(1798) - Egyptian Campaign
Having seen the benefits of Britain's profitable colonies, France's Directory listened to Bonaparte's idea to invade Egypt; expelling the ruling Mamelukes and establishing a modern style of government sympathetic to France would strengthen their trade and weaken Britains position. Early success however against the Mameluke dynsaty was overshadowed by the defeat of the French fleet at the hands of Nelson. After a relatively short period of occupation the French forces were eventually forced to leave for good with British forces landing and laying siege to Alexandria.flag-spawning Stage 1 | Landing at Aboukir bay Classes - Line, ArtilleryFlag-Spawning Siege round - Teams win by reducing enemy tickets to 0 like usual but on a fortified map; each team should try and secure key defenses from which to have an advantage over their opposition.

To start France & UK remain at spawn. UK regiments selected for picket (sentry) duty move out to the picket line (marked by line of rough rocks across the map). After 2 mins (admin notified) France may move out and begin their attack. UK can only move out when the French team is discovered - France should coordinate an attack together or try to move round the picket to surprise the main team. Regiments on picket can spread out and fire one shot on sighting the enemy, then return to their unit. Once the French attack has been discovered proceed with normal round and rules.Having successfully landed, the British press on towards Alexandria. The French however seize the initiative and commence their own attack in one final pitched battle, the offensive hitting home in the early hours of 21st March. A confused fight ensues in the darkness as the French offensive primarily engages the British center in force, attempting to drive a wedge here and sever the British line in two. The British pickets are pushed unexpectedly at 3am as the French offensive begins... Britain | France | 10 | 33rd (Hussars)

On their march to Cairo, the French army encountered an Ottoman army consisting of Mamluk cavalry and drafted Fellahins under Murad Bey. Napoleon lined his forces up into infantry squares, a tactic which helped repel the Mamluk cavalry, largely due to their inability to penetrate them without suffering severe casualties. A naval battle also occurred, with an Ottoman flotilla being repelled by a French flotilla.Mamluk Dynasty | France | 10 | 33rd (Cavalry)

These were the words of King George III when addressing the parliament when finding out about the battle. The battle was brutal and almost completely destroyed the French navy (only a few ships managed to escape, one of which was commanded by Villeneuve). In the end, the battle proved to be a decisive factor in the French campaign as with no route to France meant no supplies or fresh troops.Britain | France | 10 | BC (Marines/Crew)

(1800) - Battle of Marengo UNDER CONSTRUCTION!  (1805) - Battle of Austerlitz
The Battle of Austerlitz can be considered one of the most decisive engagements of the Napoleonic era; The Grande Armee isolated at the full extent of its lines of communication with an array of forces opposing with superior numbers. At Austerlitz Napoleon tempted the combined Austrian and Russian army into attacking before they could be reinforced and despite their inferiority in numbers Napoleon claimed a Decisive Victory. In essence this was gained by the allied army over extending itself to engage the flanks of the French force, which then in turn struck hard in the allied centre and severed the combined Russian and Austrian army in to. The battle therefore represents not only a success against a force that was numerically superior but also a triumph in which some 36,000 allied soldier were captured, wounded or killed.Event Stages:flag-spawning Stage 1 | Defending Telnitz Classes - Line, ArtilleryFlag-Spawning Siege round - Teams win by reducing enemy tickets to 0 like usual but on a fortified map; each team should try and secure key defenses from which to have an advantage over their opposition.

(1806) - Prussian Campaign
Where - 33rd_Prussian_Campaign_1806! Napoleon's campaign against the Prussians in 1806 represented the first half of the war of the fourth coalition, formed against France shortly after the third coalitions' defeat at Austerlitz in 1805. Prussia eagerly declares war before either of its coalition partners has time to come to their aid, so in October Napoleon launches the Grande Armee across the Saxon border towards Berlin. Due to the haste of the invasion, intelligence on the Prussian army whereabouts is scarce; The French advance with all their corps within a days march of each other, to seek out the enemy and defeat in detail. The Prussian army is of a significant size but is plagued by outdated organisation and aging commanders, how will the legacy of Fredrick the Great stand up to the modernised Grande Armee...

(1807) - Battle of Eylau
In late 1806 The Grande armee settled in for winter quarters in occupied Poland, after dealing a severe blow to the Prussian forces at Jena/Auerstadt. The new Campaign in 1807 however began early in January, with the Russians under Bennigsen attempting to turn the French left wing; after some manoeuvring however the multitude of French corps force the combined Prussian and Russian forces to withdraw to the North East. In early February with all his forces finally concentrated, Benngisen decides to make a stand at the town of Eylau. Napoleon confidently pursues on all fronts, with his army corps spread out - potentially too far to support each other. This later develops into the ultimate decider for one of the most bloodiest of battles of the Napoleonic Wars.

The French army is in a vulnerable position, with two of its corps yet to make an appearance on the field and the allies having the numerical advantage. Napoleon regardless seizes the initiative and orders Augerau’s corps out of Eylau to attack the Russian centre, hoping to occupy the enemy long enough for Davout’s corps to arrive on the field. A storm which would be present most of the day shrouds the Russians as the French march blindly towards their positions...Allies | France | 10 | 24th (Hussars)

(1807) - Battle of Friedland (1807) - Battle of Friedland
06/11/2019
Teams Updated!Having fought eachother to a stalemate at Eylau, both the Allied and French armies spend the next few months attempting to out manouver one another, the campaign dragging on into early summer. On 13th June however Bennigsen's main russian force on its way north to regroup with their Prussian counterparts, encounters a single isolated French corps under Marshal Lannes. This could be the oppurtunity the Russians have been waiting for; a chance to knock-out 16,000 men from Napoleons Grand Armee, to even the odds when Bennigsen is forced to once again face the French Emperor in the field. Engaging the corps could prove extremely risky, the Russians having to cross a river which should they be engaged more heavily may prove their downfall... Event Stages:Stage 1 | Marshal Lannes' Delaying action | Admin Classes - Line, LightsAdmin controlled battle; both teams lines form up together in spawn facing the river. Lights of both team skirmish forward to the middle of the map. When the Russians advance the French lights will fire and retreat, eventually all lights reforming on their respective lines.Having committed to engaging the French corps on the other side of the river Lava, the Russians construct pontoon bridges and make their crossing late in the day of the 13th June. Marshal Lannes outnumbered almost 3 to 1 fights a delaying action from the towns of Friedland to Posthenen, using his light infantry to screen his movements and harass the advancing Russians...Russia | France | 10 | BC (Light)

In the matter of just a few hours the Russian army find itself outnumbered on all fronts, with the river Lava to their backs. Acknowleging the immediate danger, Bennigsen orders a gradual retreat back through Friedland and across the pontoon bridges, slowly pulling back his line of defence. Napoleon wastes no time in ordering an all-out offensive on every inch of the Russian position. With lightning speed the resolve of the Russian troops begins to waver as the well-ordered retreat begins to turn into a rout. With Friedland set ablaze by canon fire, the Russian imperial guard maintain a rear-guard, delaying the French onslaught and attempting to ensure their armies survival...Russia | France | 10 | 33rd (Cavalry)

(1808) - Battle of Bailen UNDER CONSTRUCTION (1808) - Retreat to Coruna
Sir John Moore assumed command of the British Army in October 1808 and led it across Portugal and Spain, to link up with his Spanish allies to commence a campaign against his better wishes. At much the same time Napoleon arrived in the Peninsula at the head of 125,000 battle hardened veterans. Having restored his brother back on the Spanish throne, Napoleon turns his attention to remove Moore’s army. With his lines of communication compromised, Moore is forced to retreat in the dead of winter over the inhospitable Galician mountains, his army fighting tenacious rear-guard actions to facilitate their escape to Coruna where they finally turn to face the French. Event Stages:Flag-spawning Stage 1 | Cavalry Skirmish at Benavente Classes - CavalryNormal Battle, Admin Controlled to start.Early on in the Campaign it becomes apparent that retreat for the British Army is inevitable, with the huge amount of forces arrayed against them. Before resigning himself to the retreat however, Moore attempts a premptive strike against Soult's isolated corps to the north - reconaissance troops of these forces clashing at Sahagún.

(1809) - Battle of Coruna Sir John Moore is on the last leg of his retreat through Northern Spain to La Coruna in apalling Winter conditions; discpline in his ravaged army hangs by a thread as they press on to the coastal port and hopefully rescue by the Royal Navy. Marshal Soult is hard on his heels, chasing down stragglers as they break free of the mountains. Moore turns to face him at Coruna to buy time to extricate his army to fight another day... Stage 1 | Pursuit at Bentazos Classes - Line, CavalryFlag-Spawning round - UK reach the goal at the end of the road or reduce enemy tickets to 0. France prevent UK from reaching the goal in 10mins or reduce enemy tickets to 0.Shortly after the delaying action at the bridge crossing of Cacabellos the British are able to escape the mountainous terrain, only a stones throw from the safety and supplies of Coruna. Unfortunately due to the prolonged arduous retreat, stragglers from the main force have grown to the thousands; they must band together as they make their way north to avoid sabres of the pursuning French cavalry...

(1809) - Battle of Wagram UNDER CONSTRUCTION (1811) - Battle of Albuera While Wellington is engaged with Marshal Massena at Fuentes de Oñoro, Marshal Beresford lays siege to the fortified border city of Badajoz in the south, with support from Spanish General Blake. In early May 1811, Marshal Soult marches north from Seville with his Army of Andalusia, to relieve the French garrison at Badajoz. Beresford and Blake agree to confront Soult at Albuera, a defensive ridge position. Soult presses his march with all speed, intending to catch Beresford before he can concentrate his troops to oppose him. On 15th May 1811, Beresford issues his orders for the army to concentrate on the Albuera position, Spanish troops arriving on the morning of the 16th, just as Marshal Soult prepares his attack...

Peninsular Campaign (1809-11)
06/02/2019It’s the summer of 1809 on the Portuguese border and the Anglo-Portuguese army under Sir Arthur Wellesley has just repelled a French invasion into Portugal by Marshal Soult. Hoping to take the initiative and potentially gain a swift victory, Wellesley advances into Spain at the head of 20,000 men. He hopes to link up with some 30,000 Spanish troops under General Cuesta, a combined force that may prove able to force its way through French Marshal Victor’s 46,000 and capture the Spanish capital of Madrid... flag-spawning Stage 1 | Talavera, night attack Classes - Line, CavalryNormal Flag-Spawning Round - reduce enemy tickets to 0.On the 27th July British, French and Spanish troops converge near the city of Talavera with only a small stream separating the allied and French positions. French divisional commander Ruffin seizes the initiative and attempts a daring night attack, to take a strategic hill on the left flank of the allied position. Ruffin’s gamble pays off, forcing some Kings German Legion troops off the heights. British divisional commander Hill quickly recognises the danger, swiftly moving to counter attack and re-take the heights…Allies | France | 10 | 33rd (Hussars)

With or without the capture of these fortresses, there are still sizeable French army corps mustering in Spain which will need to be engaged with care. Will this years campaign see an end to French interests in Portugal or even Spain itself? Event Stages:Flag-spawning Stage 1 | Cuidad Rodrigo Classes - Line, ArtilleryFlag-Spawning Siege round - Teams win by reducing enemy tickets to 0 like usual but on a fortified map, each team should try and secure key defenses from which to have an advantage over their opposition. FiC and RiC permitted. Each regiment can have 1 sapper and 1 artilleryman.The first key to Spain comes in the form of the fortified city of Cuidad Rodrigo. With fresh French corps regrouping in Spain a drawn out siege will not be practicable; The Fort must be taken by storm, whatever the cost. When night falls a small 'Forlorn hope' assembles in the trenches near the breach, in an attempt to surprise the defenders...Allies | France | 25 | 23rd (33rd)

(1812) - Invasion of Russia
Napoleon's invasion of Russia on 24th June 1812 saw a staggering 860,000 strong force strike towards Moscow, consisting of French troops and their numerous allies. Early Success is soon whittled away by a lack of supplies for the French force, the Russians depriving the land of resources as it retired deeper into Russia. The French must gain a decisive victory over the Russian army; this coupled with capturing Moscow may force the Tsar to sue for peace...

(1813) - Battle of Vitoria
Following Wellington's success at the Battle of Salamanca and Napoleon's disastrous campaign in Russia the previous year, the Allied army finds itself outnumbering the French in the peninsular. Looking to draw further success from this rare advantage, Wellingtion advances once again into Spain at the head of 121,000 British, Portuguese and Spanish troops. The allied aim is to cut off Marshal Jourdan's army in Spain from their lines of communication to France; Wellington moves his Army across Northern Spain, Jourdan having to mobilize quickly to face the new danger. He chooses to make his stand around Vitoria, hoping to halt the allied advance... Event Stages:Stage 1 | La Puebla heights | Battle (10mins) Classes - Line, Lights, CavalryNormal BattleSuccess at Vitoria for the British and their allies relies on four attack columns, all converging around Vitoria in sufficient time to support one another.

(1813) - Battle of Leipzig 
It's mid-1813 and the Emperor Napoleon has re-built in part his Grande Armee, after the disastrous results of the Russian campaign last year. With all of Europe arrayed against him, Napoleon intends to knock-out one of the main powers to even the odds and potentially gain a temporary peace to buy him time to consolidate his position. After three months of campaigning in German territory mixed with meagre victories and defeats, The French make a stand around the city of Leipzig. Napoleon has chosen his ground well with the areas surrounding Leipzig split into multiple sectors by many rivers with bridges connecting these areas close to the city, giving the French superiority to manoeuvre. The allies do however outnumber the French by a huge margin and almost completely encircle their force around Leipzig; will the allies work together effectively and defeat the once master of Europe or will history repeat itself with the 'Little Corporal' defeating the two Allied Emperor's again, as he did 8 years before?

The French Emperor's plan is to drive a wedge between the Prussian and Anglo-Dutch armies stationed in Belgium and defeat them in detail, a strategy that had proved successful for him many times before. The Allies learn almost too late of Napoleons advance into Belgium through Chaleroi, with Prussian forces engaging him first and then retreating towards Ligny. Wellington in command of the Anglo Dutch forces concentrates his own troops as fast as he can to the cross-roads of Quatres Bras, hoping to join Bluchers Prussians at Ligny...

(1815) - Battle of Waterloo
On the 16th June it becomes apparent to the Allied Armies under Marshal Blucher and Wellington that Napoleon has siezed the initative and entered Belgium. The French succeed in splitting the Allied forces, holding them in place at the Battles of Quatres Bras and Ligny. The Allies both withdraw, hoping to reunite and defeat the french wherever possible - on this understanding Wellington takes a stand at the field of Waterloo. He holds a strong defensive position on the reverse slope of the Mont St Jeane ridge, with the farmhouses of Hougoumont on his left, La Haye Sainte in his center and Papelotte on his right, to anchor his defensive line in place. With both Armies awaiting battle the night before the 18th June, the stakes could not be higher...

(1854-1855) - Crimean War
The Crimean War was the first grand scale European conflict since the Battle of Waterloo, some 39 years earlier. The Russian empire ever looking to expand its borders, declared war on Turkey and both the empires of Britain and France swiftly moved to support the Turks. By the time British and French troops reached Constantinople however the invasion had largely stalled and was doomed to failure. Undeterred both forces continued in to Russian occupied territory in the Crimea. The series of actions that followed demonstrated both the valour of the common soldier and the incompetence of their superiors in command, whose knowledge of warfare was still firmly rooted in the Napoleonic period; a taste of the grand scale slaughter which would occur a decade later in the American civil war took place on the Crimean peninsular in this futile conflict.Event Stages:Stage 1 - Crossing the Alma - Siege (12mins)Spoiler Lines and LightsAdmin Controlled to Start, then Normal Siege - Russia have 4 LivesHaving landed at Kalamita Bay, the Anglo-French army under Lord Raglan must march South to put Sevastopol under Siege.

The Russians, though outnumbered, have the tactical advantage and will make the Allied force pay a bloody price for landing in the Crimea...

Spoiler Allies - Highland Infantry. Russia - Light CavalryAdmin Controlled Round - Both Teams form up on Admins in two rank linesThe Turkish defenders on the road to the port are overwhelmed after hours of continued Russian assaults and no support from the surprised Allies. The Russian cavalry are now sweeping through towards the vital port. All that stands in their way is the Thin Red Line of the 93rd Highlanders. Can they see off the thousands of Cossacks and Hussars and save the campaign or will they be swept away and the defence of Balaclava crushed.

Spoiler Lines, Lights, CavalryNormal Battle, 1 or 2 roundsBalaclava remains in Allied hands but the Russians in Sevastopol hold bravely on. On the 5th November 1854 they have another opportunity to drive the English and French invaders out for good! Under the cover of fog the huge Russian army of 70,000 soldiers attacks an inferior British force across the Tchernaya river. In the dense fog, valleys and hills of Inkerman the formations on both sides break down. The fighting is a brutal melee with a fine line between friend and foe. Who will come out victorious in the "Soldier's Battle"?

Spoiler Lines, LightsNormal SiegeRussia's primary port on the Black Sea has been under siege for almost 12 months. Cut off from the rest of the Russian army, the 50,000 defenders have turned Sevastopol into an impregnable fortress. With the port blocked by the British navy, Russian naval crews have been drafted into the defence of the fortress. Repeated British, French and Turkish assaults have been held off but with no hope of relief how much longer will the defenders hold out? The British and French have been worn down by cold and disease in the foreign climate but are now emboldened by fresh troops from the homelands and Sardinia's recent involvement in the war. This will be the last great showdown in the Crimean war.
