Campaign Summary – 7th September 1813

All quiet on the northern front as both 1^st Austrian and 7^th French corps resupplied, rested and reinforced their divisions.   However General Lichtenstein has allowed a large gap to develop between his two corps, at last a full days march.    If General Wrede takes advantage of this tactical error the Austrians could suffer a serious defeat.

General Klenau is lulled into a false sense of security by the deployment of only one French division on the west bank of the river Inn.   He takes advantage of this apparent pause to resupply and reinforce 2^nd Austrian corps.   However General Bertrand orders his 11^th division to attack towards Raab, while sending his 5^th division south over the river then east along the river bank to support them.   A very risky tactic, but he pulls it off and defeats the Austrians.

Another surprise for the Austrians in the south.  Having won the first day of the battle of Vockabruck, General Lederer orders 2^nd Austrian corps to advance and occupy the town.   He is unaware that 9^th French corps has had 4^th division (who suffered most casualties) replaced by 2^nd (Young Guard) division.   A second day of battle is fought at Vockabruck and this time the Austrians defeated and forced to retreat.
