Austerlitz Historical Operational Moves

I thought it might be interesting to follow along Napoleons movements of his forces in the events leading up to the Battle of Austerlitz.

Murat moves along the river line, and forces the Coalition to slowly retreat. Tho this could have been an interesting place to try and hold. But I suspect the Austrians were looking to consolidate with the Russians.

By the 17th Napoleon moves from the Danube and is in Znaim across the Thaya river.

His men rapidly progress to Brun by the 20th.

Bernadotte and his Corps arrive by the 30th.

Now the positioning and jousting for location begins. The French establish artillery at Santon and by the 28th have forces also near Posoritz.

Below Davout marches at a striking pace and reaches Musoff by 1-2 nd of December.

Now all we need is a battle!
