Sharpe scenarios for SDS

[Noisysteve]

ok sam, I have a solution. In 1810, Napoleon marries an Austrian Princess, to help cement Frances relationship with Austria and to keep them out of the war. The Austrian General, Archduke Charles, wasn't happy, as he had waged war against the French 4 times, even besting them at Dresden. The remaining allies, Britain, Spain and Portugal, wanted Austria back in the fight, as this would open up a second front, and divert French forces from Spain. Ok , that's the history, now the what if?

So Charles sends a trusted Officer, plus his regiment to Portugal, to obtain intelligence on whether the English will stay in the fight, and to receive training for his men. This Officer just happened to have gone to school with Sir Arthur Wellesley. The British agree to this , so as to convince Charles to fight on, and to test the mettle of the Austrians, despite Sir Arthur seeing this as a major pain in the arse. So he offloads them to another pain, enter Richard Sharpe.
