Excellent.

I do believe that we will be playing Waterloo on TTS tomorrow at 1800 hrs BST using the old SPI 'Napoleons Last Battles' rules; a blast from the past if ever there was one.

I, or so I have been informed, will be Wellington. I shall rely on my Teutonic colleague to amuse and confound Grouchy at Ligne before falling on the French right flank and saving the day.

...if not, I've got me bags packed and a ticket for the ferry to Dover.....................

Don't turn your back on that screw up, Soult.

Very surprised to see Edward Woodward provide the introduction and the narration. Absolutely not surprised to see David Chandler and Patty Griffith were historical consultants.

What rule set do you think they were using? I've read Mr. Gilder had his own rules, (he is also credited as a technical consultant), or maybe it something by Donald Featherstone?
