Below you can see the handful of pictures I took with some explications . Apologies for not taking more.
These show Landshut on the first and second day. On the left we see the slow approach of the Austrian fourth corps while the Bavarians decamp to prepared positions.
This completed the action at Landshut and the Austrians would pay dearly for both their slow preparations and the stubborn Bavarian defence. On the late afternoon of the second day the fourth corps reorganised and began the western march that would bring them to the Ingolstadt area on the late afternoon of the third day. Third corps pursuing the Bavarians would arrive at Ratisbon to find the fifth corps and the cavalry in disarray after a drubbing on the second day by a single French corps.
On day two the Austrians hurled themselves at second corps and broke. The hail of artillery and infantry fire they received from the mainly Bavarian troops shattered their attack and forced them off the board to the east to re organise and prepare to return to the fray. Lannes refused to follow and after receiving news of the Austrians passing of the Isaar at Landshut prepared to meet the refreshed Austrians plus any enemy corps coming from Landshut. Having sent the Bavarians back down the road to Ingolstadt he prepared for a heroic defence on the third day. Day three saw the Austrians advance time and time again only to be repulsed . The last attack took place at last light as the fresh third corps arrived in the area to find his fellow countrymen bloodied and fatigued after a hard days fighting. Indeed although being outnumbered the French were better prepared for the possible conflict on the following and fourth day.
On the evening of day two the Austrian sixth corps arrived expecting to find the victorious troops from Landshut and hopefully some of the corps from Ratisbon in position for the attack. The field was bare apart from the French who were beginning to gather at Ingolstadt . The town was held by the third of the Bavarian divisions and at dawn the first of Massena's fourth corps were beginning to cross the river. By the afternoon the Austrians were informed of the advance from Landshut of their fourth corps and they could see more enemy arriving from the north on the far bank of the Danube ( the Saxons) . With this news the Austrians decided to attack Massena before he could form his defence. The fighting with the confederation troops was hard and the Austrians were forced back slowly towards the arriving Austrian fourth corps. As evening came on the third day the Saxons were across the river and the Austrian morale fell further as they heard of the Ratisbon defeat but they decided to reform during the night and align with the Austrian fourth corps. The last straw came at dusk on the third day when the sound of cheering announced the arrival of Napoleon and the guard at the outskirts of Ingolstadt. The Austrians decided it was time to prepare for the long march back to Vienna.
To sum up, it is a shame we had no good photographic record of the day but on the other hand I found myself very tired but extremely satisfied at the close of Saturdays play. Would I do it again? Possibly but not for a few months. heheheh On Sunday I relaxed with a game of "Muskets and tomahawks", a game I had never played before. I liked it very much. Watch this space hahahah
