A scenario for Song of Drums and Shakos

I have been working on my last and 'brilliant' idea about using SDS for a small skirmish previous to the combat of Wethau (and fighting an inopportune flu simultaneously). The s rosters and statisticfor the Austrian and French parties are finished. The French party will be composed from Voltigeurs of a Light Infantry Regiment whereas the Austrians will be rifle and musket armed Jagers. Both parties will be commanded by a leader and a NCO.

The gametable is shown in the Figure. The grey central square is the legal SDS playing area for 20mm figures: a 90x90 cm. The general description is a wooded zone traversed by the Wethau stream with a bridge carrying the highway. A house protects the bridge.
