Forty thousand additional troops could have been put to good use.<br /><br />As for rules, this replay is being carried out using a heavily modified version of Republique. For me, it produces historically believable results.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-9408392399410322762015-06-04T17:33:06.914-07:002015-06-04T17:33:06.914-07:00What an action-packed turn that was!

The Austrian cavalry counter-attack, driving over the bridge, eventually blunted by the chasseurs and then the continued struggle for Kris-Meyer farm. Fabulous.<br />I am really enjoying this 'series' which is re-told so well by the combination of your summary and photos. I especially like those close-up shots of key points of action.<br />Thanks for the entertainment and inspiration JonathanJames Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-22993689290000413772015-06-02T20:09:23.680-07:002015-06-02T20:09:23.680-07:00The game continues to look great, and present toug...The game continues to look great, and present tough challenges for both sides. The Austrian cavalry are exceeding expectations, but can they keep it up? <br /><br />Aolid French victory not only makes it unlikely that Johan will be able to support Karl; at Wagram, but also disperses the Hungarian Insurrectio. Their numbers are significant - about 20,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry. If allowed even a few months of training and field operations, their quality would likely start to increase dramatically (like the Prussian Landwehr of 2013). <br /><br />What rules are you using, Jon?Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-28075466364623201252015-06-02T18:08:10.089-07:002015-06-02T18:08:10.089-07:00A French victory that prevents Johan from linking ...A French victory that prevents Johan from linking up with Charles at Wagram is worth the costJonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-19307904215902834452015-06-02T18:05:32.403-07:002015-06-02T18:05:32.403-07:00Thank you, Ray!Thank you, Ray!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-65665802604386260072015-06-02T18:04:33.045-07:002015-06-02T18:04:33.045-07:00Thanks for continuing to follow the battle, Christ...Thanks for continuing to follow the battle, Christopher.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-28957218807552981732015-06-02T18:02:42.070-07:002015-06-02T18:02:42.070-07:00The Austrian cavalry have stymied much of their op...The Austrian cavalry have stymied much of their opposition thus far.
