We pick up the game at the start of the Austrian 1230 turn.
The Austrians waste no time in launching an attack on Chambarlhac's Division
as well as a spoiling attack on the French heavy cavalry.
The attacks were very successful, and the Austrian cavalry seeks out fresh targets.
Without giving the French time to recover the Austrian cavalry again attack.
It looks dire, but Murat saves the day.
Around this stage both sides have exhausted all their free-rolls.
It is 1330.
The Austrians have an overwhelming amount of cavalry and run down Napoleon.
His horse is shot out from under him, but he struggled free,
grabbed a riderless horse, remounted and will return to action...
Murat saves the day again!
After routing one unit of Austrian cavalry, he hits another.
And another, until the French cavalry are exhausted
and dissipated due to winner's losses.
Murat then joins his final brigade of cavalry that has just arrived.
The Austrian artillery has blasted the French defenders of Marengo into oblivion,
but there is still a battery to overcome.
At Castel Ceriolo one half of the place has been vacated due to excessive French losses.
Murat has joined his final brigade of cavalry that has just arrived.
Monnier's Division has arrived and started to deploy along with the Guard
and Marmont has now got the reserve artillery in position.
Victor remains at the crossroads near Marengo.
