Summary

The French were attempting to secure their communications with their southern wing in Slovenia. The Austrians set up this strongly fortified position but were too few in numbers to protect their flanks. [Both sets of casualty figures are suspect, given the French officer casualties one would expect their overall figure to be much higher]
