Tolouse & Focsani

 The Age of Napoleon campaign goes on, the austrians invade France with a strong army facing the outnumbered defenders under Murat
 With their guns in the center the austrians move in two pincers

 While the ulhans charge the guns, two blocks of kaiserlichs attack a single french division
 The artillery is lanced
 But Radetzky is wounded during the charge
 In the left the dragoons are routed too
 The austrians sweep all opposition away
 A lone french grenadier division not surrenders neither dies

 But is finally shot to pieces
 In the east, the russians of general Benigssen attack the ottomans in Bulgaria
 The turks defend a fortified village
 The russian horde advances in the middle of winter, a classic!
 First into the fray are the elite cuirassiers
 The ploughed up ground would hamper seriously the offensive
 The cuirassiers charge a janissary orta
 Hussars charge elite janissaries
 The lone turks are swiftly trampled
 Another division of hussars charges the sipahis
 While the cuirassiers go for the guns
 The ottoman left holds its ground
 But their right is ravaged
 The ottoman general is even run over
 Indomitable, the elite janissaries send the hussars packing
 And then an infantry division
 More ruskis rout before the village
 But finally a close volley from the Pavlov Grenadiers dislodges the garrison
 And the heroic janissary orta is blown away by artillery fire
 Finally the last turks are routed by a volley, ending thus the game!
A close run thing, the russians almost lost this
Updated campaign map: an allied victory in all fronts!
