is crossing the bridge over the Danube with orders from N to take Elchingen to secure the bridge over the Danube. Both sides have another division coming up.
The French attack gets off to great start when the lead column throws 666665 & breaks into the village on the the first charge.
There is desperate fighting in the village as Mahler's French division (Mark) comes onto the table in the far right corner & Riesch's Austians (Chris) comes in along the road in the foreground.
The French have taken the nearest house. On the right of the village Loison has been forced back (after a DRS review proved that a French casualty counter had been misplaced). But Malher's cavalry are close enough to stop the Austrians exploiting that success.
Loison's left has now been broken, but he has taken the other house. Riesch is about to start deploying.
On the far flank the French cavalry has got onto the escarpament beyond the Austrian flank.
A shot from behind the French right: The cavalry are engaged on the escarpment. Mahler's infantry is deploying.
Reisch's grenadiers have re-taken the first house. Loison has withdrawn his battered survivors as Hahler takes over the fight for the village. On the far flank the Austrian cuirassiers beat the French dragoons, but a counterattack by hussars turned the tide.
Von Laudon's division has lost more than half its units & has been broken. Riesch's deployment is compromised by Loison's survivors firing across the river.
Loison has been forced back from the river, but has bought time for Mahler to deploy. The French cavalry has forced the Austrian left into square.
Reisch's division is melting away under converging French fire.
Reisch's divion has been reduced below half strength &is breaking, but their retreat is cut off by the French hussars. A decisive French victory.
