Project Austerlitz

O.P.S. C.E.N.S. JMK

Program of Austerlitz 2004 for Participants

The town of Vyskov (Wischau) and further the nearby villages are being continuously occupied by the Coalition forces and the French. Both armies head towards Austerlitz. Marches are being interrupted by local brushes and clashes. On Friday night the armies are garrisoned in divided Austerlitz and in the morning they move into their initial positions nearby Mokra-Horakov...

...later on mutual brushes break out and the French army pushes their enemy towards the village of Tvarozna. There the decisive battle will take part ending up with the total Allied defeat. The Allied army retreats into its initial positions, the French master the battlefield. Afterwards both sides sign the armistice, soldiers celebrate and return home. On Sunday all together hold the piety act for the fallen.
