And finally.....................

Well it happened, yesterday we fought the Battle of Waterloo, our somewhat truncated version anyway. The previous day brought rain in a serendipitous authentic manner, so we spent the afternoon gluing the models to their movement bases and other preparation activities. Yesterday dawned bright and clear, although the clouds did threaten from time to time, more of that later.

A view of the field with the Elm Tree Crossroads, sandpit, La Haye It'aint and La Dell Appliance nearest the camera mysteriously appearing having travelled through time and space from Getttysburg.

An early view of French infantry advancing, we were sort of fortunate that the parched nature of what was once a lawn (now mostly moss) and the fallen pine needles from a neighbours' tree combined to look a bit like cereal crops as per the actual field.

This is the French right wing masses of cavalry with infantry columns in the background.

A close-up of the cuirassiers forever charging at full pelt, dragoons following with light cavalry, hussars and lancers further along the line.

More pictures and a description of how the action panned out, followed by a brief overview of the rules we used and lessons learned later.

Comments, criticisms or anything else, welcomed. Thanks for looking.
