Pictures from this scenario are available here.
June 19th, 1815, Belgium
Blucher's Prussians have been shattered at Ligny and are in full
retreat. Wellington, having given Ney a bloody nose at Quatre Bras,
has fallen back to Waterloo to await the French onslaught...
only to discover that Napoleon used the torrential rain on the 17th
to hide a forced march West, and outflank the Anglo-Allied army and
cut it off from Brussels. Now, Wellington is desperately trying to
readjust his army to stop the French and keep his line of retreat open.
A mixed bag of divisions from the Anglo-Allied army will go up against
two French Corps caught in march column.

Artillery Battery | 4 Points |
Infantry Battalion | 2 Points |
Skirmisher Stand | 1 Point |
Cavalry Regiment | 1 Point |
Anglo-Allied
The Allies are trying to hold open their path of retreat so their objective is
(1) to stop the French from exiting off the North road, and
(2) cut the North-South road
