Almost immediately after my previous battle I found a little time to setup a straightforward line-up based on Scenario 2 in the OHW book. This time it would be the Austrians as the opponents with a scenario set in the middle of the 1809 campaign.
I used my add-on morale rules again and tweaked these a little to make them less invasive to the play. This worked much better and with the use of the solo event cards produced a compelling game that delivered a lot of entertainment.
The poor Austrian general tried to be creative and use his superior cavalry in order to mass them on the French right flank but their envelopment was stalled by some determined French dragoons and artillery that held firm. Meanwhile the French line was able to blast away at the Austrians and make their units start to falter and break.
It took 7 turns and the Austrians had lost all but their hussars and jaegers. So another fine game that delivered wargaming enjoyment.
The cat was a little more sceptical of the entertainment benefits of the exercise.
