In the
Battle of Jemappes on 6 November 1792, a
French army led by
Charles François Dumouriez attacked and defeated an
Austrian army commanded by
Albert of Saxe-Teschen . Though the Austrians were outnumbered three-to-one, the victory greatly encouraged the population of the young
First French Republic and lead to the evacuation of
Austrian forces from the
Austrian Netherlands . Note: all units have their names as they are translated in English.
Army of the Ardennes
The Army of the Ardennes is led by
Divisional General
Charles-François du Périer Dumouriez . Dumouriez gave his army the private name of the 'Army of Belgium' (Armée de la Belgique) , however this was never officially recognised or adopted. Note: all cavalry regiments have 3 x squadrons unless otherwise noted. All line infantry regiments have 2 x battalions unless other wise noted.
