Austria suffered a major defeat at the hands of Napoleon in 1805. This led to the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1809 Austria sought revenge for this insult. Austrian armies marched on Bavaria in an attempt to defeat Napoleon's forces while they were separated. The French and their allies proved they were up to the challenge and sent the Austrians packing. Now Napoleon is on the offensive and is racing towards Vienna. Take up your Marshall's baton as the French. Attempt to destroy the Austrian army before it can unite. Or as Archduke Charles, defeat Napoleon's forces on the legendary Marchfeld.
