Notes: My main source for 1805 has walked
or hidden, so I’m mostly relying on Duffy’s “Austerlitz”. The French list is reliable
except possibly for the Guard and Bavarians. The Austrian list is roughly
correct in terms of battalions and squadrons and its organisation conforms to
normal Austrian practise. Feel free to offer corrections. Mack’s stupid
headlong advance into Bavaria (possibly the only example of an aggressive Inert
general!) led to the quick surrounding and surrender of nearly all the Austrian
field army at Ulm before there was much fighting and long before their Russian
allies could arrive. These lists are therefore strictly for “what if” battles.
Mack tried unsuccessfully to live off the country like the French, so is not
permitted a Supply Base.
