Jourdan and Moreau advanced rapidly into Germany, and Moreau had reached Bavaria and the edge of Tyrol by September, but Jourdan was defeated by Archduke Charles, and both armies were forced to retreat back across the Rhine.
Jourdan ja Moreau edenesid kiiresti Saksamaale ning Moreau jõudis septembriks Baierisse ja Tirooli piirile, kuid Jourdan'i võideti ertshertsog Karli poolt ja mõlemad armeed sunniti taanduma tagasi üle Reini.
