October 1854: Admidst brutal cannonade and flashing sabers, the Plain of Balaclava thundered to two of the most incredible military maneuvers of all time—the charge of the Heavy and Light Brigades. As the Russian cavalry prepares to launch a full-scale attack to seize Balaclava, the British find themselves in desperate straits. Dangerously outnumbered, they are hoping for reinforcements, but in the meantime they must hold their ground, calling for heroism that will test the courage of even the bravest man. Dodging bursting shells and Russian Cossacks, Hazard proves that the bluejackets fight as well on land as they do at sea.
