17 May 1809 (H) - Prior to the Battle of Aspern-Essling the Allies had captured the bridge over the Danube at Linz and had heavily fortified it. The Austrians seeked to draw off some of Napoleon's troops from crossing the river with the main Allied army at Vienna so they sent FZM Kollowrat with his corps to attack and if possible destroy the bridge. The Field Marshall used a dangerous strategy to take the position. He would use three columns to converge on the French-Allied position. Timing was crucial but wasnt one of the strong points of the Austrian military machine. With the Wurttemberg VIII Corps under Marshall Vandamme ready to face the Austrians and a division of Saxons under the watchful eye of Bernadotte the Austrian attack would have to do very well to complete its mission. Scenario size is small and the better player should be the Austrians.

Austria must press hard early in the scenario to have a chance in this one.
A very tough game for the Austrians. Reinforcements may get delayed and are mainly milita; some arrive in woodland and are irrelevant. The Austrians arrive with a few large infantry batallions, artiller but no cavalry - great for defence but near useless for attack and the Austrians start on a Minor Defeat.
