The Emperor’s Greatest Triumph
The Battle of Austerlitz stands as one of the most legendary moments in military history, a clash where precision, timing, and sheer brilliance shaped the course of empires. Known as the Battle of the Three Emperors, this scenario places you at the heart of Napoleon’s greatest masterpiece. Step onto the frozen fields of Moravia, where dense morning fog, daring maneuvers, and unexpected turns defined a confrontation etched forever into the annals of warfare. Here, you will command either the perfectly disciplined Grand Armée of France or the vast and determined coalition forces of Russia and Austria, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and tactical identity.
In this 36-turn showdown, every decision matters. Will you push Soult’s corps to seize the Pratzen Heights in a bold strike, anchor Lannes on the northern flank, or survive the crushing weight of the Russian and Austrian numbers until reinforcements arrive? Will you unleash Davout’s III Corps in a perfectly timed counterstroke, just as the real battle turned in Napoleon’s favor? Or will you, as the Allies, coordinate your powerful but unwieldy formations, unleash your reserve artillery at the crucial moment, and overwhelm the French positions through sheer force and relentless pressure? With asymmetric forces, elite regiments, and commanders that shape entire sectors of the battlefield, Austerlitz offers the ultimate test of tactical mastery in Marshals Unleashed.

Timeline Overview
The Battle of Austerlitz is played over 36 turns. From Turns 1–6, dense morning fog reduces all artillery range by –1 operational zone, shaping the early movements and restricting long-range fire. On Turn 7, Davout’s III Corps arrives on the French right flank, bringing up to 4 reinforcement units and shifting the balance as the battle intensifies. Starting from Turn 18, the Allied reserve artillery begins entering the battlefield, with up to 4 artillery units deployable per turn until their full allotment is reached. Throughout the scenario, both sides must follow the core reinforcement rule: no more than 4 units may enter the battlefield on any given turn. This creates a carefully paced, dynamic progression from fog-bound maneuvering to full-scale, decisive combat.
