Waterloo Wargame - Table Top Game by Airfix (1975) Unplayed
Could Napoleon have won or will History repeat
itself,
In this Great Game released by Airfix in 1975
you take command of either Wellingtons Allied Force or Napoleons French Army.
This is a Large Game with a Roll out Map showing
the Waterloo Battlefield , The Game comes with 69 Scaled Miniatures of the
various Regiments involved in the Battle.
Each Miniature is attached to different sized
bases which denotes the size of the regiment 1000,2000,4000 Men etc and is
identified with the Commanders Name.
Each Regiment starts on a designated spot on the
Map as per its Historic start point in the Battle.
Movement is carried out using special Calipers
which indicate how far each unit moves (Infantry,Cavalry or Artillery)
depending whether it is travelling by Road or Across Country.
Battles take place and the outcomes are
determined by the Size of the Force on each side,whether Attacking from the
Front,Side or Rear
but also whether the defending Force is within one of the Strongholds on the Map
which the Allied Forces occupy and the Dice which adds a bit of unpredictability as in real Battles .
The Calipers are also used to calculate the Range and Arc of Artillery Fire.
The Battle takes place within a limited time which ticks down from the Historical Start of the Battle until the Historical Finish of the Battle in which the Prussians arrive and Napoleon is defeated . Napoleon or Wellington can also Triumph by inflicting 30,000 losses onto their opponents.
This Game is very impressive when set up due to the range and type of Miniatures supplied as can be seen on the Box Front,
The Game is for 2 Players aged 10 Years to Adult.
This Game is Complete and is in Excellent Unplayed Condition with the Vast Majority of the Figures still on their Plastic Frames (A few have become detached over the Years from Storage).
This Game brings back wonderful Memories and is one of my all time favourites, This one is also a bit special as it unplayed and I very much doubt there will be a better example left.
The Box is in Very Good Condition for its Age
