About the Game

This publication is part of a planned series of Companions to both support and supplement the rules, In The Grandest Manner, with themed scenarios that are developed and played at “The Situation Room”.

To make use of this Companion, you do not require any specific set of rules, although they are written with the rules mentioned above in mind.

Indeed, the Companion lends itself to being scaled in virtually any way the reader wishes, for use with a plethora of rule sets.

In addition to the scenarios, time is spent on exploring the intricacies of the rules which the Companions supports. In this edition, the focus is on the game setup, focusing on the work going into setting up any game. After set up, the morale system is examined in depth, exploring the troop definitions that can enable as much variation as wanted or indeed warranted by any scenario.

The scenarios, themselves, are based on four main battles from the Danube Campaign of 1809 between the French, commanded by Napoleon, and the Austrians, commanded by Archduke Charles. In order, the battles are

Abensberg, Eckmuhl, Aspern-Essling and Wagram.

Each scenario has a map, full OB and any special rules. Typical dispositions, from the games played here, are also used to illustrate the scenarios.
