Close Quarter Battles: Waterloo, a game of tactical combat set in the Napoleonic era. With this game, players will be able to recreate the famous assaults on the farms of La Haye Sainte and Hougoumont during the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815. It hopes to demonstrate how ferocious the fighting was around these iconic locations that even today bear the scars of that famous day. Indeed, the capture of these two farms became an obsession for the French, and thousands of Napoleon’s men would become casualties trying to wrest control of them from the smaller Anglo-Allied garrisons. The fighting was intense, often involving hand-to-hand combat, and raged for hours through woods, orchards, and finally into the farms. Both the attackers and defenders demonstrated incredible bravery and their efforts helped in no small way to determine the outcome of the battle. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/340327/close-quarter-battles-waterloo
