So big luck ... Grand Armee was located in Budweis, sieging and capturing the city, but then moved to Vienna and just small Corps is there now ... now I must hope, that will not call for reinforces

So it was not so easy battle ... just my 1st Army was in time on battlefield, from Buxhovens Army just one division and artillery arrived. And another problem, my forces are unexperienced and not so good like enemies ...

So I tried slowly advance with local flank attack, what works ...

can you tell me if there is a way to play the game more than 22 years.  I want more years than just 22 years.

Maximum is 23 years, so 276 months = turns. It looks enough. I never played CoG so long, but I'm sure, that if you have scenario setting like "Who will have 100 Glory points first" and anybody reach it, game will ask you, if you want continue. So maybe similar possibility is after 23 years ...

But it was last victory ... Grand Armee attacked my Army the same month and won. Then Buonaparte advanced to Moscow and capture 50.000 men inside. So I prepared my Army for last battle ... last chance, because National Morale was falling down really quickly ...

But then morale of my units did fall down and I was defeated ... and it means end of war. Russia surrendered ...

I made big mistake ... playing Simple Economy I forgot possibility upgrade my barracks so my Armies were worse and worse then enemy ... really disaster ... here you can see some possibilities:
