About the game
The sun rose on the morning of 18th June, 1815. Napoleon Bonaparte breakfasted with his generals at Rossomme on the Brussels's road. The conversation returned to the weather; It had poured rain throughout the night and Drouot, the commander of the Emperor's artillery was worried about the effect on his guns. Napoleon acquiesced to a delay in starting the attack. This was the first of many fateful decisions to be made on that day... Waterloo 200 is a new concept game covering the epic Waterloo Battle fought in Belgium in June 1815. Developed on wooden blocks, over a colorful 86x64 cm mapboard, 400g thick. The over 200 wooden/plastic components have been created by the best Italian artisinal industry and painted "A buratto", a technique usually adopted for painting car parts and accessories. Historical Background On June 18 1815, Napoleon's Armée du Nord and a coalition led by Wellington, clashed over the plains of Waterloo in Belgium for a decisive battle. Waterloo is a game for two or three players, one controls the French Army and the other one/two control the Seventh Coalition. Although based on history, players in command of the two sides can modify the evolution of the battle and of the history in the Europe of XIX centuries. Rules Introduction The rules are easy - 6 pages - players can start playing the game without too many rules to remember and the game is 5 turn long (90-120 minutes) Then the 10 Optional Rules provide more specific and detailed rules for an enhanced realism, such as special Cavalry abilities (Charge, Scouting, Impetus), Artillery Bombardment, Retreat, Combined Attack, Morale...
