Please note that these orders of battle are drawn from a number of different sources based on parade states taken before and after the actual battle. The actual composition of the various divisions and brigades, numbers of batteries attached etc., varied from day to day and week to week. In the case of the Austrian Hilfkorps, in particular, various additional units joined the corps during the actual campaign, such as the Beaulieu and Duka Infantry Regiments. As such the order of battle is offered as a guide only, but certainly for the purposes of the wargamer hopefully the guide is accurate enough. Also note that all unit strengths are all approximate.
