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.

The French are trying to cut off the British avenue of retreat. Therefore, they need to

(1) hold the crossroads, and

(2) either take the town or exit 12 points of units off the North road to block the British . The point value of exited units is as follows:

 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

 

Balance:

Remove one Anglo-Allied Light Cavalry Brigade and one Allied Infantry Brigade
