Napoleon's Last Gamble: Battles of the Hundred Days

This historical wargame covers five battles from the Waterloo Campaign: Quatre-Bras, Ligny, Wavre, Waterloo, and La Souffel. It portrays Napoleon’s attempt to divide and defeat the Allied armies, followed by the French retreat after Waterloo and the final stand along the Souffel River. Players command French, British, Prussian, and Austrian forces using maps, counters, cards, and a common system for the Library of Napoleonic Battles series. Each battle uses hexes representing 480 meters and turns representing one hour. Individual scenarios last about 22 turns, while a full campaign links the battles together.
