French vs Austrian 15mm (5 players) [URL=http://s305.photobucket.com/user/1815philip/media/Napoleonic/Raab%20Hungary%201809/DSC02265_zps0zt2bgna.jpg.html] [/URL] [URL=http://s305.photobucket.com/user/1815philip/media/Napoleonic/Raab%20Hungary%201809/DSC02267_zpsdvariodp.jpg.html] [/URL] Opening Moves [URL=http://s305.photobucket.com/user/1815philip/media/Napoleonic/Raab%20Hungary%201809/DSC02270_zpswbwvn2rz.jpg.html] [/URL] Turn 3- French Cavalry found the ford turn 1 and have to go across in Column.

The Austrian Cavalry broke on turn 6 and the Austrian right flank under Jellacic became demoralised on the same turn. The Austrians would pull back and the field would be left to the French. All in all another fun Corps level game getting close to a decision, considering of the 5 players 1 had never played Shako II, 1 had only played once, 2 had played 2 or 3 games and me!
