Documentary on the 1809 campaign

Frank Hunter's Campaigns on the Danube is an operational study of the campaigns along the Danube in 1805 and 1809. Campaigns on the Danube's system focuses on trying to present the player with the same sort of decisions placed on their historical counterparts; how to feed an army and move that army according to a plan, all the while trying to fight a campaign. There is also an option to allow players to play out the battles with miniatures and input the results.

Nice find, with a good graphic, it looks a bit like CotD in action. Although at minute 7:00, the initial Austrian deployment looks more like the scenario variant - 'Charles Original Plan' than the historical situation. [:D]

The 1805 Campaign, good background information to the CotD scenarios and good graphics.

I like how they elaborate on the background and maneuver instead of just focusing on the battle field itself.

Yes, because this is the strategy and manoeuvre that CotD covers and you cannot win the battles unless you have the strategy to bring your forces into combat on the best terms and keep units in the best condition.

It's what CotD does best. [:)]
