[War In 15MM]

I have been there.  I have never seen any place like it.

Thank you for an excellent read! We forget too often that the hundred days have much more to offer than “just” Waterloo.

Ooh, nice photos!

Quatre Bras is the battle I've played the most, that makes a great game.  And you can start with that long before you've painted all the minis for Waterloo!

Not to forget Ligny with its different areas of battle and all the skirmishes leading up to the major battles.

[Baron von Wreckedoften]

And let's not forget the other theatres outside Belgium:-

* Internal uprisings against Napoleon in Provence, Brittany and La Vendee
* Murat v Bellegarde in Naples
* Rapp v Wurttemburg (very last battle of the Napoleonic Wars at La Soufel - a French win!)
* Wrede's Bavarian/Russian corps attacks Nancy
* Lecourbe (mainly National Guards) v Colloredo in the Jura
* Suchet v Frimont (Austro-Sardinian) in Savoy
* Brune v Bianchi (Austrian) and Hudson-Lowe (Anglo-Sicilian) around Marseilles and Toulon

And if all that doesn't work, you've got 150,000+ Russians under de Tolly (who arrived just too late for the real thing).
