The air in 1870 is thick with gunpowder and ambition. On one horizon, the disciplined ranks of Prussia advance, Bismarck's vision of a unified Germany a cold, calculating fire in their eyes. On the other, the proud but strained lines of France stand under Napoleon III, the weight of imperial history upon their shoulders. The drums beat a relentless rhythm, and the field of battle stretches before you, a blank page awaiting history's next author. Which flag will you rally to? The future of nations awaits your command.
