About Napoleon's Last Battles, from BoardGameGeek:

Napoleon's Last Battles depicts the last campaign of Napoleon: the Waterloo Campaign (1815). It contains 4 individual battles (with own counters and maps): Quatre Bras Ligny Wavre La Belle Alliance (Waterloo) and a campaign game linking all 4 maps and covering the whole camapign. The latest DG edition adds three more scenarios, including a Grand Waterloo battle scenario. Napoleon's Last Battles uses the Napoleon at Waterloo system with modifications for command control and Line of Communication. The campaign game starts from Quatre Bras / Ligny and lasts 3 days. Units are mainly brigades. Kevin Zucker used the rules in a revised edition later on for Napoleon at Leipzig (adding Cavalry Charges) and Four Lost Battles (adding Cards for Movement, General Decisions of Higher Commands, etc.). After a longer break the designer came back with The Coming Storm: Quadrigame of the Fourth Coalition October 1806 - June 1807, which is based on the former "Four Lost Battles" concept, adding baggage- and pontoon trains. In 2011 The Last Success: Quadrigame of the War Against Austria, April - July 1809 was published to create a "family" of games called "Series: The Library of Napoleonic Battles (OSG)" which all could be played under the same rule set. Kevin Zucker republished Napoleon at Leipzig in 2012/13 in a 5th edition for the 200th anniversary of the epic battle and updated Napoleon's Last Battles with Napoleon's Last Gamble: Battles of the Hundred Days in 2015. Nevertheless all rule-editions can be used for the original NLB-game. GAME SYSTEM: inspired Series: The Library of Napoleonic Battles (OSG) - formerly known as the "Napoleon's Last Battles (NLB-)Series" - scale = 480m/hex, - time = 1hour/GT, - strength = 500-800 men/SP. Napoleon's Last Battles was originally published by SPI then by TSR. The last 3rd edition was released by Decision Games.
