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.

Please note that this Event will be replacing our Wednesday Conquest Event for this date only, our usual Conquest will continue to take place after this date.

Event Stages:


Stage 1 - Battle of the Pyramids - Objective Siege (10mins)

Spoiler

Classes - Line for France, Cavalry for Mamelukes
French troops have 2 lives and must attempt to hold the square for the duration of the timer, Mameluke cavalry have unlimited lives.
July 1798. Napoleons expedition into Egyptian territory is halted near the capital of Cairo, by a considerable Mameluke force. Observing that the enemy forces largely consist of cavalry, Napoleon employs one of his major military reforms for the first time - the divisional square; such huge formations could protect his all important horse and baggage train, whilst his canon stationed at the corners could be used to devastating effect. But do his infantry have the nerve to stand fast against the unrelenting attack of the many thousands of horseman?
