Opponent for Waterloo 007

[Vincent]

Looking for someone to take on the large 388 turn scenario for HPS Waterloo.

I'd prefer the allies but wouldn't mind taking the French, rules open for negotiation. Also would prefer someone that can do 4-5 turns per week.

I'm up for it, but earliest I can start is 14th May as we are off on holiday. If you don't find another opponent by then, we can start. I'm happy to give French a go.

[Vincent]

Ok sounds good, I'll just wait until the 14th then.

If you can manage two I am available

I'll tell you guys something: That scenario, or any WL scenario designed by Charlie C. is completely imaginary. jonny :(

Any game scenario is imaginary, but what is the particular problem with this one?

Yes of course everything is an illusion, didn't the Buddha say something like that?

The placement of all units, especially the Prussian Army, is wholly wrong and completely imaginary; this is a fantasy scenario. Everything is imaginary except the map. Nothing is where it was in June 15th 1815. The designer committed a fraud, slipped it by the testers, got paid, quit and is gone. We are left with the residue and HPS clearly doesn't have plans to ever rectify the situation. jonny

"Any game scenario is imaginary, but what is the particular problem with this one?"

For example, on June 15th both Prussian III & II Korps were off the map to the east near Namur. On the 16th they arrived and that is why we see them on any Ligne wargame strung out on the Namur Road north of the battlefield. The "Large Historical" scenario has III Korps on the southeast quadrant marching north and II Korps far to the north marching south. That's imaginary placement and while it might make for an interesting game it is not historical. The stock Waterloo scenario is just as bad. It's a fraud and if this were done in Panzer Campaigns there would be an outrage but because it's Napoleonics not enough people care and nothing is done. jonny
