La Bataille de Deutsch-Wagram4the Earthwork. Units inside an Earthwork fired on through flank orrear hexsides have the Fire Defense of units in Column in clearterrain. Units outside of an Earthwork use the column on the FireDefense Chart for Clear terrain.5.1.9 Firing from Inside an Earthwork: One infantry and oneartillery unit may fire from an Earthwork. Infantry units use theirprinted Fire Value.5.1.10 Assaulting Earthworks: Units assaulting an Earthworkthrough the Earthwork’s front hexsides modify their Roll to Closedice roll by -3.5.1.11 Charging Earthworks: Cavalry which charges an Earthworkthrough its front hexsides have their Mêlée Value multiplied by 1/3.Cavalry which successfully charges units in an Earthwork do notadvance into the Earthwork in the Advance after Charge step andsince there is no advance there are no Opportunity Reactions.However, the units which Charged still become Disordered, if notalready Disordered. There is no Pursuit of units in Earthworks. Skipthe Pursuit step of the Mêlée procedure. After the Mêlée results areexecuted, if any, the cavalry may conduct Cavalry Regroupmovement if allowed and the Charge ends.NOTE: This modifier supersedes all other Mêlée Valuemodifiers applicable to cavalry.Designer’s NOTE: For the most part the earthworks wererelatively small and do not occupy the entire hex. Indeed in manycases not all the troops and guns positioned at the earthworks couldfit inside and were deployed beside or behind. In addition theearthworks were relatively short in height and numerous shot andshell passed over. Also, keep in mind the earthworks are notunassailable bastions of defense. Without an active defendermounting counterattacks and sending in reinforcements they aremerely piles of dirt.5.1.12 Austrian Artillery in the Russbach Earthworks doesnot consume ammunition.5.1.13 French Artillery in the Bridgehead Earthworks orLobau/Stadtler Arm Islands does not consumeammunitionNOTE: Ammunition rules only apply to players using theRèglements de l’An XXX.5.2 Streams and Bridges5.2.1 Streams:5.2.1.1 Only infantry and light cavalry units may cross an unbridgedstream hexside. All artillery and heavy cavalry units may only crossa stream at a bridged hexside. Personalities may always move freelyacross streams.5.2.1.2 Cavalry may not Mêlée, Charge or Pursue across unbridgedstream hexsides.5.2.1.3 Infantry assaulting across unbridged stream hexsides mustapply a -12 Roll to Close modifier.5.2.1.4 Units that are forced to retreat across the Russbach Stream,that are not normally allowed to cross it, become PGD and lose oneincrement.5.2.2 Bridges: Combat units may Assault or Charge across a bridge,but the following conditions apply.5.2.2.1 The assaulting unit may not make an Offensive Fire Attackduring the Assault Procedure.5.2.2.2 Only one infantry battalion or cavalry regiment may Assaultor Charge across a single bridge hexside.5.2.2.3 Infantry must be in Column (Battalion Masse) or SkirmishOrder when assaulting across a bridge. Cavalry units must be inColumn in order to Charge across a bridge.5.2.2.4 Infantry subtracts 6 from its Roll to Close dice roll, whenassaulting across a bridge.5.2.2.5 Cavalry units multiply their Mêlée Value by 1/3 as if thecavalry was attacking into General Order.5.3 Flood DykesDesigner’s NOTE: There are flood dykes surrounding Aspern &Essling as well as a dyke connecting the two villages. Aspern Churchand The Master’s Garden are outside the flood dykes.5.3.1 When fired on exclusively through Flood Dyke hexsides add 6to the Fire Defense of the units in the hex.5.3.2 Units assaulting across a Flood Dyke hexside modify their Rollto Close dice roll by -6.5.3.3 Units which are assaulted or charged exclusively across FloodDyke hexsides have their Roll to Stand dice roll modified by 6.5.3.4 Cavalry which charges across a Flood Dyke have their MêléeValue multiplied by 1/3. Cavalry which successfully charges unitsbehind a Flood Dyke do not Advance after Charge, but if a Mêléewas conducted it still becomes Disordered, if not already Disordered.There is no Pursuit of units behind Flood Dykes. Skip the Pursuit stepof the Mêlée procedure. After the Mêlée results are executed, if any,the cavalry may conduct Cavalry Regroup movement if allowed andthe Charge ends.5.3.5 Stacking: Units behind a Flood Dyke use the other terrain inthe hex to determine stacking limitations.5.3.6 Zones of Influence: Zones of Influence extend across FloodDyke hexsides.5.3.7 Line of Sight: Flood Dykes do not block Line of Sight.5.3.8 Formation: Units behind a Flood Dyke use the other terrain inthe hex to determine the permitted formations.5.4 Special StructuresDesigner’s NOTE: The special structures are all on the Drivefor the Bridges map, Aspern Church & Graveyard were on a moundjust west of Aspern Village and surrounded by a chest high stonewall, the Granary, stone built with iron doors and barred windowswas on the north side of Essling Village. The Master’s Garden was astone walled garden just north of Essling, adjacent to a stone Dairy.The Master’s Garden represents both these structures.5.4.1 Line of Sight: Special Structures block Line of Sight.5.4.2 Zones of Influence: Zones of Influence do not extend intoSpecial Structure hexes.5.4.3 Stacking: Up to 6 increments or 1 battalion of infantry maystack in a Special Structure hex. Units may voluntarily stack in aSpecial Structure without the presence of a friendly leader.5.4.3.1 Regimental Presentation: Infantry units in RegimentalPresentation with more than 6 increments, and which have battalioncounters, must break down into battalions before entering a SpecialStructure hex. The battalions entering may total no more than 6increments. These rules apply for all forms of movement voluntary orinvoluntary.5.4.4 Movement: Only infantry may deploy in a Special Structurehex. Cavalry and artillery may not enter a Special Structure hex,except to pass through it and only if they enter and exit via aroad/highway or trail while in Road Column. A cavalry or artilleryunit that passes through the hex may not stop in the hex, and may notenter the hex unless its current movement potential is sufficient toallow it to continue into the adjoining hex.5.4.5 Formation: A unit deployed in a Special Structure is alwaysconsidered as if in Square as long as it is in good order (notDisordered or PGD). It thus has the facing and Zone of Influence of aSquare, the firing pattern and fire effects of a Square, and the moralemodifier of a Square. Unlike a Square a unit in a Special Structuredoes not have to subscribe to the 3 increments minimum to receivethese benefits. Units may not employ Skirmish Order while in aSpecial Structure. No unit may be deployed in a Special Structure andin some other hex at the same time.5.4.6 Fire Combat: Infantry units firing on a Special Structure halvetheir Fire Values. Artillery firing on a Special Structure does notreceive the Point Blank Range benefit and uses its Long Range FireValue regardless of the actual distance. Regardless of the size ofdefending forces, a maximum of 6 increments may be used to firefrom a Special Structure.

La Bataille de Deutsch-Wagram55.4.7 Assault: Only infantry may Assault a Special Structure hex(that is Cavalry may neither Charge nor Mêlée units in SpecialStructures). Only 6 increments may Assault or defend a SpecialStructure hex. Regardless of the size of the forces, only six parts ofthe attacking or defending forces may be used for attack or defense.Infantry assaulting one of these hex does not have its Mêlée Valuemodified as if attacking a Square.5.4.7.1 Roll to Stand: Units in Special Structures automaticallyStand when assaulted. They must still roll the dice, however, todetermine if they deliver effective Defensive Fire and receive anyDefensive Shifts, but do not Disorder for Roll to Stand failure.5.4.7.2 Sapeurs: Sapeurs stacked with infantry in an Assault on aSpecial Structure hex will cause a one column shift in their favor onthe Assaut et Mêlée Chart. They must be part of the assault to causethis column shift.5.4.7.3 Assault and Mêlée Results: Defending units ignore all DRand DD# combat results on the Assaut et Mêlée Chart, instead theylose one increment from their strength.5.4.7.4 Roll to Close: Remember to apply the slope modifier for allassaults on the Aspern Church.5.5 Russbach Marsh / SwampMAP ERROR: On the map that contains Scenario 2 there is acluster of 3 wooded hexes near the Russbach Stream. The Swamphexes immediately adjacent to these woods hexes should beconsidered clear terrain.5.5.1 Only infantry may enter Swamp hexes. In order to enter (orAssault into) a Swamp hex the infantry must pass a Morale Check. Ifsuccessful enter the Swamp hex, paying the movement cost to enterthe hex(es). If unsuccessful stand in place and move no further andmake no formation or facing change.5.5.2 Infantry, which are not in Skirmish Order, that are forced toretreat into a Swamp become PGD and lose 1increment per Swamphex exited during their retreat.5.5.3 Artillery may only enter Swamp hexes through connecting trailor road hexes. They may not unlimber in a Swamp hex.5.5.4 Cavalry may not Charge into Swamp hexes. Nor may theconduct Pursuit into such hexes.5.6 Aspern-Essling SwampsThe swamps around Aspern-Essling contained many tracks, whichare not marked on the maps, so are more accessible to infantry andcavalry units.5.6.1 Infantry and cavalry units that are not in Skirmish Order enterGeneral Order upon entering a Swamp hex.5.6.2 Artillery may only enter Swamp hexes through connecting trailor road hexes. They may not unlimber in a Swamp hex.5.7 Villages5.7.1 Line of Sight: Village hexes block Line of Sight.5.7.2 Stacking: Village hexes require formed units, (i.e. those not inSkirmish Order, Disorder or PGD), to enter General Order uponentering.5.7.3 Cavalry Charge: Cavalry may not Pursue retreating units intoVillage hexes. The Pursuit stops at the Village’s edge.5.8 Woods5.8.1 Line of Sight: Woods hexes block Line of Sight.5.8.2 Stacking: Woods hexes require formed units, (i.e. those not inSkirmish Order, Disorder or PGD), to enter General Order uponentering.5.8.3 Cavalry Charge: Cavalry may not Pursue retreating units intoWoods hexes. The Pursuit stops at the Wood’s edge.5.8.4 Artillery may only enter Woods hexes through connecting trailor road hexes. They may not unlimber in a Woods hex.5.9 General OrderThe following terrain requires formed units to enter General Orderwhen entering: Special StructuresWoodsVillagesAspern-Essling Swamps5.10 Depots5.10.1 French: The South map edge east of Raasdorf, and / or thebridges over the Stadtler Arm onto Lobau Island.5.10.2 Allies: Any road leading off the North or West map edge, ifArchduke Johann enters then his Korps may use the east edge northof the Russbach.5.11 Terrain and Artillery RicochetArtillery fire which targets the following hexes terminatesin them. Ricochet fire may bounce into, but not through thefollowing hexes. Earthworks Villages Wood hexes Swamp hexes Special StructuresNOTE: Artillery Ricochet only applies to the Règlements de l’AnXXX.5.11.1 Slopes and Artillery Ricochet: Artillery Ricochet terminateswhere it meets an upslope or Flood Dyke hexside. Where ArtilleryRicochet meets a down slope hexside, the slopes creates a one hexshadow over which the shot will pass with no effect beforecontinuing along the shot path.6.0 COMMANDThe Organization and Display Charts reveal the command structureof the armies.
