1.0 INTRODUCTION La Bataille de Marengo is a tactical Napoleonic game of the battle that was fought on 14 June 1800, between French forces under Napoleon Bonaparte and Austrian forces, near the city of Alessandria, in Piedmont Italy. The French overcame General de Kavalerie Melas's surprise attack near the end of the day, driving the Austrians out of Italy, and enhancing Napoleon's political position in Paris as First Consul of France in the wake of his coup d’état the previous November.

Surprised by the Austrian advance toward Genoa in mid-April 1800, Bonaparte had hastily led his army over the Alps in mid-May and reached Milan on 2 June. After cutting Melas’s line of communications by crossing the river Po and Général de Division Lannes defeating Feldmarschall Leutnant Ott’s rearguard at Montebello on 9 June, the French closed in on the Austrian army, which had massed in Alessandria. Général de Division Victor lauched a spoiling attack on the evening of the 13th in order to pin another assumed Austrian rearguard under Feldmarschall Leutnant O'Reilly in position, but after taking over 250 casulaties O'Reilly gave up Marengo and Pedro-Bono Farms and retired to the fortified bridgehead. Deceived by a local double agent, Bonaparte had dispatched large forces to the north and south, as the Austrians launched their surprise attack on 14 June against the main French army under Général de Division Louis Alexandre Berthier.

Initially, the Austrian’s two assaults across the Fontanone stream near Marengo village were repelled, allowing Général de Division Jean Lannes to reinforce the French right. Bonaparte finally realised the true position and issued orders at 11:00am to recall the detachments under Générals de Division Desaix and Moncey, while moving his Reserve forward. On the Austrian left, Ott’s column had taken Castel Ceriolo, and its advance guard moved south to attack Lannes’s flank. Melas renewed the main assault and the Austrians eventually broke the central French position. By 2:30 pm the French were withdrawing and Austrian dragons seized the Marengo farm. Bonaparte had by then arrived with the Reserve, as Victor and Lannes began to fall back on the main vine belts. Knowing Desaix was approaching, Bonaparte was anxious about a column of Ott’s soldiers marching from the north, so he deployed his Consular Guard infantry to delay it. The French withdrew steadily eastward toward San Giuliano Vecchio as the Austrians slowly formed columns to follow them in line with Ott’s advance in the northern sector.

Desaix’s arrival around 5:30 pm stabilised the French position as the 9ème Légère delayed the Austrian advance down the main road and the rest of the army re-formed north of Cascina Grossa. As the pursuing Austrian troops arrived, a mix of musketry and artillery fire concealed a surprise flank attack of Général de Brigade François Étienne de Kellermann’s heavy cavalry, which threw the Austrian pursuit into disordered flight back into Alessandria, with about 9,400 killed, wounded, or captured. The French casualties were considerably fewer, but included Desaix. The whole French force chased after the Austrians to seal the political victory that secured Bonaparte’s grip on power after the coup.

Note 2: Each Grenadier battalion had an attached section of two 3pdrs.  Austrian Linen / Grenadier 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 (or Grenadier bataillons). o This rule does not apply to 1/IR28 (detached to an Advant-Garde) o For Grenadier Bataillons this applies to their Brigade Batteries (German for German grenadiers, Hungarian for Hungarian grenadiers)  Linen Regimental batteries may freely stack with Bataillons of their regiment (grenadier’s batteries with any one other bataillons from their division).  Regimental batteries always fire at full strength (regardless of having 1 or more increments). 6.10 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%). La Bataille de Marengo

 Austrain Kavalleriebatterie may limber for a cost of 2MP (rather than 50%). 6.11 Bataillon 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. 6.12 Austrian (Multi Unit) Cavalry Regiments  Some Austrian Cavalry Regiments have over 1000 troopers (20 increments); these are represented by more than one counter (division). Unless all the divisions of a regiment are adjacent then only the division nearest the brigade leader is in command (and any divisions adjacent to it). Divisions may charge individually but they must regroup to the brigade commander to return to command.  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.  Leicht Dragons 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.

6.13 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. 6.14 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. 6.15 Melee Losses The Austrians had been beaten at Monebello on 9th June, when Ott tried to stop Lannes and Victor, some units (especially the Linen) had suffered more than 50% losses, and Linen IR 13 had been destroyed. The 2. Grenzer, 3. & 4. Leicht, Mariassy Jäger, IR 17, IR 18, IR 28, IR 40, IR 51, IR 57 had still not recovered from over 30% losses, and suffer higher penalties when the Austrians enter Morale Levels.

7.0 Scenario 1: Leaving the Bridgehead 7.1 Introduction At 08:00 Melas’s Columns started over the pontoon bridges over the Bomida into the fortified bridgehead. After Victor’s spoiling attack the previous evening it had been proposed to move one of the bridges upstream to outflank Victor’s new position but this had not been possible to arrange in the time available. The cavalry and light infantry of O’Reilly’s Right Column led the advance, bypassing the walled farm of Pedre-Bono, heading for Stortigliona. Frimont’s Avant-Garde cleared Pedre-Bono after an artillery barrage and advanced towards Marengo. At 09:00 a nervous Rittmeister Civrani at Acqui reported that he was being attacked by Suchet’s entire Corps, and Melas diverted one of his Reserve Cavalry Brigades and supporting artillerie back over the pontoon bridges to reinforce his rearguard, causing a big traffic jam, while the Austrians slowly fought to expand their cramped bridgehead. At around 14:00 Nobili’s cavalry brigade finally cleared the bridge over the Fontenone Stream, while Melas himself led the charge of the 1. Kasier Dragons which final surrounded Marengo farm. 7.2 Time Eleven turns beginning with the 08:00 turn and ending with the 13:00 turn. 7.3 Command Austrian: Melas, Ott & O’Reilly all have CP’s when they enter. Rosseau has a CP on turn 1, since he is in the bridgehead. Kaim has a CP if he takes over from Melas. French: Victor & Lannes may have a CP each, since they start in villages. Napoleon, Murat, Moncey & Desaix have a CP when they enter. Bessières and Marmot may command their own brigades.

La Bataille de Marengo 8.0 Scenario 2: Desaix’s Counterattack 8.1 Introduction With victory apparently in his hands Melas, who had been wounded leading a cavalry attack on Marengo Farm, decided to hand command over to Kaim. The Austrian pursuit was slow and badly organised, perhaps not surprisingly after a battle that had already lasted for eight hours, and killed or wounded many Austrian generals, three GMs, a FML and GdK Mekas himself, while the French had also lost three GdB. The Austrians advanced as if they were chasing a broken enemy. The Austrian center, where most of the leader losses had occurred, advancing along the New Road, was particularly disordered. Whilst Ott’s Kolonne which contained most of the force defeated at Montebello only a week before was equally cautious. The time allowed Napoleon to restore some order as Victor and Lannes’ men reached San Giuliano. At around 4pm he received the news he had been waiting for since noon - Desaix was close, and should arrive at around 5pm. When Desaix did finally arrive he suggested that a renewed attack could still win the day. While the l’incomparable 9e Légère carried out a fighting retreat, Desaix prepared his counter-attack. Guenard's brigade would form up on the road, close to the point where the Old and New Roads merged. Marmont's guns would provide artillery support and Kellermann would provide cavalry support.
