MD15 - Waterloo - Alternate (18 June 1815)

Use the Austrian LN but 4 blocks for Prussians?

We tested/played it with the full austrian rules, so 5 blocks for austrian LN.

Thank you for the quick reply. So also the Battalion Mass rule too.

Do you think the Prussian expansion will have 5 blocks for LN?

Sadly i don´t know the Prussians rule, but we will kow it soon

And a question come up in my last game:

Q: If the Prussian can not setup all units in the white marked hexes because they are occupied by French units, what is with the remaining Prussian units?

A: They are placed in any adjacend hexes of the white ones.

Just tried this today solo. Two victories for the French 8-3,
and 8-6. The second try wss really close. A great battle, though the Prussians
only came on the game in the second battle and never arrived in the first. When they did
arrive they just sat there and due to lack of cards were unable to move!

Like the reinforcement idea though. Have others found that the Prussians often don't get
to arrive in time? I suppose this makes for a tense historical battle though.

One minor error spotted. In the unit list there is only 1 recorded allied cavalry unit
but there are actually 2 on the map.

Thanks to Michael for creating this scenario!

Updated scenario with official Prussians

Just tried this scenario, together with making the two most western towns into walled farms. Still was an easy french victory.

The right flank is secured by the prussians, but their fores while doing so also give up several banners to France. It would be better if those prussians were less numerous but better quality. Like 2 normal infantry + 1 Grenadier + 1 LC/HC.

The flaw remains the center, just wait for bayonet charge or force march with leaders attached to infantry and that pack of french line + OG can just take the center and that's the end of the game I guess.

Small adustment of scenario notes:
- Picton, Blücher and Ney are "Leaders of Honor"
