Love the topographic layout, although I think my head would have hurt trying to figure out the varying levels :D.

I admire the hard work that has gone into doing that. Does it cause any problems if a unit straddles two or more elevations?

Looks superb - a magnificent effort. At some stage I must get my son (a French speaker - he's in the wine trade) to help me translate the text.

Very interesting. I managed to work out the majority of the text with the benefit of my schoolboy French learnt some 45 years ago!

Thank you all for the nice comments. Google translate should work fine for the English version of the report. I appreciate though the efforts of Subetai and Leman. This game included around 7 000 miniatures. There will be a Waterloo 3.0 in France in a few years with the Prussians, the rest of the 6mm collection of 1815 buildings from Total Battle Miniatures (there was only Hougoumont and La Haie Sainte in this 2.0), better tables and at least 8 players. It is difficult to find motivated players in China and four players  were not enough, we managed to do 21 turns with the General de Brigade rules. My next project will be Preussisch-Eylau.

That is fantastic!

If you have problems finding gamers in China, I can think of one in Texas that would be honored to fight one of your games! ;)

V/R,
Jack
