An overview of the mess. The Allied right is being hard pressed by the French - but can the Prussians save the day?
By now Wellington was rushing troops from left to right (from his point of view) as the Dutch evaporated.
The Prussians began to edge round Ney's flank...
At this point I suggested that both sides consult their victory conditions. For the French this meant having two units on the north edge of the board within 6 inches of the road to the north.
Napoleon and a pair of Guard units managed to achieve this.
It can now be revealed that the Emperor's true objective was less the road to Brussels and more the cheap wine on sale at the Carrefour supermarket which these days is situated just off the board to the north. Truly then have I trod in the Emperor's footsteps....

Great looking battle. Few of us even dare to dream of outdoing the Emperor.
Great fun! Lucky that the drive on Brussels worked out as those Prussians looked plentiful and menacing!

The Emperor has never been in front of me in the queue at Carrefour. Just saying….

As was said at the time - a damn close rung thing. I thought that game was up when Blucher showed up.
