Game does illustrate one important fact about CCNappy: The relic from "Battle Cry" of the same VP target for both sides is problematic. Scenarios like this plus historical Allied wins like Victoria and Albuera lean towards the French more than they should.
It is simply time to recognize the obvious: Each side needs a separate "Demoralization (flag) target."
PS. If the typical victory target of 15 flags for both sides is kept, maybe Prussian losses should not be counted in the total or don't include Prussian losses and give the French a 3 permanent banner bonus when they destory 5 Prussian units???

1) Regarding Waterloo Epic, the game does not achieve G's goal of a likely Coalition victory (55%-60%). My "fix" was to suggest that Prussian losses should not count against the Allies. If this seems too generous, I simply am proposing some incentive for the French player to engage the Prussians.
The game is unbalanced in favor of the French as it stands.
2) Regarding CCNapoleonics, the simple solution to many scenarios is to each side have different Banner targets. Yes, for example, Victoria, a 71% French victory, should increase the flags needed by the French to win. For example, increase the French target to 10 or 11 banners and keep the Coalition at 9 banners.
3) Extra banners for elite or guard units are also an excellent idea. Note that only in 1 or my 3 Waterloo Epic plays did the OG become engaged, and it took a "Call Up the Reserves" Tacticians' card to make that happen.
