The French nearly achieved a decisive victory which could have changed completely the dynamic of the Belgium campaign. This game will link up with a coming release Quatre-Bras 1815 to provide an ultimate experience at this scale of the 16th of June 1815 battles that could have decided the campaign before Waterloo. Historical battle and smaller scenarios will be available with the same set of rules. But this games adds variable reinforcements rules as a variant. Both sides will be unsure about what they could get. Using the fog of war rules, players will be as close as possible to the real life situation.
