Next Event - 18:45 GMT on Wednesday the 5th July!Where - 33rd_Austerlitz_EventThe 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 further 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 two. The battle therefore represents not only a triumph against a force which was numerically superior but also a decisve defeat for the Coalition army, losing some 36,000 men.Event Stages:Stage 1 - Defending Telnitz - Siege (10mins)SpoilerClasses - Line & LightsAdmin Controlled to Start, followed by Normal Siege.

For a future scenario, I suggest you the Battle of Eylau, wich took place in February 1807, during the Campaign of Prussia and Poland.You could have plenty of stage such as the complete destruction of the 14e Régiment, the great cavalry charge of Murat (10 000 horsemen), the attack of the "Garde Impérial" (first time ever Napoleon send them to fight) and reinforcement of Marshal's Ney...And I'm sure if you dig deep enought you'll find more about this slaughter
Lights availables here ?
Next Event - 18:45 GMT on Wednesday the 2nd August!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. The campaign was one of lightning speed, with some small isolated actions before and a final decisive twin set of battles at both Jena and Auerstadt. The experienced Grande armee once again displayed it's versatility and speed in this short campaign with the destruction of most the Prussian forces and capture of Berlin taking only 19 days.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 - Rearguard at Schliez - Siege (10mins)SpoilerClasses - Line, Lights, CavSiege with LineBattle Rules - attackers/defenders move out from spawn in formations of 5+On October 9th French troops clash with a Prussian/Saxon division near the village of Schliez, in time however it becomes clear that Bernadottes 1st corps vastly outnumbers the Allied divison so they begin to withdraw. As an aggressive prusuit ensues headed by Murat's cavalry, one Prussian batallion finds itself pinned between French cavalry behind and Infantry in front - they must fight for their very survival as they are attacked on all fronts.
