I am going to start a timeline. I will write a post about an event that took a different direction. Then the next poster continue it describing what happens next. Then the next writer continues the timeline. Try to keep it as realistic as possible. Lets see how far we can go.
June 16 1815. Ney is facing Wellington at Quatre Bras and Napoleon is facing Blücher at Ligny. Napoleon has sent orders that he wants the 1st corp led by d´erlon. (OTL, the emperors messanger reached D´Erlon and had him march to help Napoleon only to have him so confused that he wasnt helping any frenchman that day). Napoleons messangers failed to locate D´erlon and reached Qatre Bras just before Ney was to throw in the cavallery for a charg(that OTL temporarly broke the english line). Ney is gratefull and throws the entire corps into the battle. It takes 30 minutes for the corps to get into postion and attack. The attack makes the english line collapse and Wellington orders a general withdrawl. The english army falls back towards Bruessel and have taken badly casualities.
Napoleons battle go as OTL
Ney sends half of 1st corps to aid Napoleon at Ligny, but it only reaches halfway before darkness occure.
