GAME NOTES
Four Days to Change the World
On 18 June 1815, south of the small Belgian hamlet
Waterloo in what was then the Kingdom of the
Netherlands, occurred one of the most decisive battles
of history. Napoleon Bonaparte hoped to destroy the
coalition armies arrayed against him by means of a
quick, decisive campaign. His plan was to defeat in
detail each of his main antagonists, the Anglo-Allied
army under Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, and the
Prussian army under Generalfeldmarschall Gebhard
Leberecht Fuerst Bluecher von Wahlstatt. While this
campaign encompassed several months of the spring and
summer of 1815, and ranged all along the wide flung
frontiers of France, the four days of the Waterloo
campaign, from the crossing of the Netherlands border by
Napoleon's Arm e du Nord on 15 June, the indecisive
actions at Quatres Bras, Ligny and Wavre, and the
disastrous French defeat at the hands of the combined
Anglo-Allied and Prussian armies on 18 June, decided the
fate of the emperor, and by implication, the Empire. But
now you have the opportunity to take command in this
great campaign and change the course of history.
Waterloo contains some sixty scenarios. These include
the major actions of the campaign, such as the battles
of Quatres Bras and Waterloo itself, as well as several
hypothetical actions based on alternative approach
marches. Several of these scenarios place the entire
French Army against both the Anglo-Allies and the
Prussians for one grand battle of annihilation.
Units represent historical regiments, battalions,
skirmisher companies and artillery batteries, as well as
all major leaders and unit commanders. Players can view
units in several different modes, including 3-D
miniatures style figures or NATO style military
symbols. Each map hex is 100 meters across, and each
turn averages 15 minutes of real time. Players can
select formations for units and employ a wide array of
tactics. There are also special rules for light
infantry, heavy cavalry and pioneers.
Waterloo is part of the HPS's Napoleonic Battles series
of games that cover the battles and campaigns associated
with the French Empire. Each game can be played versus
the computer, or against a human opponent using
Play-By-E-Mail and Network Play (over a Local Area
