After Napoleon had returned to the throne of France in a bloodless coup, the new Seventh Coalition assemble their armies to march on the borders. The Emperor wishes to divide and destroy the 250,000 coalition troops of the Armies of Flanders and the Lower Rhine in Belgium. The invasion of Belgium indeed brings the French in-between the two armies and less than 35 miles away from the regional capital of Brussels. The Dutch and Prussians scramble all night and morning to bring their allies on alert. On that day, June 16, 1815, two murdering battles will be fought. However, they won't yet decide the campaign, that will happen at the village of Waterloo just a day later.
