Unfortunately, it does not have a map for Soult's starting position. It does describe how St Hilaire's division moved east along a brook towards Pratzen, which suggests that it started in, or infront of Kobelnitz. Vandamme's divsion is described as 'crossing the Bosenitz brook', and then attacking the Pratzen plateau north of Pratzen, which suggests that he started north of St. Hillaire. Both divisions seem to have moved directly east of their starting positions.

Thank Petrus58.

For Murat starting positions , i think is good.
It would take smaller icons , otherwise real congestion of french corp in the same place.

Scott Bowden in his book Napoleon and Austerlitz (p.384) has a detailed map of the northern portion of the battlefield.  It seems to show the starting positions of both sides. He has the guard just to the east of Bellowitz, and Oudinot's grenadiers just south of the guard. The 1st corp is in front of both, with its right flank in Lapanz.

re Songis. Although Bowden doesn't actually say if Songis was in direct command, the Grand Parc d'Artillerie was (according to Bowden) positioned on the Santon, just to the rear of Lannes' corp. It is listed as 18 pieces - all captured Austrian 3prds.

 Grand Parc d'Artillerie - its reserv artilery?

You think Murat corps must form in march column?

Yes - artillery reserve, though I see other sources also show it as having 12pdrs.

I do not know,but think is not very important.
If you move art where say Petrus58 , for me is good deployment.
I wait a little before finish,maybe other useful information.
For allied some doubts ?
