1.0 INTRODUCTION La Bataille de Montebello (Casteggio) is a tactical Napoleonic game of the battle that was fought on 9 June 1800, between French advanced guard under GdD Lannes and Austrian rear guard under FML Ott.
Napoleon's capture of Milan on 2 June found the Austrian army separated into three major and several minor concentrations. GdK Melas held Turin with 18,000 men; FML Peter Ott's 16,000 troops remained near Genoa where they secured the surrender of GdD André Masséna's starving garrison on 4 June, while FML Anton von Elsnitz with 8,000 soldiers retreated from the Riviera, in front of GdD Soult’s forces. To the east of Milan, FML Josef Philipp Vukassovich had 4,000 men. South of the Po River, FML Andreas O'Reilly von Ballinlough marched east toward Piacenza with 3,000 men. Strong garrisons manned the fortresses of Alessandria, Coni and Casale. Melas believed he had plenty of time to mass his army and launch a counter-offensive north from Piacenza.
GdD Jean Lannes moved south from Milan with his corps, seizing Pavia on 3 June and being initially repulsed by Piacenza's tiny 400-man garrison. In a series of operations on 6 June, Generals of Division Joachim Murat and Jean Boudet ferried their troops across the Po to the east of Piacenza while Lannes crossed the Po to the west of the city. Murat then overran Piacenza while Lannes pushed O'Reilly back to the west. These actions placed French forces directly on the main Austrian line of communication between Alessandria and Mantua in the strategic Stradella defile. Meanwhile, Murat captured a set of Austrian dispatches that disclosed that Genoa had fallen. Confronted with a new situation, Napoleon issued orders to press the Austrians.
On 7 June, Ott's column was marching north from Genoa. Ott's corps reached Voghera at 8 pm on 8 June to join O'Reilly. A patrol reported French troops to the east. Ott directed O'Reilly with six infantry battalions and four cavalry squadrons to defend the village of Casteggio on the main east- west highway, to cover the withdrawal to Allesandria of the army’s artillery train.
Meanwhile, the French army became overextended. Believing that his enemies could not be in strength, Napoleon sent a note to Lannes, "If troops should present themselves between Voghera and Stradella let them be attacked without caution; they are, certainly, fewer than 10,000 men." Lannes planned to continue marching west. This would bring his 8,000 men into contact with Ott's Kolonne of 18,000.

Cavalry units must be in Column in order to Charge across a bridge. La Bataille de Montebello
Infantry subtracts 6 from its Roll to Close dice roll, when assaulting across a bridge. 1 Cavalry units multiply their Mêlée Value by /3 as if the cavalry was attacking into General Order. 4.1.4 Discovering a Coppa Ford. The 12e Hussars or any Légère Infantrie may attempt to discover a new ford across the Coppa. A die roll may be made each turn and on a 5 or 6 a ford is discovered. Only one new ford may be discovered. Note: The Austrianss do not appear to have notice the discontinuos road north of Casteggio which clearly indicated a possible ford.
4.2 Visibility and Artillery Ricochet Note: Across some of the battlefield the corn in the fields was nearly 6ft high, and in between there were vineyards where vines had been trained over frames, and there were thick hedges bordering the roads. The maximum range of all artillery fire is 4 hexes. There is no artillery ricochet as a result of the very wet ground. NOTE: Artillery Ricochet only applies to the Règlements de l’An XXX. 4.3 Slopes 4.3.1 Steep Slopes There are many steep slopes south of the main road. Steep Slopes are only traversable by Infantry Skirmishers, Personalities and Routed Infantry.

During the rainstorm all Movement Allowances are halved Visibility is reduced to three hexes and Skirmishers may only fire at 1 hex range. There is a -3 modifier on the fire tables. There is a -6 modifier on the melee tables if the odd are greater than 1:1. There is a +6 modifier on the melee tables if the odd are less than 1:1. Darkness falls at 19:00. Effect of darkness. Maximum artillery range remains at 4 hexes. Movement costs for units off road and formation changes is doubled. Cavalry units are not doubled for charging. 6.7 Forced March Only Napoleon’s Garde may force march.. 6.8 Austrian Regiments & Batteries Note 1: The regimental batteries normally consisted of four 3pdrs and a single 6 pdr, partly crewed by the regiment’s infantry. Austrian Linen Bataillons may only enter EZOC when no part of their brigade is in Road Order A RTC modifier of -6 applies if the regimental battery is not unlimbered and within 4 hexes and have a LOS to the target. For the purpose of determining LOS the battery may ignore its own Regiment. Linen Regimental batteries may freely stack with Bataillons of their regiment. Regimental batteries always fire at full strength (regardless of having 1 or more increments). 6.9 Austrain Kavalleriebatterie Note: Austrian Gunners in Cavalry batteries rode of the Gun Trail (Wurst Seat). This restricted the batteries speed over rough ground, but made deployment into action very quick. Austrain Kavalleriebatterie may unlimber for a cost of 1MP (rather than 50%). Austrain Kavalleriebatterie may limber for a cost of 2MP (rather than 50%). 6.10 Masse Square: Austrian Infantry may only form Square in reaction to enemy cavalry when the infantry is in Line formation. Austrian units in Skirmish Order may attempt to form a Rallying Square. Austrian infantry may also form Square during its normal movement Sequence Batallion Masse: The Batallion Masse was essentially a Close Column of Companies roughtly equivalent to the Colonne par Peleton. Austrian infantry may not enter Column formation, they enter Battalion Masse instead. Battalion Masse may only be formed in hexes which allow Column, Line or Square formation. Battalion Masse is a single hex formation. The Battalion Masse faces a hexside, it has 3 front hexsides, two flank hexsides and one rear hexside. The Battalion Masse fires using its printed Fire Value. When units in Battalion Masse are involved in a Mêlée they use their printed Mêlée Value. When cavalry Charges a Battalion Masse, the infantry must Roll to Stand in its present formation. The Battalion Masse may not attempt to form Square. If it passes its Roll to Stand, it may reface in any direction at the owning players option and then gives Defensive Fire, and Mêlée as usual. If it fails its Roll to Stand it is disordered as usual and may not reface. When cavalry charges a Batallion Masse the cavalry multiplies its Mêlée Value by ½. When charging a Battalion Masse, cavalry does not receive the doubling benefit for charging the last 3 hexes in straight line, prior to attacking the infantry. 6.11 Austrian Cavalry Regiments Austrian cavalry unis may not stack. Note: Austrian doctrine was not to deploy massed cavalry but to use them in units of one or two squadrons. Light Dragoons are reduced to 2/3 when fighting French light cavalry and to 1/3 when fighting French heavy cavalry. Note: The Austrian Leicht Dragons are mostly mounted on Galician Ponies and were at a considerable disadvantage in combat with the heavier French Cavalry. The Bussy Jagers may never surrender, they take an extra casualty and rout (even through enemy formations). Note: The emigrees of the Bussy Jager zu Pferd became the Chasseurs Britanique after the defeat of Austria. 6.12 Cavalry Skirmish Order Even though there is a row for cavalry skirmishers on the Fire Defense Chart and a column on the Movment Chart, this applies only to players using the Règlements de l’An XXX. 6.13 Melee Losses If the tens die is even the attacker takes an extra loss. If the units die is even the defender takes an extra loss.
7.0 Scenario 1: Casteggio-Montebello 7.1 Introduction Watrin’s Division began the attack by forcing O’Reilly’s Avant Garde back to Casteggio. But the arrival of Vogelsang’s and then Schellenberg’s Divisions left Lannes outnumbered, although still attacking, while Chief of Staff Zach’s advice to Ott being to withdraw before Napoleon’s main body arrived. Finally the arrival of Victor and the discovery of a ford across the Coppa north of Casteggio forced the Austrians to withdraw. Grenzer Regiment 2 Ottocac and Linen IR 13 Reisky both suffered over 50% losses covering the retreat. La Bataille de Montebello 7.2 Time Nineteen turns beginning with the 08:00 turn and ending with the 18:00 turn. 7.3 Command Austrian: Ott has a CP when he enters. O’Reilly has a CP until Ott enters.
