About the game
Custom scenarios for Age of Eagles, although the orders of battle can be converted for other rule systems. Smaller historical engagement. ELCHINGEN (October 1805): To complete his encirclement of Mack's army near Ulm, Napoleon orders Marshal Michel Ney to secure the Elchingen bridge over the Danube River. Can the Austrians looming on the nearby heights stop Ney's corps from closing the ring on Field Marshal Mack? Victory points: One point for every "worn" enemy brigade, and two points for each enemy "spent" or destroyed unit. Two points for uncontested control of Ober-Elchingen(the "abbey" is not considered part of the town.)
