Campaign Move 13

1200 6^th September 1813

At first light General Lederer, the newly appointed commander of 3^rd Austrian corps, ordered the attack on Vockabruck.

General Vandamme commanded the isolated 9^th French corps which held the town.   He had hoped that he might receive the support promised by Marshal Oudinot before he came under attack, but it was not to be.

Vockabruck was the most easterly of the French corps, and the only one east of the river Inn.   The nearest friendly troops was the French reserve at Frankenburg, a full days march to the west.
