Description of Waterloo - Napoleon's Last Battles board game
In 1814, the withered French army, led by Napoleon were finally defeated by the combined forces of GB, Prussia, Russia and Austria. The army was disbanded and the emperor exiled to Elba. He soon escaped and on March 1st, 1815 he landed in Marseilles and marched on Paris. The people halted him as a hero and he was soon reinstated as their leader. But his new Empire only lasted 100 days.... Bonaparte quickly called up all army veterans and rebuilt his imperial army. They raced North in the general direction of Brussels. After battles at Ligny and Quatre Bras, the armies finally met at the small town of Mont St. Jean near Waterloo on June 18th, 1815. This tactical boardgame simulates that battle. No dice are included as all movement, combat and special events are covered by cards. Two scenarios are included so you can decide whether to play a shorter or longer game (the whole battle). This is a fast exciting board game with rules that are easy to pick up - so you can start playing in no time.
