First Victory for Napoleon

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.

First Victory for Napoleon

Post by Didz »

Just finished my first French Campaign and won reasonably easily.

Macks Austrian Army was destroyed bewteen Ulm and Augsberg after which is was a race between the French and the Russians to reach Vienna. A race which I won shattering Kutusov's Corps near Kremms.

Final VP was 86

French Losses: 120 Casualties, 4 surrendered, 1 Shattered
Coalition Losses: 365 Casualties, 26 Surrendered, 11 Shattered

Quite pleased with that result though I did have the FOW minimised.

Not having as much luck playing Austrian though.

The way to play Austria is RUN!!!
Move your corps VERY fast through Munich, and unite with the Russians.
Either time will run out - Allied Victory
Or you may catch an Isolated persuing french corps

Actually, I did manage to beat the French eventually without conducting a major retreat.

But I agree that as a matter of necessity one must extract the Austrian's from the potential trap being srung form the North.
