Amarante (hypothetical "What if" scenario - historically, after driving off the Portuguese under Silveira and capturing Chaves, Soult decided to march on Oporto via Braga, but what if he had followed the most obvious route according to the maps of the period and followed the Tamega river via Amarante and Penafiel? This hypothetical scenario assumes that Silveira decided to make another stand against the invaders at Amarante. (Historically, he would fight a crucial defensive action at Amarante the following month against part of the French army under Loison, after the enemy had captured Oporto)
