An account of the Austrians inflicting Napoleon's first major defeat. Thought it may be of interest.

Austrian Grenadiers Strom the Granary at Essling by Felician Myrbach

HUZZAH!!

Thanks for sharing Gregor, a very interesting read! The strategy is very fascinating in this whole campaign. I've enjoyed the granary assault battles over the years.
