The village of Plancenoit saw bitter hand-to-hand fighting and close quarters carnage as von Bülow's Prussian IV Korps entered the fray at Waterloo. Will your French army wrestle back control of this key strategic position for the Emperor or will your grim and resolute Prussians sweep away the hated French and carry victory for von Blücher's army?

The most basic infantry building block was the infantry regiment (referred to as a “battalion” in Hardee’s drill manual, which was used by both sides). In both North and South the infantry regiments were organised on similar lines.

Napoleon Bonaparte, the Corsican Tyrant, plunged Europe back into war once again by leading an emboldened French army against a resolute England and her allies. The Hundred Days campaign raged, witnessing numerous battles both before and after that decisive day at Waterloo.

Smartly dressed in sombre dark uniforms the ranked columns of Prussian infantry marched steadily to face Napoleon. Even after suffering a bitter defeat Ligny, in the midst of retreat, the disciplined professional soldiers were still able to muster their resolve and turn to England's aid, falling on Napoleon's flank at the pivotal moment during the Battle of Waterloo.

Can you succeed where Napoleon Bonaparte's French Army failed? Can you capture the farm at Papelotte from the Allied garrison before the Prussians enter the field during the battle of Waterloo, or will your valiant Nassau defenders see off the savage assaults of Les Bleus?

The Iron Brigade (or black hats) was an infantry brigade in the Union Army of the Potomac, formed of regiments of three now Midwest states.

Cavalry played a pivotal role in all conflicts up to and including the American Civil War, however it is fair to say that the use of cavalry was forever changed during the War.
