17 May 1794 - Historical - Intended to be played Head to Head - See the document "SSR_Tourcoing.pdf" in the SSR folder for special scenario rules to be used during play for a more historical experience. This is the first day's action at Tourcoing. The Allied units advance forward from the south to capture the key terrain features. The French were taken by surprise and it would not be until the next day that they would be able to make a proper response. Added in for historical value as the Allies have a large advantage. This covers the advance of the first three Allied columns advancing from the south. Clerfayt's column had not yet reached Wervicq on the Lys River. Kinsky was still waiting on Karl to march northwest from St. Amand.
