1.0 INTRODUCTION La Bataille de Schöngrabern is a tactical Napoleonic game of Maréchal Murat’s battle of the 16th November 1805 with the Romanov rearguard under Prince Bageration. Murat had negociated an armistice with the Russians, to which the Russians easily agreed since the only thing that Kutuzov wanted was time to make his juncture with Buxhowden

When Napoleon learned of the brash Murat’s attempt at diplomacy rather than a vigorous pursuit of the Russian forces in front of him, he was furious…as preserved in Napoleon’s correspondence and revealed in a letter to his brother-in-law,… “I cannot find words to express my displeasure. You only command my vanguard and have no right to agree to an armistice without my orders. You will cost me the fruits of a campaign. End the armistice at once, and attack the enemy. Inform him that the general who has signed this has no power to make it, that only the Russian Emperor has the right, and that when the Russian Emperor ratifies this agreement, I will also ratify it. But it is only a ruse. March, destroy the Russian army. You are in a position to take his baggage and artillery.” Murat, now with the direct orders of Napoleon in hand, begins to move his command to attack. He has 30,000 troops of all arms and begins the battle from the village of Schöngrabern in lower Austria between 4 pm and 5 pm on November 16.

The reports from the battle remain sketchy, but it does appear Murat wanted to flank the Russians, who were assembled around Gründ, just east of the French, with around 8,000 mixed arms troops. As Murat begins his flanking move to the left of their starting positions in Schöngrabern, Russian artillery from the heights west of Gründ fired into the French-held village, setting the church and around 60 homes ablaze. The French assault was stymied in large part due to extensive vineyards just east of the town that cover most of the terrain between Schöngrabern and Gründ. The effect of the vineyards was to limit substantially the coordinated French attacks. The attacks from Lannes on the right and Soult on the left started and stopped. The Russian fire was withering and their defense was fanatical in an evening when the light was gone quickly. Murat, who was a master at directing cavalry, was far less capable when providing infantry with orders. His attacks at Schoengrabern, like elsewhere where he commanded infantry, would start and stop, and would prove not very effective.

Then General Nicolas Oudinot along with his Grenadiers was able to attack the Russian center. General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas (father of the famous French writer Alexandre Dumas) in his recollection of the battle described that the brave Oudinot had reached pistol range of the Russian leading his attack. However, Oudinot was seriously wounded with a bullet to the thigh. The fallen Oudinot’s attack appears to have convinced Bagration that the Russian position was untenable and he broke off the six-hour long battle. After the battle, Napoleon assigned General Gerard Duroc to take over command of Oudinot’s grenadiers, and he led them with great success at Austerlitz.

The Russians had fought brilliantly. Even though they lost between 3000 and 4000 troops, Bagration’s delaying tactics had allowed Kutuzov to slip away from Napoleon and join Buxhowden in Brunn, Moravia on November 18. The combined Russian armies, including Bagration’s battered command, would now exceed the size of Napoleon’s forces in the weeks before Austerlitz. 4.1.1 Cavalry  Cavalry must be in skirmish order or in general order. 2.0 RULES QUESTIONS  Only three increments are available from each regiment for Check the La Bataille forum at Consimworld: melee from a single hex. http://www.consimworld.com.  There are no charges in the vineyard.
