Fair Billing: Here is the Austrian OOB

I have also scoured Gill's Thunder on the Danube book for insight and unit availability for an expanded Teugn-Hausen fight. This also spills over into a fight over Eckmuhl if I believe correctly. The list is taken if not entirely for Gill's work, then nearly entirely. I have added my basing scheme in the paranthesis following the unit strength (I am using a 1:20 figure ratio). Enclosed is the order of battle I am shooting for:
