Wargaming: "In the Grand Manner" Battle of Eckmuhl

Rosenberg's orders are to hold his position.  The Hapsburg's are strongly posted in battle array along a series of wooded ridge tops.  The Austrian right flank is situated behind the Gross Laber River and anchored on the Rogging Heights.  This flank is defended by a brigade of infantry and a foot battery commanded by Gen. Bieber.  The town of Eckmuhl and its all important bridge and the Bettel Berg, a dominant terrain feature on which Rosenberg has sited two 12-lb batteries of 20 guns, are located in the center.  The left flank is firmly secured on the village strongpoint of Laichling and a wooded hill immediately behind the village.

The situation at 1:00 pm.  This photo depicts the battlefield from the French perspective looking toward the Austrian positions.  napoleon arrives from Landshut at 1:00 in the afternoon and immediately deploys to seize the Eckmuhl bridge  and to cross the Gross Laber River and assault the Rogging Heights.  Davout on the French right had been directed by Napoleon to launch an assault as soon as he observes the Emperor's arrival.  This pinning attack would prevent Rosenberg from shifting troops to block the French assault over the Laber River
