Waterloo Quelle Affaire! designed by Alessio Cavatore & illustrated by Peter Dennis is a hex-based boardgame that allows two players to recreate what is arguably the most famous battle in history The units in the game are activated by cards that represent the Commanders of the various army corps as well as Stratagem cards that add more fun strategy & unpredictability to the battle These cards are full of"es both from history & from famous Napoleonic movies “ By God sir I have lost my leg – By God sir so you have” or “ We shall match them with our lancers!” Nobody can resist reading these with the right accent… The challenge You win the game by destroying half the total combat strength of the enemy army This task is easier for the French when only one army faces them However if Wellington’s forces survive long enough for the Prussians to finally arrive the tip of the scale will swing in favour of the Allies & the French are probably going to find themselves fighting for their life & nobody can be sure exactly when the Prussians are going to appear in the East…
