By the close of 1805 the Third Coalition, which had been orchestrated by William Pitt, was in tatters following their catastrophic defeat at Austerlitz.
However, in late 1805 a tiny Anglo-Russian army, sent by Pitt and paid for by the British government, disembarks in the Bay of Naples to support Ferdinand IV, King of the Two Sicilies. This army, commanded by General Lacy with the support of General Craig, approximately 15,000 men strong, is now the only Coalition force on mainland Europe. Will they be able to defend Naples, or will they evacuate leaving the wretched Neapolitan army to its fate? Will Marshal Massena secure the Two Sicilies for his Emperor, or will the Coalition be able to save Ferdinand’s last stronghold, the island of Sicily itself?
The second game in the ‘Limits of Glory’ series explores the British campaign in Naples in 1806.
