This is the main topic for Europe 1805 - War of the Third Coalition, one of many mods on the Age of Blackpowder subforum.
The year is 1805. Realising that Britain will keep on supporting coalitions against France, Napoleon decides to tackle the problem at the root. Now Emperor he has brought together his Grande Armée in Boulogne, ready to set sail for England any time. But by crowning himself emperor Napoleon has provoked Russia and Austria, who are preparing to march on Paris from the east. It is in the summer of 1805 that you start. You just graduated from military academy and are ready to play a role in the upcoming conflict.

* Join a country, go to the warrant officer/Major/... in towns and ask for reinforcements.
* You can also get reinforcements from allied countries.
