Three armies. Two battles. One single day that could decide the fate of Europe. After invading Belgium, Napoleon splits his forces in a bid to destroy Wellington's and Blücher's armies before they can unite against him. At Quatre Bras, Marshal Ney and the Duke of Wellington fight for a crossroads that could seal the allies' fate. 8 miles away at Ligny, Napoleon hurls the Imperial Guard against Prince Blücher's Prussians in a brutal, close-quarters slugging match — muskets swung like clubs, villages ablaze, and a 72-year-old field marshal nearly crushed beneath his own horse.
