Waterloo - Hougoumont Scenery Pack

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 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.

This plastic set provides enough models to field a complete brigade of three British heavy cavalry regiments (two bases of Royal Scots Greys, three bases of Household Cavalry and six bases of Heavy Dragoons) and a 3-gun battery of Royal Horse Artillery 6-pdrs.

After losing to Napoleon in 1806 the Treaty of Tilsit neutered the Prussian army, allowing the once proud country only a tiny standing army. Despite ingenious efforts to circumvent the wording of the treaty, the Prussian army that mustered to fight in the Hundred Days campaign was mostly made from volunteer Landwehr militia (literally, country defenders).

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.

This French Army starter set provides a solid core of a French army fighting in the Hundred Days campaign!
