La Bataille de Deutsch-Wagram 1809

Austrian Artillery Organization

Austrian Artillery is not centralized as with some other armies of the day.

Austrian artillery from different Korps may stack together in the same hex and but not all fire at a one target (at least one hex away), unless Generaladjutanten Grunne or Major Perl are in the stack. As members of Karl’s staff either my direct the stack of artillery at one target. Grunne or Pearl must remain in the hex for the combination to continue. If either leaves only units from the same korps may fire at a single target. If the

artillery is all different, than only one battery could fire at a single target. If the target is adjacent, all batteries in a hex may fire.

Artillery Leaders of Special Ability

Adjacent batteries may fire upon the same target hex only if there is a leader in one of the firing hexes, and the leader has an artillery bonus. If three hexes of artillery are to fire at the same target, then a leader of special ability must be present and adjacent to all three firing hexes. Artillery in different hexes may, however, always combine their fire if the target hex is adjacent to them both.

All batteries which wish to limber must roll one die to do so. Leaders with an artillery bonus number add one to this roll. Leaders of special ability add three.

Artillery Leaders of Special Ability; Napoleon, Sorbier, Duroc, Lauriston, Lariboisiere. There are no Austrian Artillerie Leaders of Special Aibility.
