As the emperor it is your task to destroy the British and destroy them utterly before the Prussians arrive. You summon your three senior officers to your tent and ask them for their advice.
First you ask General Ney's advice and he suggests deploying a large number of French infantry straight into the British and engage them, tying them down long enough for the French calvary to attempt a flanking maneuver from behind.
D'Erlon, meanwhile suggests pounding the British with canons. He then suggests sending in the calvary and infantry at a marching pace. First the calvary will move whithout the infantry in order to trick the British into forming squares. When the Brits have formed into square formations, the French infantry will charge at a running pace. As soon as the infantry has caught up to the calvary, the cavalry will join the infantry and charge while the calvary is engaged. As soon as the infantry has reached the British squares the cavalry will disengage and as the French infantry is already in attack formation the British will have no time to form their line formation.
Finally, you ask Reille's advice and he suggests taking out the two redoubts that are protecting the main british army. As soon as you've done that, you can send your entire army forward. What are your orders:
1.Ney's plan
2.D'Erlon
3.Rellie
4.A creative plan of your own(please post your own aswell as the reasons you did not pick the three suggestions the generals gave you)
