La Bataille d' Eggmuhl 1809

Notes: Strategic Background

Now outnumbered, Erzherzog Karl decides not to attack but to retreat back across the Donau. Karl assigns the IV Korps to be the rearguard with a few units from III Korps in support The road (Oberlaichling, Obersanding to Untersanding) is of key importance to the Austrians. Much of the IV Korps will use this road to march north over the Donau. The goal of the Austrians is to retreat slowly to the northeast to allow the rest of the army to reform beyond the Donau. Napoleon wants to trap this part of the Austrian Army and destroy it. Austrians rout ( Pdf) east and the French rout (Pdf) west For the purposes of this scenario, any routed unit, French or Austrian, is removed from play, if the unit leaves the scenario boundary.
