Snappy Nappy

The Austrian Invasion of Italy 1809
Archduke John vs. Prince Eugene

Snappy Nappy Order of Battle

by Russ Lockwood and Dan Burkley

Umpire Note: Special thanks to Dan Burkley for not only fine-tuning my initial OB, but printing out all the labels AND labelling the bases AND creating/printing out the roster sheets used by the players. And if that was not enough, he supplied ALL the troops except for the pontoon bridge train (from Rich Pichnarczyk) and one general (mine). Without his help, this recreation of the 1809 invasion would not have existed!

All artillery units are 1 stand, while infantry and cavalry units are 2 stands. Each unit is approximately a regiment, while each artillery stand represents about 12 guns. To increase the fog of war, commanders and units have been re-arranged slightly from historical OB. A good historical starting OB (paper strength) can be found in Armies on the Danube 1809.

Austrian IR = Infantry Regiment. This is followed by its numerican designation and any applicable title.
Dragoons: Move as Heavy Cavalry and fight as Light Cavalry.
Starting Snappy Nappy Morale Levels are listed as well.
