National modifiers:

Preperations are begun in Ghent for the Northern Army's advance toward Amsterdam. Pontoon bridges and pre-prepared rafts and barges begin construction for the eventuality of crossing the now flooded lowlands further East.

The Grande Armée currently mustering and training in the area of Paris is to be commanded by Marquis de Villar. Once he feels the men ready to deploy, they will begin their march south to engage Imperial forces in the area of Provence.
