I didn’t want to omit the numerous clashes that occurred following the Battle of Waterloo, where the Prussians pressed the defeated French army as it retreated toward Paris such as The Action at La Falize (Scenario 16), so a number of the latter scenarios are devoted to this. Ladder Campaign One of the overarching themes of the battles of The Waterloo Campaign is that many took place within built-up areas; as a result, I decided that the first scenario ( The Action at Thuin) would play heavily into this. This relatively small-scale clash between the French and Prussians on 15th June is a great way to ease gamers into playing with some of the more advanced rules that reoccur throughout the book.

The brigade's losses were very heavy: one French volley at point blank range decimated the 7th and 8th Militia, who had most of their officers killed or wounded, the brigade commander Bylandt being one of the wounded who had to be evacuated. The two battalions lost their command structure in one stroke. The total of casualties for the whole brigade for the day was around 800 killed and wounded ( Hamilton-Williams 1993, pp.310–311). This view appears to have arisen from a comment by Captain Clark-Kennedy of the 1st Dragoons 'Royals', in a letter in H. T. Siborne's book, he makes an estimate of around 900men actually in line within the Union Brigade before its first charge ( Siborne 1891, Letter 35, p. 69). Clark-Kennedy does not, however, explain how his estimate was arrived at. The shortfall of 432men (the equivalent of a whole regiment) from the paper strength of the brigade is large. However, another officer of the brigade, John Mills of the 2nd Dragoons, says that the effective strength of the brigade did not "exceed 1,200" ( Glover 2007, p.59). Evans, Mark, et al.

A welcome improvement over the old A5-sized book.

Barbero points out that in April the minister informed Wellington that cavalry regiments could allow themselves no more than 360 horses. The text of this memorandum from Torrens to Wellington Barbero refers to is available in Hamilton-Williams, p.75.Clodfelter, M. (2017).

Three armies participated in the battle: Napoleon's Armée du Nord, a multinational army under Wellington, and a Prussian army under General Blücher. Waterloo cost Wellington around 17,000 dead or wounded, and Blücher some 7,000 (810 of which were suffered by just one unit: the 18th Regiment, which served in Bülow's 15th Brigade, had fought at both Frichermont and Plancenoit, and won 33 Iron Crosses). [220] Napoleon's losses were 24,000 to 26,000 killed or wounded, including 6,000 to 7,000 captured with an additional 15,000 deserting subsequent to the battle and over the following days.

Lord Hill may be credited with having settled this minute question of fact. He took two watches with him into the fight, one a stop-watch, and he marked with it the sound of the first shot fired... At ten minutes to twelve the first heavy gun rang sullenly from the French ridge" ( Fitchett 2006, Chapter: King-making Waterloo).
