Description

Time:1430 hrs., February 9,1814
Place: The road north of Sezanne
 Napoleon has decided on a bold move northward against the advancing Prussian Army, and the movement commands have already filtered down to the front line forces. Fifty-man patrols of cavalry vedettes from Doumerc's I Cavalry Corps are screening the countryside for any signs of the enemy, especially the dreaded Cossacks with their long lances. But on this occasion, the Cossacks are off their guard and oblivious to the storm approaching. Napoleon at Bay gives you the vedettes, to conceal friendly forces and find enemy concentrations.
