| Waterloo in the initial stages. We are looking from the north-west with Hougomont the brick complex on the right and Plancenoit between the hands of DaveB in the purple sweater. The road from far end to curve near the bottom (east-west) represents the crestline of the ridge. (for those who follow this historical battle!) The table is 9 by 6 feet so we have plenty of maneuver room. The scenario is designed for even a smaller space. |

 |
| Our rules allow artillery fire through friendlies. No, the Hanoverians are not taking canister fire onto their backs! |
 |
| The French advance in forlorn confidence |
 |
| Milhaud's Cavalry Corps. The whole thing! |
 |
| French advance around La Haye Sainte |
 |
