Campaign Move 2

1600 2^nd September 1813

11^th Bavarian division held the town of Altheim, and was the forward division of 8^th French corps.  They were tasked to take and hold a crossing of the river Inn.   They sent their hussar brigade to cross and recce the road bridge to Raab.   Unwilling to risk a major engagement they were on Move orders.   As such they would observe, but not engage, the enemy.

As they crossed the bridge they observed a the Austrian division in and around Raab forming column of attack just west of the town.   When they were formed the Austrians advanced towards the river.

The Bavarian cavalry immediately turned about and returned to Altheim.   Before they did so they had plenty of time to observe the strength and composition of the enemy division, which was duly reported to General Vandamme the commander of 8^th French corps.
