Spanish armies collapse under the weight of a new spring offensive and only one bastion of hope remains, the last place Craven would ever want to be. A vast French army now marches to invade Portugal. Wellington rides north to face them, but if resistance in Spain is defeated, there can be little hope of victory, and the British will be driven into the sea.

He must hold the line, or all may be lost.
