30.0 SCENARIO TWENTY-FOUR: "The Battle of Wagram"

There is no Austrian V Corps in the game (it was located off the battlefield). Simply extend the setup area of the Austrian III Corps to include the frontage marked on the map for the V Corps.

On the Wagram Information Chart (page 16) in the FRENCH section, the PdLEG line should be deleted and that line changed to read:

PtLEG Port. Leg. Inf. -2 +1 +6 -5 2/3 5/D 4"/0   2" 16" 2/1 2/1 2"

 

23.8 ASSIGNED COMMANDER CHARTS:

On the Austrian 1805 - 1815 Assigned Commander Chart (page 37), the IN INS" Corps should read II INS".

The top row of the French 1805 - 1815 Assigned Commander Chart (page 38) is incorrect and should read as follows:

IMP GD: 8"G(6)+1 (PC) or 5"G(6)+1 (TC)

1st: 5"G(6)+1

2nd: 4"E(8)+1

3rd: 4"A(6)+1

4th: 3"G(7)+0

ARTY: 5"G(8)+0(D) I: 10"E(8)+1 (PC)

or 7"E(8)+1 (TC)

2nd: 5"E(8)+2

3rd: 4"G(6)+1

4th: 3"G(7)+0

On the Russian 1805 – 1815 Assigned Commander Chart (page 39) there is no V Corps (the Russian Guard Corps was their V Corps).
