Late November 1806 A.D., Suburbs of Reims.Arthurs Wellesly, the duke of Wellington, approaches the remnants of the French army after capturing Paris. Still outnumbered, but not by much, Wellesly presses onward to capture the city of Reims followed by Michael Stowell, a general fielding 10 000 of His Majesty's finest, before it can be reinforced by Napoleon further to the east. Before reaching the city of Reims the French try and stop him in the suburbs and thereby forcing the Duke of Wellington to defend against their forces without the reinforcements from Stowell.
Fielding 10 000 British men against 2000 frenchmen and yet another 10 000 behind them the armies are evenly matched.
Wellesly deploys his troops behind a partial fence and partial stonewall, with multiple units in reserve.
The artillery is placed safely behind the lines giving an open view over the approaching enemy.
The initial 2000 enemies march across the field and without coordinating with their support and is destroyed by the stalwart British line. However, there is no rest for the British because more frogs deploy on the battlefield.
The two armies clash in a fearsome roar as gunpowder weapons pierce the air.
The battle rages on and dead bodies on both sides litter the field, and all reserves are thrown in to resist the never-ending waves...
... until eventually the French army loses heart and flees chaotically. It is crushing victory for Wellesly, but a costly one. A third of Wellesly's troops are lost.
Early December, 1806 A.D. The Duke of Wellington captures Reims unopposed. Napoleon retreats his army back east, realizing that Reims is now lost to him.
