Scenario for the 2nd Battle of Caldiero 1805
« on: 08 August 2020, 12:48:53 AM »
I've posted a scenario for the 2nd Battle of Caldiero 1805 on my blog.  This indecisive clash between Marshal Massena and Archduke Charles isn't very well known, probably due to it being a minor sideshow compared to the 'main event' at Ulm and Austerlitz.  It's certainly not one I've played before, so I'm looking forward to having a crack at this:

Excellent scenario and a nice explanation on your blog! (I was able to connect this time!) Looks like a tough nut to crack for the French.

Nice minis too. You just have to love AB 18mm Napoleonics!

Cheers!  Yes, it certainly does look like a tough one.  It's certainly very different to any other 'Italian Front' that I can think of, with earthworks, cuirassiers and lots of grenadiers.
