Battle of Waterloo, the brits are on the left behind a ridge and a chain of villages (from front to back: Hugoumont, La Haye Sainte and Papelotte); the french are on the right around La Belle Alliance
Hugoumont
La Haye Sainte
Papelotte
The battle begins with the english guns opening fire
And the light dragoons moving forward
The imperials advance
The great battery aims towards La Haye
The dragoons attacks a infantry division
The terrific fire of the massed guns causes terrible casualties
The french form square
Repelling the cavalry
Then th cuirassiers move to support
The scots greys manoeuver near Papelotte
The dragoons reform into line to balance the fight
Charge!
The garde cavalry
D'Erlon's corps form two parallel lines
The scots charge for the guns taking them
The guard cavalry comes to avenge the gunners
It's now 16:00 and Von Bülow's prussians start to arrive in the french rear
The scots retreat as the whole army advances
The guards garrison la Haye as the battered division there moves to the rear
The cavalry clash continues near Hugoumont
The french right launches a massive attack
The imperial guard moves to intercept the prussians
The redcoats crumble under the massive attack
And the guard cavalry is repulsed
The rest of the prussians have arrived
The scots now attack the infantry
Running from the prussians the frenchmen pass through Papelotte
Kellermann is wounded in the inconclusive fight
Grapeshot sees to a troublesome ennemy division
Another is chopped by the scots
With 4-2 the french player just gives up, still the most balanced Waterloo yet
