Wagram, 1809 is a simulation of the battle which took place during the Campaign on the Danube over the

5th and the 6th of July 1809, and which saw Napoleon victorious over the Archduke Charles (Karl).
The map represents the area of the Battle of Wagram, to the north of Vienna; it is divided into zones. Each combat unit generally represents a division or an artillery group. There are also HQ counters and other markers. One game turn represents about 2 hours. The number of game turns varies depending on the scenario. The French units are in blue, the Austrians in white. 2d6 are required. Note: Die Roll Modiers (DRMs) are values that are added to and/or subtracted from the result(s) of die/dice rolls.

1 - INTRODUCTION

2 - COUNTERS
Combat units are organised in Army Corps, distinguished by a coloured strip. Each counter represents a Division, or sometimes ad hoc groupings or smaller units. There are 4 types of unit: Infantry; Cavalry (Light or Heavy); Mixed (a light unit of both Infantry and Cavalry); Artillery (Foot or Horse). The largest units are represented by 2 counters: Full strength unit (solid colour stripe) and half strength unit (coloured stripe no longer solid) The rst value (from 4 to 1) to the left of the unit type indicates the number of step losses the unit can suffer before being eliminated. If there is a second value (2 or 3) on the right of the unit type, this indicates that the unit can be routed. The Command Bonus (indicated by a yellow star) is attributed to the best divisional commanders. The Combat Potential represents both the number of troops and their ghting ability. One or two white spots to the right of the Combat Potential represents the units stacking value (1 or 2 stacking points).
2.1 COMBAT UNITS

The Artillery Potential represents the Artillery batteries attached to the unit. The Movement Potential represents the units ability to move and to engage in combat. Two values are present: a Tactical Potential (used when near the enemy) and a Normal Potential (used for manoeuvring) The reverse side of the counter represents the unit weakened after a step loss. There are two types of HQ: - Two Army HQs (Napolon or Karl), which have a normal side and an activated side, and which are placed on the battleeld; - Corps HQs, which have a normal side with the corps identity on it, and a national side (FR or AU), which are placed on the Orders Table. The Turn, FR Round and AU Round markers are used to mark the progression of the game turns and Rounds of action on the Turn Record Track and the Activations Track.

 The Fatigue 1 / Fatigue 2 markers are used to track the fatigue level of a unit. The Attack / Charge, Rout / Rout+1, and the Isolated markers are used to indicate a specic action or status of a combat unit. The VP / VP+10 markers are used to keep a record of the Victory Points (VPs).
Full strength unit Half strength unit Weakened unit

Around the map there are: - The Turn Record Track (one for each scenario), Activations Track and Victory Points Track. - The Orders Table for each player. Each Orders Table contains 7 boxes: Order 1, Order 2, Order 3, Available, Activated, Reaction and Operational Movement. The Corps markers are placed in these boxes, normally on their hidden side (national side visible). The French player wins at the end of a scenario if he has at least 10 VPs more than the Austrian player, otherwise the Austrian player wins. Depending on the situation, each player scores a certain number of VPs, which are recorded on the relevant track using the VP markers (see 12.3).

Each scenario consists of a set number of Game Turns. Each Game Turn consists of a variable number of Rounds Infantry Cavalry Heavy Cavalry (A), each composed of 6 Phases that are carried out in the sequence printed below.

activated, it must be the next corps placed in the Orders 3 box during the players next Orders Phase. The player selects a Pivot unit (Artillery excluded) belonging to the activated corps. This Pivot unit is automatically in Command. To be selected, the Pivot unit must be able to trace a continuous path of zones to its HQ without passing through a zone occupied by an enemy unit or through a zone situated in an enemy Zone of Control unoccupied by a friendly unit (see 9.4). This path may not exceed 9 zones (or 6 zones for a Reaction Round). All units adjacent to the Pivot unit, or adjacent to a unit which in its turn is adjacent to the Pivot unit, are In Command. In the same fashion, Cavalry or Mixed units which are 2 or less zones (without passing through a zone occupied by an enemy unit) from an in Command unit are also in Command. However they may not themselves be used to place other units in Command. All the other units of this corps are Isolated. (Place an Isolated marker on them) An Isolated unit has its Tactical Movement Potential reduced by 1, and may not become Fatigued in order to increase this value. Isolation does not affect Normal or Operational Movement. Isolated markers are withdrawn at the end of the Round.

8- ACTIVATION PHASE

7- ORDERS PHASE
The Phasing Player moves the Corps marker(s) from the Activated box to the Available box except in the rst Round of the rst turn. He reveals the Corps marker in the Order 1 box and places it in the Activated box. He then transfers the two other Corps markers to the Order box with the next lower number (3 to 2 and 2 to 1.) Finally, he secretly selects a Corps marker from the Available box and places it face down in the Order 3 box. NB : He may be forced to select the Corps marker which is in the Reaction box (see 7.2). NB : The Orders Table is lled for the rst time during the initial Administration Phase (12.5).

The non-Phasing player of the preceding Round may imPIVOT UNIT mediately try to activate a corps for a Reaction Round. He secretly selects a Corps marker from the Available box whose Pivot unit (see 8 for restrictions on selection) is located 6 zones or less from its Army HQ (Napolon or Karl) and places it in the Reaction box. A Reaction Round may only be attempted if the Reaction IN COMMAND UNITS box is empty. The player rolls 2d6: On a score of 2 to 7 (58%) for Napolon and 2 to 6 (41%) for Karl, the player succeeds in activating the corps placed in the Reaction box. He reveals it ISOLATED UNIT as if it had been in the Order 1 box and places it in the Activated box.

Fatigue 1 marker is turned over to its Fatigue 2 side. Certain actions require a Manoeuvre Test to be passed. A 1d6 is rolled: 1-3: The test is failed. 4-6: The test is passed. Modiers: +1 for Command Bonus; +1 for the Infantry of the Guard (Gd/Curial and Gd/Dorse.); +1 for the Austrian Grenadiers (R/Aspre and R/Prochas) The player moves and/or ghts the units belonging to an Activated corps, one by one. He must nish moving one unit before progressing to the next. For a unit he is activating, he may: Reduce its fatigue by 1; if the unit is in an enemy units Front, it must rst pass a Manoeuvre Test, or; - Move it, and possibly Attack or Charge. Artillery units may also Bombard. Each unit (except Artillery, HQs and Routed units) exercises a Zone of Control (ZoC) over all the zones surrounding the zone where it is located. The presence of a friendly ZoC or of a friendly unit does not negate an enemy ZoC (except for the selection of a Pivot unit, see 8). Each unit must be orientated towards a zone, and possesses a Front towards this zone and each of the two adjacent zones. A Front is thus formed of 3 zones, the remaining zones forming the units Flank. An HQ has no orientation.

stacking limit while passing through it. A unit uses its Normal Movement Potential (the higher value) when all its movement is carried out more than 3 zones from an enemy unit. Otherwise it uses its Tactical Movement Potential. The Movement Potential is expressed in Movement Points (MP). A unit (except for Artillery and HQs) which does not yet have a Fatigue 2 marker may increase its MPs by 1 for Infantry, Mixed units or Heavy Cavalry and by 2 for the rest of the Cavalry in exchange for the imposition of one level (only) of Fatigue at the end of its movement; this choice is made after the normal MPs have been expended. A units orientation has no effect on its movement. Moving from one zone to another costs 1 MP. Entering a zone while climbing a steep slope and/or crossing the Russbach (solely) and/or entering a marsh zone and/or a wood costs 1 MP extra each time. Exception: Baumersdorf (165): +1 MP for the Russbach only when coming from/entering zones 166, 167 or 191. Being the last unit to leave an enemy ZoC costs an extra 1 MP. A unit which does not have enough MPs may always move at least one zone, on condition; 1) that it has increased its MPs as far as possible by receiving a level of fatigue; 2) that the movement will not cause any loss to the unit, and 3) that it passes a Manoeuvre Test. A zone occupied by an enemy unit may not be entered. A unit entering an enemy ZoC must stop moving; it may however orientate itself and decide to attack if it has enough remaining MPs; If a unit is Retreating/Routing (see 10.6) it may continue its movement. A unit which leaves an enemy units ZoC at the start of its movement, to then enter directly into the Front of another enemy unit immediately suffers a step loss unless there is a friendly unit in each of the two zones. If a unit comes into contact with an enemy HQ, the HQ is moved one or two zones (owning players choice) so as to no longer be in contact with the enemy unit. An HQ has 4 MPs and may move once per game turn, during any Round in which its side has the Initiative. The HQ is subsequently turned onto its Activated side. To attack an adjacent zone on a units front containing one or more enemy units costs 1MP. An Attack marker is placed on the attacking unit. A Cavalry unit which is not fatigued may decide to charge an adjacent zone situated on its Front which contains one or more enemy units; this costs 2 MPs (MPs may not be
9.6 - MOVEMENT

Up to 5 Stacking points may be placed per zone (except for the initial set up - see 14.1). Units count as 1 or 2 Stacking points. HQs and markers do not count towards stacking. All units stacked together must belong to the same corps (exceptions: Detachments and the Grand Battery, see 13.1 and 13.2). Units stacked together must always adopt the same orientation (see 9.7). During movement a unit may temporarily exceed a zones

increased by the addition of a Fatigue marker) ; A Charge marker is placed on the unit. Only one unit may Charge per zone. The charge gives a combat bonus of +1 (or +2 if Heavy). A Cavalry unit may not charge a unit located in a village, a redoubt, woods, behind a riverA a steep slope, nor may it use its or Artillery Potential during a charge. After combat, a unit which has charged receives a level of Fatigue. A unit may change orientation during its Movement Phase, by moving, by ghting, by successfully reducing its Fatigue level or simply by wheeling on itself without moving. The orientation of the rst unit in a zone to Attack/Charge must be adopted by any other units already present, or by any units which arrive later. When a unit comes into contact with an enemy unit, the enemy unit may reorientate itself as it wishes; if it is already in the Front of an enemy unit it must rst of all pass a Manoeuvre Test. If there are several units present only one Manoeuvre Test is carried out, using the unit with the best modier. The remaining units automatically orientate themselves with the unit that has just undergone the Manoeuvre Test. An activated Artillery unit may carry out a Bombardment either at the start (before any movement) or at the end (after all movement) of the Movement Phase. If an Artillery unit carries out a Bombardment before movement, the Artillery unit itself may not move. The Phasing player designates a target situated in a permitted Bombardment zone. Permitted Bombardment zones: - the 3 zones which form the units Front (the zones on the units Flanks may not be bombarded). - zones which are situated two zones distance away and A which are in contact withB of the units 3 Front zones, one C but which are not in contact with one of the zones forming the units Flanks. (Zones in contact with one of the units Flank zones may not be bombarded). The following zones may not be bombarded: - zones situated beyond a zone containing an obstacle (i.e. woods, village, slope/steep slope and/or combat unit(s) ) situated on the same height as, or higher than, the bombarding Artillery unit. NB: In case of doubt, trace a line between the centres of the zones containing the bombarding unit and its target. If this line cuts through the zone containing the obstacle by more than 1 mm then the bombardment may not take place. Roll 1d6 applying the following modiers: +1 if the range is 2 zones; +X if the Artillery unit has moved during this Movement Phase (X = MPs expended before ring; reduce X by 1 for

If the result is less than or equal to the ring units Artillery Potential then the bombardment is effective. In the event of multiple targets in the zone, the target that has been hit is determined at random. The effects are as follows: - For an Artillery unit: Manoeuvre Test and in the event of a failed test: 1 hit - For a combat unit: 1 level of Fatigue. Counter-battery Fire: if the target zone contains an Artillery unit, the owner of the target zone may carry out a counter Bombardment against the Artillery unit that bombarded it. This latter unit may not subsequently reply with counter-battery re. The normal bombardment rules apply, the initial Artillery unit automatically being the target. Combat: During the Combat Phase those Artillery units that are present may take part in the combat as Artillery Support (see 10.5.5).

10 - COMBAT PHASE
A unit must ght if an Attack or a Charge marker has been placed on it during the Movement Phase (at the cost of 1 MP for an Attack or 2 MPs for a Charge). An Artillery unit does not need an Attack marker to take part in combat. The attacker chooses the order of the combats. A unit may only attack one zone at a time. A zone may only be attacked/charged once per Combat Phase. Several units in different zones may attack the same zone together, providing they are all in adjacent zones. There may only be a maximum of 2 stacking points of combat units (of all types) and 1 stacking point of Artillery taking part in combat per zone, whether ghting in attack or defence. After the attacker has designated the unit(s) which are to attack, the defender then designates the defending unit(s). Before resolving combat, units of Light Cavalry and/or Mixed units which are in a zone that is not being Charged, only Attacked, and which are not yet marked Fatigue 2 may refuse combat. They retreat one or two zones, observing the rules for stacking and retreat after combat (see 10.6) and immediately receive one level of fatigue. The attacker may advance as if after combat if the zone is completely free.

The modiers for the tactical situations are cumulative. Each player rolls a die and adds the sum of his modiers to arrive at a nal result (ATT for the attacker and DEF for the defender). The nal result may never be less than 1. The results are then compared. - If DEF is greater than twice ATT then the attacker suffers Fatigue and Hit. - If DEF is greater than ATT then the attacker suffers Fatigue. - If ATT is equal to DEF then the attacker and the defender suffer Fatigue. - If ATT is greater than DEF then the defender suffers Fatigue. - If ATT is greater than twice DEF then the defender suffers Fatigue and Hit. The results are applied to all units engaged in the combat (but see below for Artillery). Units not involved in the combat suffer no effect unless the engaged units Retreat or Rout. In this event the unengaged units suffer a level of fatigue and must retreat. Fatigue: Each engaged unit (Artillery excepted) receives a level of fatigue. Supplementary Fatigue: a unit already marked Fatigue 2 which receives an extra level of fatigue must retreat 2 zones if it has to retreat, rather than 1 zone. Hit: Each engaged unit (Artillery excepted) suffers 1 Step Loss. Artillery unit(s) alone in a zone are eliminated. Losses: Losses are indicated by ipping the unit, or by replacing the unit with its half strength counter. If a unit suffers a Step Loss when it has only one step remaining, it is eliminated. Retreat: Depending on the defensive option chosen, the defender may have to retreat if he loses the combat. ATT>DEF ATT>2xDEF Retire in Good Order Reactive Hold the Ground R R R 10.6 - COMBAT RESULTS

Retreat/Rout priority: A unit that retreats or routs must distance itself by one or two zones from the zone in which it was located. Units that have routed must, as far as possible, move towards the Rally zone (zone 1 for the Austrian player, zone 214 for the French player). NB: Rally zone for Johann is zone 260 Retreat/Rout restrictions: A unit which retreats or routs and which enters a zone with at least one enemy Front, and without at least one friendly unit being present in the zone, suffers 1 automatic Step Loss. A unit that is retreating or routing must observe stacking limits at the end of its Retreat or Rout movement, or else move one further zone. It may reorient itself, unless there is already a friendly unit in the zone in which it has nished its movement. It must then adopt the orientation of the unit already present in the zone. It may not leave the map and it may not stop in an enemy ZoC. Advance after combat: A combat zone abandoned by its defending units may be occupied immediately by the attacking units, up to 2 stacking points; the occupying unit(s) may reorient itself/themselves in the occupied zone. Rout: If after combat a unit has suffered a Step Loss (either directly or as a result of retreating through the Front of an enemy unit) and if a Rout Value is marked on the counter (superscript 2 or 3), then the player rolls a die. If the result is lower than or equal to the units Rout Value, then the unit is Routed. An attacker who has chosen to Force the Decision may not be Routed unless it has lost the combat (ATT less than DEF). A unit that Routs retreats 2 zones. At the end of its movement place a Rout marker on it. A Routed unit, so long as it has not yet Rallied (see 12.2), may neither move nor attack. It is always considered as Fatigue 2 when it is attacked. The Round marker of the side that has just played is advanced by one space on the Turn Record Counter: - If the marker has not yet reached space 7, the turn continues and another Round is started; - If the Round marker has reached, or gone beyond, space 7, the player rolls 2d6 for a Continuation die roll; if this die roll is higher than or equal to the value of the space the Round marker is in, the turn continues and another Round is started; if the die roll is lower, then the Administrative Phase is carried out and the Game Turn ends. In the scenarios a modier for the Continuation die roll is indicated for one of the two sides.

11 - CONTINUATION PHASE

In the event of R, the defender retreats all his units by 1 zone (or 2 zones for all units which were already Fatigue 2 before the combat), moving away from the attacker. The attacker never retreats unless he is routed. Artillery that retreats must test for Manoeuvre. If the test is failed, the Artillery unit also suffers 1 Step Loss.

 The Grand Battery may not move, and is broken up whenever the player decides to do so. It may only be formed once in the game. All of its units may bombard as normal, each time that the Guard or any of the corps from which the other Artillery units originated are activated. Note: historically the Grand Battery was formed from the two units of the Guard Artillery and the Artillery of the Army of Italy. The French player may designate a corps and make certain of its Infantry units adopt an ad-hoc formation called a Divisional Square. It costs all the MPs from each unit to form/ join the Square. The Carr marker is placed in the selected zone. The units in the Divisional Square may spend no more than 1 MP in the subsequent Rounds, and may not become fatigued to increase this. However up to 3 stacking points may participate in a combat; the Divisional Square confers a modier of +1 in defence and all its zones are considered as Fronts when determining the Tactical Situation. Once formed, the Divisional Square is xed; units may neither join it nor leave it. The Divisional Square breaks up whenever the player wishes. It may only be formed once in the game. Note: Historically it was the Army of Italy that formed the Divisional Square around MacDonald.

14 - SCENARIOS
The units of the various corps are placed in he zones indicated. Each zone must contain at least one of the corps units (which may not be an Artillery unit). For certain units there may be compulsory placements. Certain units may start the scenario with losses, indicated by a negative value in brackets (-1 means the unit is ipped, -2 that the unit is replaced by its half strength counter). Certain corps may only enter play as part of an Option. The garrison of the Island of Lobau consists of Reyniers unit and a powerful Artillery group. These units do not move, unless due to the exception given below. The Artillery unit may carry out two bombardments (against one or two targets) once per game turn, during a French activation (a Fatigue marker is placed on the unit as a reminder it has been activated). These bombardments follow the normal rules, except that the Front is formed by the 6 zones that surround the Island of Lobau. Reyniers unit (alone) may leave the Island of Lobau, in which case the Austrian player gains 2 VPs . Next, place the Corps markers on the Orders Table as indicated in 12.5 (Initial Administrative Phase).

Surprise Austrian Attack: +1 on all initiative rolls and +1 modier in attack (not in defence) in favour of the Austrian on the rst turn. Since the rst turn is dawn, the Round markers of both players start in space 2 of the Activations Track; they are put back into space 0 during the Administrative Phase of Turn 1. Nordmans Corps and Nostitzs Cavalry are detached to Rozenbergs Corps; Nordmans Corps marker is removed. Bernadotte reacts badly: As soon as an Austrian unit enters the ZoC of one of Bernadottes units for the rst time, the French player rolls a die; on a roll of 1-4, the units of IX Corps retreat immediately as if after combat.

Johanns Arrival (+2 VPs for the French); Johanns Corps arrives on a roll of 1-3. Reuss Activation (+1 VP for the French); the marker is added to the Available box. (Historically Reuss Corps was not engaged on the 6th of July). The Divisional Square (+1VP for the Austrian): (see 13.3) Bernadotte holds better (+1 VP for the Austrian): IX Corps only retreats on a roll of 1-2 (see special scenario rule). The French player can detach a unit of the Reserve Cavalry (Bessires) to another corps. (Historically Arrighis division A was attached to Davouts Corps). Wredes division is attached to the Guard but can be detached to another corps. This scenario is played over both days. The set-up is the same as for Scenario 1 and the Victory Conditions are those of Scenario 2. The Special Rules are those of Scenario 1 for the rst day, and of Scenario 2 for the second day. If by the end of Turn 5 of the rst day, the French player has not won, both sides stop ghting, execute the Night Turn (6) and start again on Turn 7. In the Night Turn, the following rules apply: 1) Enemy units in contact each retreat one zone away from the other; if a unit occupies a village, a redoubt or a steep slope, this retreat is not compulsory. 2) Fatigue and Rout markers are removed from all units. 3) Units that have suffered at least 2 Step Losses roll a die. On a roll of 1-4 they recover 1 Step. 4) Each player secretly chooses two corps. In turn, starting with the French, each player reveals a Corps marker and carries out an Operational movement for that corps. He may not however approach any enemy unit that is three or less zones away.
