Ok, we had a strange Victory result. The Austrians only lost 1 piece but the French lost 6. This is a Draw?
Yes, this may seem a little strange but the French had additional forces in the area. These would have been brought in. –probably already on the way once they heard the battle. So the French would have been battered but not broken.
The Austrians would be forced to retire back to Alexandrie. They are still bottled up, isolated and out of supply. They would be soon forced to surrender.
The Austrians must be very aggressive in this game. There is no Minor Victory option for the Austrians. You either breakout and win, or essentially you lose. We haven’t defined a ‘draw’ specifically. A better description of this would be: both players lose.
This isn’t the kind of battle where you can tangle a bit, and then declare a technical victory by scoring a few more hits than the enemy did. You must crush the enemy and break them. If you can’t do that, you’ve lost.
