Somewhere in Austria

Unfortunately, for security reasons, I can’t tell you the current location of the emperor but suffice to say the Guard are watering their horses in the Danube. The French army is making steady progress eastwards and hopes to catch sight of the spires of Vienna very soon.

"What are the latest reports on the Austrians la Bedoyere?"
"They are saying they will fight to the last Russian sire!"



The Austrian PR machine is cranking out stirring proclamations about defending Vienna however it’s seeming increasingly likely that Mack is continuing his retreat, possibly in the hope of joining the Prussians although there is no firm news yet as to whether they have mobilised. No matter, it will be less work for us to defeat them all in one great battle!

I love when your Prussians are in action, so please don't try to win the campaign too quicky!

Matt, that depends on which side you’re supporting!

WM, glad you have such faith that the French will win!

Adlerkreutz? Is this a missing figure from my order of battle? Clearly the citizens of Vienna have found something to salute beyond Sachertorte.

Nigel, just trying to make the campaign inclusive!
