Title says it, but a short description for those of you who dont know about the battle of Valmy in 1792.
Valmy was the start of a new age of warfare as in from this point on wars are mostly fought over differing points of idealogly. The peasant/citizen armies of Frances new revoluntiary government fought a action against the Prussian who invaded on the cause of helping the french monarchy and realizing Frances weakness.
I call it a action because it was hardly a battle, mostly cannon bombarding and a small Prussian attack on the French right flank.
But what if General Kellerman was more agrresive this day? What if instead of falling back in a orderly array he ordered a stand or even a attack on the Prussians led by Brunswick?
