Description

The Battle of Waterloo is perhaps the best known battle in history. The time is 18 June 1815. The Duke of Wellington's armies are drawn to defend the road to Brussels. Napoleon's superior French forces begin their assault. Can the British thin red line hold until the Prussian army arrives to fall upon Napoleon's flanks?

A simple introductory wargame.
