La Bataille de Ligny

A detailed simulation of the 1815 clash between French and Prussian forces during the Hundred Days campaign. Players command corps and brigades on four large period maps, moving regimental- and brigade-sized counters across a 100 m/hex scale and resolving actions in 20-minute game turns. Play emphasizes operational maneuver, coordinated attack and defense, and command control at the corps and divisional level. The game supports solitaire study or team play and can be linked with the companion battle to recreate the wider June 16th actions.
