8 October 1813 – Rosenheim Campaign – Day 6

2^nd Austrian corps retreats to Traunreut after their defeat at Wassenburg

10^th Bavarian corps hold the river, reorganise and resupply

Oudinot has secured not only Rosenheim, but the whole right bank of the river Isar.

His depots are too far back, and cannot resupply his depleted corps

He needs a couple of days to reorganise his supply system and depots

The Austrian defeat at Wassenburg has put Schwartzenberg in a difficult position.

His orders are to hold the right bank of the river Isar, and in particular Rosenheim

To do so he must attack and drive the Bavarians back over the river

However three of his four corps have heavy battle casualties

1^st and 3^rd corps each have 20% casualties in their cavalry brigades

Without cavalry support any attack on Rosenheim must fail

So both armies rest, reorganise and resupply
