Crisis on the Danube - Sc. 3

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.

Crisis on the Danube - Sc. 3

Post by DEB »

The Sc. set up info. shows the Guard @ Vienna from the start with Napoleon. However, only the Engineers are with Napoleon in the actual game. The Guard Cavalry ( from previous versions ) are now part of the Reserve Cavalry and are just south of Vienna. There are no Guard Infantry or Artillary on the map at Vienna or elsewhere. ( Previous versions had Guard Infantry , Cavalry & Artillary arriving at Ulm. )

My history sources & various internet searches show the Imperial Guard at Aspern-Essling ( 21-22 May 09) less than 40 days ( sc. reinforcements ) from the start ; and at Wagram. Admittedly only the Young Guard ( approx. 10-12 sp worth ), a small amount of Guard Cavalry & Guard Artillary ( 112 guns ) are mentioned.

I have played through this Sc. as the French and no Imperial Guard have arrived ( or appeared ) at Ulm, Vienna or anywhere else. [:(]
The Italian Guard Infantry arrive with the reinforcements.

Can you advise what has become of the French Imperial Guard ?
( approx. 52 sp's of Foot plus the Artillary are missing. )[X(]

The Guard is in first time too in the Crisis on the Danube scenario, but it is 2 infantry units and 1 cavalry unit. No artillery.

14 worth of infantry under Curial and 6 under Dorsenne with 4 cavalry under Arrighi.
