The Battle of Aspern-Essling was fought on May 21-22, 1809.  Sometimes described as the first modern battle of attrition, it saw Napoleon and his Grande Armée pinned against the banks of the Danube by a ferocious and well-planned Austrian assault.  A day of desperate fighting resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, as the two key villages switched hands time and again.  It was Napoleon's first tactical defeat.  Careful propaganda at home and the victory at Wagram a month later hid the scale and significance of the setback from the French public.  Nevertheless, Aspern-Essling marked a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars, signaling a shift from the rapid French victories of maneuver and surprise that marked La Gloire, to the bloody battles of attrition which were to come.  Aspern-Essling foreshadowed not only the bloodbaths of Wagram, Borodino, Leipzig, and Waterloo, but the worst fighting of the 20th Century as well.

This map allows you to recreate the Battle of Aspern-Essling with your Forward March Studios 3D printed miniatures, or any other figures you have in your collection. This map includes a ground-scale in the bottom right-hand corner so you can determine the best print-size for the rules and miniatures you use. The file is detailed enough so that it can be printed crisply at poster-size or larger. Discuss your requirements with a professional print shop before undertaking to print the map; the last thing you want to do is invest hard-earned money only to find out that the final print is too large or too small for your models!
