This is from the extended campaign version of the battles around Ulm from the OSG Napoleon's Wheel.  The photo shows the situation at nightfall on October 12, 1805 as Murat and Ney finally notice that
Mack has a large force at Ulm.  The French had already by-passed Ulm and they were very confused to find a big army there that they had already pre-surrounded.  Hardegg and Fresnel are in position between Ney and Murat who are not getting along at all (a situation for which Fog of War card 30 provides some explicit rules).  Historically at this point Murat stopped bragging about how he could only formulate
plans while facing the enemy.  Well they have faced the enemy and Ney has grabbed Murat and said "There's the enemy.  got any ideas?"

  And mid-morning on the 12th the French get some good card pulls (two points off their score tho!):

(and after a lot of running around -- Mack wins on points, but is still surrounded and no doubt gives up eventually -- Rohan is spared a long hike to Venice and gets sent home on parole.
