HB_Battle of Quatre Bras historical 3.0 (mod) - WDS Campaign Waterloo

Mod by Hans Boersma

Napoleon has ordered Ney to advance towards Brussels as far as Genappe. The fact that Ney finds De Perponcher's 2nd Netherlands Division in a blocking position is thanks only to the initiative of the Netherlands commanders taken in the previous night. The Prince of Orange, who arrived on the field at about 6.30 AM, has ordered Van Merlen's 2nd Netherlands Light Cavalry Brigade to Quatre Bras. The Duke of Wellington, who arrived at about 10 AM, has ordered his Army Reserve to advance to Genappe from the direction of Brussels. He inspected De Perponcher's positions until about 11.00 AM and is now on his way back from a meeting with Blücher at Brye. In the meantime Ney, after Foy's Division arrived on the field and moved into position, has ordered the attack. The Prince of Orange responds by calling up more reinforcements from Genappe and Nivelles, whilst trying to keep at least one foot on the doorstep of the crossroads. [home.deds.nl/~1815]
