I have not done it for AoE but have the first day for GA and on the GA site is the OOB for the second day. Also Chadwicks campaign of 1809 book is great for...
I’ve been thinking about these strong but small built up areas. I have also visited the Waterloo site and feel to ignore the farm houses could allow the ...
Gavin La Haye Sainte at Waterloo is a very instructive example. The first French attack in this area was by D'Erlon's I Corps. Specifically, the 1st Division ...
The importance of small strongly built farmhouses used as defensive positions is often overlooked. La Haye Sainte was the key to the Allied centre at Waterloo,...
Hmm. Sounds like we need a rule for outposts. Something like having to stay out of skirmish range until reduced by a success of 4+ on the Bayonet and Sabre...
I think one of the strengths of AoE is it is easy to graft on scenario rules that you like. So creating a strongly defended position is easy. I can understand...

Grand Armee actually has a specific mechanic for representing this sort of garrison force. I don't think it's a bad idea to have a mechanic to depict this sort...
What looks like a later shot of the same action is reproduced in A.J.P. Taylor's, "How Wars Begin" (ISBN 0-689-10982-2) p.96-97. I've scanned it and posted it...
I have just posted the above excel workbook in the files section. I do not seem to have much in the way of information of X Corps. Can anyone help with this? ...
Even then LHS was only taken when the garrison ran out of ammo. The only way into these small strongpoints is via the gateways. A small no of men can keep...
here are some pics that a mate took when we visited the 1815 battlefields last weekend. http://picasaweb.google.com/dpbaxmh/Waterloo Kind regards Geoff...
For some reason I only just saw this message. What I still don't understand is why the tirailleur formation is dramatically *smaller* than a line formation...
When I created my own Waterloo scenario for AoE, I took the garrison of each strongpoint to be the total number of troops comitted to its defence during the...
There appears to be some spam in the files section: militarysingle.html !!!!!!!!!!!!AAA_MOVIE_MOVIE!!!!.html !!!!!!!!!AAA_MOVIE_MOVIE!!!!.html Cordially, John....
FWIW department. contacted Bruce Weigel on a FPW Group, and nobody knows for sure, though the consensus seems to be that they are authentic. Ciao, Bill G ... ...
... Hi Dan, No its occupied and farmed, closed to the general public. I got the pics as I had special permission to enter. There are plans for a whole new...
This is so long overdue. The current facilities are an embarassment to history. And that movie they play there with the kids walking in and out of time witht...
Hi Guys, actually the Waterloo redelopment has ground to a halt. An objection to building on the carpark has been lodged and succeeded, thereby stopping it all...
I've just joined up the group and I 've just started playing AOE. Had enough of dbx'ing for a while, nice to see a set of rules that aren't bound by points and...
Wouldn't it be grate if they just used common sense and preserved the whole darn battlefield, such as at Gettysburg. Hugomont, or La Haye Sante I'm sure would...
... GW: no argument there. And the illuminated lights model with slideshow backdrop has quite a few historical errors in it. ... GW: I personally think its too...
There is a special legislation for the battlefield area - designed to preserve it intact. Depsite that fact that they built a ferkin gert convent on the side...
For anyone in the market, I've put some Painted 6mm units on ebay, they are based and organized for AOE, and the base size corresponds to 15mm dimensions. The...
I'm about ready to send this map up to Rich H for him to reproduce as regards our scenario book. I'm using the map out of Nafziger, but there is a problem: ...
