The Battles of Waterloo

This historical wargame covers four major battles of the Waterloo campaign: Mont Saint Jean, Quatre Bras, Ligny, and Wavre. Scenarios use one or two maps, while the campaign game combines all three maps. Players command formations through an interactive turn sequence using Leader Initiative Markers to manage command, coordination, and control. Cohesion and commitment represent lower-level command ability, while combined arms, terrain, multi-tiered movement, grand batteries, squares, cavalry pursuit, chateau defenses, and Napoleon’s health affect combat and maneuver.
