The garrison is demoralized by starvation and waits for their importance 
and heroism in holding the walls to be recognized before they fight 
again.  Besides, using them takes my morale down by a tenth and I'm going 
to need it all to beat the Brits.

The Russian forces present are the Imperial Guard, the 4th and the 9th 
corps.  Total strength is 8m, 10I, 5G and 2C for 25 factors and 3.2 morale.

There is a modifier of -1 to all casualty levels and +1 to all morale 
levels for this battle do to the swampy terrain.

For round one there will be no guard commitment and Bagraton will lower his 
tactical rating to 3.  There is no cav superiority so the Russian roll will 
be straight up on 1-2 and the Coalition roll will be at -1 on table 1-3
