Salute!
I am a big fan of the Eckmuhl game for the variation of scenarios it offers.
Not such a fan of how the scenario titles are listed in the main menu though.
You really need to look at the scenarios one at a time and pay attention to the alphabetical and numerical listing for them - because otherwise you just see Eckmuhl listed 50 times!
Once you explore the scenarios you will find that there are usually a historical version of the battle along with multiple alternative versions that add or take away forces for each side.
The campaign game (500+ turns) is a monster indeed, just the kind I like to play - and I find it a very tough challenge for the French - that it may truly take a genius of Napoleon to overcome the errors of Berthier in implementing the Master's deployment at the beginning.
There is a version (much like the Six Day's scenarios in Jena-Auerstadt) that allows both sides to choose their own deployments - which I prefer over the historical version. Keeps the opposing players honest, as it were.
I have played an Abensberg scenario, several Eckmuhl scenarios, Hunting Davout, and currently involved in the R&H mod of the full campaign scenario - which has a thread somewhere here in the tavern, that probably needs updating.
