Beschreibung:
Ligny 1815, Last Eagles in the 3rd game in the Eagles of France series, following Waterloo 1815, Austerlitz 1805 and Ligny 1815.

Scenarios:
• Historical battle. In this scenario, the initial deployment and reinforcement arrivals will replicate what occurred on June 16th, 1815. This is the re-creation of the historical battle.
• Historical battle with variable reinforcements Previous scenario was about replicating the historical battle but not the actual mindset of the commanders who had no clue when exactly their reinforcements would arrive, and even less of an idea as to what was in front of them. With Scenario 2, while deviating from the written history, players will be able to better simulate the strategic uncertainty of the Napoleonic battlefield, for which Quatre-Bras is a very good example. Here, instead of optimizing a sequence which both players know in advance, the uncertainty about reinforcements will put players closer to the real thing than before.
• Ney’s early attack. This is a “what if” scenario. What if Ney had immediately attacked on the morning of the 16th ? Assuming a better concentration of the II corps and immediate action from Ney, this earlier move could have happened. This short scenario can be used for tournaments and as an introduction to the game.
• Wellington attacks Ney. This is another “what if” scenario for Quatre-Bras. In this scenario, we assume that Wellington would have been able to concentrate much quicker against the French left. He would be then able to reinforce Blucher and/or attack Ney.

16th June 1815 : Quatre Bras and Ligny

Last Eagles Quatre Bras 1815 et Last Eagles Ligny 1815 can combine to offer a unique gaming experience on this scale of June 16th that could have completely changed the Belgian campaign. Thus two to six players can compete in 3 campaigns.
Napoléon’s lost opportunity

This is the short campaign version starting in the early afternoon with the bulk of the French army deployed against Blucher. In this campaign scenario, all units are deployed or appear as reinforcements according to history. D’Erlon’s I corps will not take part in any battles.
Is that dust cloud D’Erlon’s column?

This variant of the previous campaign game includes variable reinforcements.
Grand Campaign game: Napoléon’s Last Eagles

This is the ultimate June 16th, 1815 experience (and the main reason to have developed Ligny and Quatre-Bras in this format). This campaign starts at 9am with few troops deployed on the battlefield. Reinforcements from each side will gradually come into play throughout the day. The strategic situation is completely open. Now the French can decide to push in priority against Wellington, Blucher can counter attack the French right or implement a fighting withdrawal. Also, Wellington might be quicker to concentrate around Quatre-Bras. The fog of war here and the strategic experience is closest to the reality that the opposing commanders experienced at that time.
