"The French forces were arrayed here. As you'll recall from our discussion of the Ulm Campaign over the appetizers, Napoleon had just captured a big chunk of the Austrian army and occupied the Austrian capital of Vienna, but he feigned confusion and weakness in his own ranks by intentionally evacuating the Pratzen heights"

*draws circle, labels it "PRATZEN"*

"Now here on the far right of the Allied lines, guarding the road to Olmutz, was a unit commanded by General Bagration. Remember that name, it's going to come up again later."

But, to her surprise, there are two dudes in the apartment. It's mance rayder and bob woodward pu. And they're wearing britches.

"I think the best way to learn about the Treaty of Pressburg is to reenact the negotiations", Charles said. "I've invited my friends over to serve as the Austrian foreign minister Count von Cobenzl and Emperor Francis"

He then puts a three corner hat on his shocked date. "You will be playing Napoleon. Remember the crushing victory you just won, and consider what kind of concessions you can extract. If you need help, I will be role playing your foreign minister Charles Maurice de Talleyrand but lets see how much you can do on your own"

He needed to take DC. The south controlling DC and setting their capital there would have changed the war completely and likely would have resulted in foreign intervention.

The Russians were the first to learn this and make the most out of it.
