Date: 30 October 1805 - Size: Medium - Location: Caldiero, Italy\\Situation:
Historical - The Battle of Caldiero was a see-saw affair that
saw both sides take and retake the village and the heights.\\The
first day's action started with Verdier putting the 62nd Ligne
across the Adige by boat and then drive on the Austrian left
only to be repulsed by Grenzers and Grenadiers of Nordmann's
division. Falling back on Duhesme's division they remained apart
from their parent division for the rest of the day while Verdier
countered a supposed threat to Verona.\\The Austrians under a
cautious Charles waited for the fog to clear thereby allowing
Duhesme's division to gain the village. Initial counterattacks
by the Austrians drove the French back only to be repulsed by
advancing French formations. By the end of the day neither side
had gained their objectives and the battle was still hanging
in the balance.\\Rules: Default [Recommended]\\Notes: Intended
for Head to Head play.

It's an even battle, it will be hard for either side to win a victory unless the French really screw the pooch.
