Incredible Courage 1809, Alt-Eglofsheim 2017

This battle deals with the situation after the Battle of Eckmuhl and the French pursuit of the Austrians. General Nansouty with 3 cavalry divisions takes on a significantly smaller Austrian cavalry rearguard attempting to keep the French away from the Austrian main body, giving them time to get away. There is only cavalry and a handful of artillery batteries in this fight. It is a wild set of charges and counter-charges, with some intermittent artillery fire, spaced into a couple hours. So the battle is short and easily played in an afternoon. Counter density is low and there is some room for maneuver. Both sides have a chance to win this event. The more time the Austrians give the main body to escape the better the chance of winning.
