Earlier thus year I used DBN to refight some battles of the 1809 campaign. The small game table (2ft square) and quick games are perfect for solo gaming on a kitchen or, when the weather is good, garden table. I used my 15mm Napoleonic collection which has been rebased and new flags issued. I used the scenarios available for Command and Colours with a bit of tweaking here and there. For my first game I selected the clash at Pordenone in Italy. The Austrians under Archduke John have invaded Italy which is defended by Eugene Army of Italy. This is a fairly even game with 11 units a side with Austrians attacking. Victory goes to the side which eliminates 5 units. If the French lose Pordenone it counts as an eliminated unit. The Austrians push forward their cavalry on the flank supported by horse artillery. The French are out numbered so give ground before the weight of numbers reduces the French cavalry to a single unit. In the centre the Austrians advance 2 light infantry units and are able to quickly inflict loses on the French defending Pordenone. French light cavalry unsuccessfully attack the Austrian artillery supporting the attack on Pordenone. The French are losing so they launch a flanking march of Infantry and artillery which is slowed down by an Austrian Light cavalry unit. With the scores tied at 4 units lost the Austrians are able to gain one more hit on the French infantry defending Pordenone removing it from play and giving the Austrians a 5-4 victory.
