Raab

The Battle of Raab: June 14, 1809

Table Size: 6 x 9 feet

Troop Scale: 1 Infantry unit = 900 men, 1 Cavalry unit = 600 men, 1 Artillery = 12 guns.

Background: Eugene has pursued Erzherzog Johann's army out of Italy; near the fortress of Raab, Johann has incorporated large numbers of infantry and cavalry of the Hungarian Insurrectio, untried and ill equipped troops of dubious quality. Under orders from Napoleon to clear all Austrian resistance from the territory South of the Danube, Eugene's army attacks. Johann has chosen a strong defensive position to make his stand.

Map: The Kis-Meyer Farm is Class III terrain and may hold 2 defending units; all other buildings are Class II. The Pancza stream has steep banks which prevent cavalry and artillery from crossing the western 2/3 of it it except at the bridges. Along the eastern 1/3 of the Pancza, the banks become more marshy and become passable to cavalry, but artillery may only cross at a single ford, the location of which is known to the Austrians but not the French. The Pancza counts as Class III terrain throughout. The Szabadhegy Heights count as Class II terrain.

Scenario Rules: French units contacting the Eastern 1/3 of the Pancza stream may search for the Ford. To do so, they must be in contact with the stream and expend 1 MOVE segment searching. Roll a D6 for each 6” segment searched; on a roll of 6 the Ford is located in that segment. If 5 segments are searched without finding the Ford, by default it is located in the 6^th, although it must still be searched for as above.

Hungarian Insurrectio: Infantry and cavalry of the Insurrectio may NOT be rallied if they rout. Lost UI may be rallied as usual from units that have not routed. Such units are marked with an *

Deployment: Is as shown on the Deployment Map.

Reinforcements: None

Victory Conditions: the Village of Szabadhegy, the top level of the Szabadhegy Heights, The Kismayer Farm, and the northern exit of the easternmost road off the table are each worth one Victory Point. The battle begins at 12 Noon, and ends when the 12^th French MOVE card has been played (6PM) if not sooner. If one side fails Army Morale, then the enemy wins a Decisive Victory if they control more VP than the enemy, a Major Victory if equal to the enemy, and a Minor Victory otherwise. If neither side fails Army Morale, the side with the most Victory points wins, counting an additional 1 VP for the side with more Army Morale Points at the end of the game.
