Ich fürchte, die werden mich üblen Zionisten nicht einladen.

The battlefield gets chaotic as the units can freely move about, there are leaders which provide boni but no real divisions or other formations. I'd consider it C&C but with better command mechanism.

With the French cavalry surging the battlefield and roaming in the enemy's rear, the Austrian and German morale breaks. Bonaparte has repelled the second major Habsburg campaign to relieve Mantua.
November 8, 2025 at 10:04 PM
Jourdan organizes a massive counterattack, bringing the Trombalora back under French control.

While the Austrian guns play heavily on the worn-out republicans, the French cavalry scatters the tyrant's regiments before them.
November 8, 2025 at 9:51 PM
Habsburg assault columns surge forward, rolling up Jourdan's position. Lusignan is beating the French back from Gazzoli to Rivoli.
November 8, 2025 at 9:01 PM
French forces rally. The Habsburg guns have different ideas, though, repelling Rey's and Masséna's columns.

The republican cavalry strikes again, taking two batteries and routing hussars.
November 8, 2025 at 8:40 PM
Further skirmishing along the lines.
Masséna drives his soldiers forward relentlessly, routing the enemy position.
Lusignan's regiment succesfully assaults the Trombalora from the rear.

Fairly streamlined with some details to remember, but you get used to it. I do quite like the order, rally and reinforcement mechanism. Forces you to plan ahead, then issue orders at the right point in time, but also has a push your luck aspect to it, as your opponent is doing the same.
November 8, 2025 at 8:09 PM
Liptay continues attacking Trombalora to no avail. Vukasovic's artillery arrives on the Adige's left bank, while Lusignan's column has completed its flank march.

Beware the republican horse! Lasalle charges Alvinczy's guns, while Masséna's dragoons frontally assault those of Quasdanovich.
November 8, 2025 at 8:08 PM
Masséna maneuvers his forces against Quasdanovich and securing Gazzoli.

The Habsburg artillery sends one of his demi-brigades on a rout, while the French guns devastate a dragoon regiment near San Marco.
November 8, 2025 at 7:48 PM
Quasdanovich's column arrives via the Adige valley at the same time as Rey's division enters the battlefield to bolster Masséna at Rivoli even further. Can Jourdan hold until help arrives?

Joudan coordinates the units around him. A devastating canister volley hits Knöblös, Lasalle forces Liptay into square.

Knöblös and Ocskay advance their columns onto the heights and into Osteria.
November 8, 2025 at 7:01 PM
Relief. Lasalle charges up the heights and drives back the Habsburgs.

And another silver lining, Masséna arrives in Rivoli with his division.
November 8, 2025 at 6:33 PM
Regiment Knöblös under supervision of Alvinczy aussaults the highground and carries it.

Jourdan's position is desperate.
November 8, 2025 at 6:15 PM
Alvinczy commences the attack by artillery bombardment against the French left. Joubert in turn pulls back said flank onto the Trombalora Heights.
November 8, 2025 at 5:37 PM
😂 It's not as bad yet. I definitely do need another shelf, though ...
