The Quick Combat Grid – The grid on which Quick Combat occurs is divided into four different zones on both the attacker’s and defender’s sides of the grid. The zones are:
Charge – Units here attack recklessly. Their deadliness is significantly increased, but so is their chance of becoming routed.
Attack – Units here make normal attacks.
Defend – Units here have a smaller chance of being routed than units in other zones, and may gain defensive bonuses in combat, though their attacks are greatly penalized.
Routed – Units here do not fight, though each turn they have a chance to rally and re-enter battle, in the Defend combat area.
From the looks of it, the French are winning the battle and thus pressing on against the Austrians, so the artillery have (abstractly) been moved to a more forward position.
