The new optional rules made the game too biased towards the French. Several allied units lacked commanders and couldn't melee.
The updated rule that disallows detached units from attacking is a problem for me. Bn with a sub commander could not attack! Why?
It was commented that the map of the Tiller version of Waterloo needs historical correction for the area on Wellington's left flank. According to this report and if correct, it is too easy for the French to maneuver there; for which reason Tiller game version might be said to have an unhistorical French bias.
