The Battle of Solferino24th June 1859
The battle of Solferino was the climatic battle of the war of 1859. The Austrians had been forced onto the defensive flowing the battle of Magenta and this days bloody fighting would decide the war. It saw the bulk of the two available Austrian armies take on the combined allied armies of the French and Piedmontese. The fighting can be divided into 3 sectors. In the north the Austrians under Benedek successfully held off the Piedmontese army. The south initially saw parts of the French army attacking, but as Austrian reinforcements arrived the tables turned. Giving the Austrians an opportunity to secure victory, which in the event they spurned. Instead the main attack of the French army was to wrestle the heavily defended area around Solferino from the Austrians and win the day for the allies.
This page gives the details necessary for recreating, on the tabletop, this decisive encounter. The rules used are my own adaption of the excellent 'Fire and Fury' rules for the mid nineteenth century European wars. While it should also be noted that much of the detail of the scenario is adapted from Martin Soilleux-Cardwell's scenario, at VnB Solferino . To whom this piece owns a great debt, although any mistakes, etc are attributable to my own poor efforts

San Martino, Northern sector or the battlefield.
Scale and Notes:
The scale is 1 stand = 300 men and 1 model gun = 12 real pieces for this scenario.
The battle is very large and is spread over 3 large tables. It may be played in 3 different ways. Firstly, of course, you can play the entire battle on one very large table, assuming the figures, time, space, etc available permit this. Unfortunately few of us are lucky enough to possess all, or indeed any, of these things so I propose to alternative methods of recreating the battle. The first of these is fighting each individual sector as a seperate battle, converting the game into 3 'mini' battles. The size of the battle is such this should produce a good days gaming for most people. The second alternative is to fight the battle as 2 seperate battles, i.e. the French at Solferino and the Piedmontese at Solferino. For the two allied armies had little contact with each other on the day and effectively fought seperate battles. This also has the advantage of largely eliminating the potential of cross table combats which may occur if the two 'wings' of the French army are seperated.
Length of the battle: The battle starts with the 07:00 Allied phase and finishes with the 21:00 Austrian phase, or with the mutual agreement of both sides. The whole battle may be brought to an end or a sector / table. The Allies move first each turn. Units on the southern sector / table may not move until the 08:00 turn. During the 17:00 turn the Thunderstorm rules are in effect (see 'Special rules' below). While the 'Post Thunderstorm' rules (see 'Special Rules' below) apply in all turns after 17:00, ie from 17:30 onwards.

Starting with the 12:00 Allied Turn the Piedmontese player or players may chose one of the following formations to attempt to bring on as a reinforcement. 3rd Division, 4th Division, Cavalry Division or the Army Artillery Reserve. They state which unit they are rolling for and which of the 6 squares in the D row they will appear in. Place a marked in the square to indicate that the unit, if it arrives, will arrive there. This marked may not be subsequently moved if the unit fails to arrive that turn, the unit is committed to arriving there when it does arrive. A single D6 is then rolled and on a 6 that unit may make a move onto the table. Only one unit a turn may be rolled for. Any units appearing will be in column of March or Limbered.

Maps

Terrain:
All the villages and towns give a -1 fire and melee bonus, except Solferino Tower (E9) which gives a -2.
The rivers, marked with a thick line are impassable except were crossed by a road or a bridge. These are the 6 small sections coming from the north on to the northern map. The Redona river which goes from square D6 through to K5 and is in the Northern and Central sectors. Finally the Chiese river which runs from A13 to A16 on the southern board.
All other rivers count as a 1" wide stream for movement and gives a -1 combat advantage to units defending them.
The woods (Green patches) counts as rough going for movement and gives a -1 advantage in fire combat and melee.
The patches of rough ground (Orange patches) count as rough going for movement and block line of sight, but do not give any fire or melee advantages.
The slopes in the Northern sector with orange hatching around them and the hill that these enclose are extremely difficult going. Only troops in Skirmish formation may cross them / move on them and they do so at half rate.
Weapon Notes:
In reality a percentage, 30 to 40%, were armed with muskets. While similarly some of the French artillery was still smoothbore. I have chosen to count all the Austrian's, except the Grenzer, as being rifle armed and similarly all the French artillery.
Tactical Doctrine:
General: Units marked L are in skirmish formation
French: All units marked with A, get all the benefits and disadvantages of Assault tactics if they are in Supported Line or Attack Column. In addition units marked with a I, receive all the benefits and disadvantages. All French Infantry receive a -1 on the manoever chart if they are in Unsupported Line formation.
Piedmontese: All infantry units receive a -2 on the manoever chart if they are not in Assault Column, Column of March or Skirmishing. They DO NOT receive the bonuses, etc of being in Assault Column.
Austrian: All non skirmishing infantry receive a -1 if they are in Unsupported Line.
Special Rules:
The Emperors: Normally commanders higher than Corps level are not represented in Fire and Fury games. In this case they have a limited role on the battlefield. The Emperors may act as a higher, additional, commander in the chain of command. They have a command radius of 2" only. Victor Emanuele is a Exceptional Leader, while the other Emperors are ordinary leaders. The allied Emperors may only effect units of their own nation.
Decaen (2nd Division, 2nd French Corps): This commander showed noteable aggression during this battle. Therefore units under his command may not voluntarily move away from the enemy. Although they are still allowed to withdraw the minimum distance required to replenish ammunition. In addition they must comply with any result obtained on the movement table or from close combat that requires a retreat, withdraw or rout.
The Thunderstorm: At 17:00 there was a thunderstorm which effected the rest of the battle. During this turn all fire combat involving Infantry suffers a -2 dice roll modifier and all other combat a -1. In the post thunderstorm turns Infantry fire combat receives a -1 dice roll modifier, other combat is not effected. Plus all movement is at 3/4 the normal speed.
Victory Conditions:
The normal victory point can be earned for enemy units being worn, spent, etc. With the exception that skirmishing infantry units (those marked with a L) and cavalry are worth half the points of a normal unit.
Death of an Emperor: Strictly speaking the death of any of the Emperors present would have brought the battle to an end. So that the battle may continue the following rules may be used. If one of the Emperors dies during the game the opponent gets the following victory points, 50 if the Piedmontese Emperor dies, 100 if the French and 150 if the Austrian. They also automatically get the victory points they can gain on the sectors of the battlefield that the effected nation occupies. The nation that has lost its Emperor must move its forces off the table as quickly as possible. Units of that nation must make at least a half move each turn (if allowed to by the movement tables) towards exiting the board from the side they originally occupied. For each unit that they exit off the table within 4 turns of the Emperors death they receive 1 victory point, within the 5th to 8th turns after a death they receive half a victory points per unit. For example if the Piedmontese Emperor is killed during the 13:00 turn the following things would happen. The Austrian's would receive 50 v.p's for his death and 50 v.p
