Tarragona: Suchet arrives to break the siege "what if" - Historically, Murray abandoned the siege on 12 June as soon as he heard reports that French troops were assembling to raise the siege. This scenario assumes that Murray decided to remain and had occupied the lower town and Fort Olivo when Suchet's relief force unexpectedly arrived. NB: Since the Allies are outnumbered, the French reinforcements should arrive piecemeal. Also there's a chance that the British infantry will be withdrawn (ie. by ship) during the course of the battle, so the cavalry and Spaniards may need to make their own escape if the situation gets too bad.
