21 October 1806 - (What-if) Napoleon has embarked upon a bold plan of campaign. He marches through Strausland in hopes of bringing the Allies to battle on favorable terms. His staunch cavalry commander, Murat, is sent ahead to reconnoiter the situation but instead partakes of a wild ride around the Allied armies assembled to the east. Thus Napoleon is out of touch with the situation for a full 48 hours. Meanwhile, the Prussians were trying to keep pace with Napoleon's march around their right flank. With the Russians marching over from Hauptstadt, Brunswick knew that he must hold off Napoleon until reinforcements could arrive. His wing had to buy time for the rest of the Allies to assemble and bring their superior numbers to bear. And thus as Ney's corps marched down the Augustburg road to destiny the stage was set for one of the most famous battles of lore - Karlsburg! Best played head to head.
