Orders – Move to Salzburg

4 Command Points

Move general within command distance of infantry

Double move infantry towards the ford

Reposition the general


Austrian infantry move to secure ford held by cavalry and artillery


Bavarian infantry move forward to prevent enemy crossing ford

Now that it is obvious that the Austrians intend to cross by the ford, Klenau must get his infantry across the river whilst the cavalry are still able to hold it. Should the hussars be driven off the Austrian attack must fail.
