Project Waterloo: Troop Deployment

 

I set out all the troops for the game last night and this morning.


Map of the terrain; each big square i12" by 12", so contains 4 boxes. 


Hougoumont and LeHaye Sainte are garrisoned by Allied troops.


Long view of the table and troops.


Deployment Map.


View from the British side; Mont St Jean is in the foreground.


The British Left flank.


And another long view from the opposite end of the battlefield. 


Gaming items added. Litko Dials for casualties, color coded by command., color linked D6 sets, and the Chance Card decks.

  2. Very impressive Peter. Those buildings really do the trick, and I think the scale is just right if you don't want to just end up playing a Hougoumont skirmish game.

    1. Yes, anything bigger, even 15 mm, would just have too great a footprint. I think the scale discrepancy between the figures and models is tolerable.

    3. Well, it will run three times on Friday, so a fairly large window. :-)
      There's always far more that I want to do at Historicon than time to do it!
