  • Arcole, 15th November 1796.
    Desperate to relieve the siege of Mantua, Austrian Field Marshal József Alvinczi plans to launch a two-pronged attack against Napoleon Bonaparte's French Army of Italy. In turn, Napoleon intends to outflank Alvinczi's army and cross the Alpone river in person; seizing this bridge will cut Austrian supply lines and prevent their escape, but the Austrians are unlikely to surrender without a desperate struggle.

    I was struggling on this one. But leading the Austrians to that barrel shot trap you used at the end was genius.

      It did work out very well! Especially due to the water slowing down their units as they approached.

      It is a tough start to the battle, but keep in mind most of your units are of a higher quality than their landwehr - and be sure to spread out as thin as possible as they will march very grouped together across the swamp.

      Thanks! I was very pleased with how this attempt unfolded, the terrain made it easier to take the larger Austrian army in small parts.
      Thanks for watching!

    Think the A.I. was very easy with you by Alvinczi army not attacking in full early and only sending a couple of units.
    A good victory but you did put Napoleon in danger by using him to attack over the bridge....he should have been shot hahahaha

      Yes and that combined with the swamp made picking them off a lot easier - very fortunate there!
      And you're right, it is always a huge gamble to commit Napoleon in these battles, especially as his death will be potentially fail the entire battle due to the morale hit - but sometimes on Very Hard things get so desperate all you have left to commit is the General!

      @@xWarLegendx Oh right I didn't know that.
      Would you happen to know where I can load/put Darthmod on my computer for Empire TW?
      When I loaded it for Napoleon it loaded itself onto a file but with Empire it asks me to type where?
      I typed several locations but none were acceptable for downloading Darthmod.
      Sorry if this seems to be a stupid question but I have no idea into which file it should go.
