I played the 3rd game this week of my solo DBN 1809 campaign. This time I did Teugen Hausen using the Command and Colours scenario as the basis for the set up and orders of battle.
The two ridges are key to the battle and these count as 1 unit lost to the side not in occupation. The Austrians start occupying one of the ridges. To win requires 8 units to be inflicted at the end of a complete turn.
The French are the attacker and start by occupying the ridge on their left before a full out attack on the Austrian occupied ridge on the left.
The Austrians react to the attack by moving up reserves in support. The French columns are ravaged by musketry and canister but they prove to string for the Austrian defenders.
The Austrians are slowly moving a column around the French left flank. The battle rages on the French right flank as the Austrians counter attack. The French however are able to throw back the Austrians and consolidate their control of the ridge.
With the Austrians reaching 8 units lost (6 units plus 2 for the French control of both ridges) the Austrian launch an attack on the French left hoping to dispute control of the ridge. The French win the combat and with that the game ends in a French victory 8 points to 3.
The Austfian lead in the campaign is now 2 - 1.
