Napoléon: The Waterloo Campaign, 1815

A regimental-level simulation of the 1815 campaign and the climactic battle near Brussels. Players command French, British/Dutch, and Prussian forces on a color map of southern Belgium, maneuvering blocks that represent units with step-reduction and fog-of-war concealment. Turns alternate as players move, attack, and commit leaders; combat resolution and reinforcement timing reflect the historical sequence of Ligny, the pursuit, and the stand at Waterloo. Supports two- or three-player play, with allied command split into British and Prussian roles when three play, and edition-dependent components and rules that change unit density, leader effects, and overall game length.
