So in preparation for a re-staging of Austerlitz, I did a tabletop game using some of the same Austerlitz formations (so that I did not have to re-do the tags).
 |
| Russian Line troops form a massive column to re-deploy to the left ... |
I set up a French flank force encountering a Russo-Austrian advance guard.
Nothing terribly special, other than the march order needed to be somewhat historical in nature (no guards at the front).
 |
| early situation, Russians top left, Austrians bottom left, French to the right |
 |
| French battle columns form up behind covering cavlary |
 |
| Austrian cavalry face some French cannons and pay the price with disorder and losses |
 |
| an entire Austrian column |
 |
| it took some time and eventually the Russians moved in to assault the French positions |
 |
| While brave, they could not 'crack' into the town defenses |
 |
| Eventually the battle wound down with many casualties taken by Russians |
 |
| Disordered and routing Russian Cavalry were unable to effect any change on the French progress & my turn sequence of play controller was photographed also. |
I was able to refresh my memory for much of the combat system in Napoleon's Battles, though urban conflict was in error and I applied a CC factor to shooting which caused more casualties than would be. I felt ready to take on the big action of Austerlitz!
