Blech...
OK, the Bavarians do not drop a factor off, and go after Naoleon by
themselves, with 9i and 2c.
The Cav corps from Vienna drops off a factor in Ulm on the depot and
besieges Stuttgart, paying depot supply from Freiburg as before.

So you need 55 factors in the 2 corps with Napoleon for it to be a trivial,
which is certainly possible if it's the I corps and so forth...

I believe this has to be a forced march since crossing a river in the face 
of an opposing corps costs an extra movement point.  Unless there's a 
shorter route that I'm missing, that would mean a forage value of zero and 
the corps would lose a full die of factors before the battle even begins.

They'll both stand and fight.
