After pursuing Wellington's Anglo-Allies and being sure that they had indeed stopped and taken up positions, Napoleon bivouacs in front of the low ridge which cuts across the Brussels road near La Belle Alliance, where he makes his headquarters. Dawn finds the ground too wet for operations and it is not until noon that Napoleon launches his preliminary attack to clear the chateau of Hougomont. Napoleon's plan is not elegant. He pushes directly up the road toward Waterloo and Brussels to break the back of Wellington's army. Again and again, French infantry and cavalry combine in attacks against Wellington's extremely strong position. Now the battle reaches a climactic pitch when the French Old Guard assault the wavering center of the British line. But the Guard is repulsed, sent reeling back by a blast of British musket and artillery fire. The French Army breaks, and begins its long retreat to Paris. The most decisive campaign in European history has ended.
Modifications: If the French Player demoralizes either the Anglo-Allied or Prussian Armies, the French Demoralization Level increases by 10 Points. If a French unit enters any hex of Waterloo, the Anglo-Allied Levels decrease by 20 Points. At the instant that the first combat occurs between Prussian and French units, the Anglo-Allied Demoralization and Disintegration Levels Increase by 10 Points.
The French Player wins by demoralizing both the Prussian and Anglo-Allied Armies, or by causing the Anglo-Allied Army to reach its Disintegration Level. The Allied Player wins by demoralizing the French Army or by avoiding the French Victory Conditions at the end of the game.
The Anglo-Allied Player controls all Prussians, Nassauers, British, Hanoverians, Netherlanders, Brunswickers, and K.G.L. units.
The side with the most VP's at the end is the winner. If the French Army ever reaches its Demoralization level the British player is the winner. If the British Army ever reaches its Disintegration level the French player is the winner. If both events happen at the same time the current player is the winner.
