A tactical simulation of the 16 June 1815 campaign that recreates the Battle of Ligny and linked engagements. Players command French and Prussian forces, maneuvering infantry and cavalry formations across a period map and resolving combat, morale, and command effects through card-driven and chit-reveal mechanics. Scenarios cover the historical battle and smaller actions, with an optional reinforcements variant that introduces uncertainty about arrival and composition. Fog-of-war rules hide planned reinforcements and limit battlefield information, forcing players to react to imperfect intelligence rather than omniscient planning.
