Guys - if I could recommend one scenario from the HPS Campaign Austerlitz game its #17H. The Main Show (HTH).

Its a slice in time of the battle which takes you to the area from the northern section where Lannes fought the Allied Advance Guard to the Pratzen Heights in the south.

The battlefield is deep enough to provide enough ground for the time allotted. I played John Sheffield in this one and its a really tough one for the French to win. The Allies may have a tougher time perhaps.

It always depends on the players for the most part.

Anyway, its not too long and there are just the right amount of forces.

I call this my McClellan Special! [8D] Not too long, not too short, not too many troops but plenty to move around.

Probably a good tourny situation too.

Its begging for more hypothetical variations as well such as one of the Allied columns coming back to help out or perhaps an earlier arrival of the Russian Guards.

I would enjoy hearing your feedback on any of the scenarios you play from Austerlitz. Email me for a playtest review form if you want to send me feedback as it organizes your information in a way that is most helpful to me. Anything that needs correcting will only help your fellow gamer enjoy the battle that much more.
