(FICTIONAL) June 18, 1805 *Austrians v. Russians* An Austrian column of 16,000+ under FM Davidovich is using the English town of Marlow as its base in operations against the Russians. GL Sacken-1's 3-ya diviziya (3rd division), 17000+, is advancing upon Marlow to push the Austrians back toward London. NOTES: The Austrians are the 'French' player to make the engine work.

Generic armies based on wargame collections I've owned in the past. I've tried to label each army within it's native language. You'll be able to figure out what's what fairly easily, though. I've also tried to deploy the armies more to thier historical practice instead of just deploying a straight OOB army.

For example, the Austrians are formed in two lines of battles "Treffen", with a reserve and a left flank force and a right flank force, etc. The Russians have thier 6-pood (six punders) pieces split out to each battalion, and a flanking task force was formed for them, too.

Most units are C rated, some B's or A's are present as well. I used the fanatical morale (-) feature in the game to boost some units' morale, without raising their combat capabilities. So all the artillery is C rated with a fanatical rating, this will (should) cause them to stick to their guns but not become super sharpshooters if the Optional Firing Rules are used. I also structed the artillery in batteries with leaders to allow command bonuses to flow to them which should help in improve thier 'staying' power.

The Austrians deployed their cavalry in pairs of squadrons called 'divisions'. I have placed them in such formations with leaders, and deliberately did not include a leader at the Regimental level. This should create situations where individual sqns/divs of Austrian horse doing well, but players will have coordination problems trying to use them in mass. The Russians have a more simplified command chain, and can mass more combat power easier, similar to the French.

I hope these ideas translate into a solid 'Napoleonic' feel and flavor.
