MARENGO 1800, REDUX Scenario 2, Conclusion!

Will the First Consul be successful?

When we last left off the Austrian were attempting to press forward along their entire front. While the French were managing to hold out and reinforce with some small surprises such as this cavalry unit on their Right flank!

Meanwhile BUA #2 keeps burning (Unable to be occupied).

And the Austrians tired of the bridge hold up go for broke!

The entire Austrian line emerges! Will it be enough?

The French line prepares to defend and counterattack!

The sneaky Austrians press the seams in the flank!

But the French remain confident in their abilities to resist.

The embattled Left Flank continues to hold out!

Even after the front line cavalry unit recoils!

The battle for supremacy heats up!

A French cavalry counterattack defeats the Austrians and sends them back across the stream.

Some routed units survive from exiting the board! (Yellow to Red)

You can see how far the Austrians advanced in the Center!

But this matters not as the Main objectives are still held by the French.

The French Left and Main Objective (BUA #1) HOLDS!

The future Emperor to be dreams of further glories to come!
