They had limited support from Austrian regulars until the armistice at Znaim in late July, 1809. Without that the support, the rebellion was eventually quashed by overwhelming French and CoR forces.. but even then, it wasn't easy!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-4943632547868414552018-11-08T13:27:25.942-05:002018-11-08T13:27:25.942-05:00Nicely animated figuresNicely animated figuresSgt Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805201299484374889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-70045371603581020482018-11-08T12:27:36.383-05:002018-11-08T12:27:36.383-05:00Very nice, I always want to paint these.

The evocative images in Innsbruck panorama had me imagining many different low-level scraps over the mountains and valleys around Innsbruck.
