Well to the French 2nd corps, yes the left seems to "hang" a bit.
Likely the 6th and 9th division should run along the road west of where the 2nd cops CO is placed. What's wrong with 4th Division? Seem its trying to place right of 3rd division like it should. IG on its way up seems correct as it was still on the move.
Of course with the left hanging the 3rd Cav. Corps behind it is also to far south.
4th Cav Corps maybe a bit more West and closer to 1st corps.
Makes one wonder if maybe the starting time is wrong and 11:00 would be better,
Anyhow all these are things that could need some more research and after that maybe an adjustment, still no reason to call it "fantasy", you could call it that way if Wellington sends is secret "my little pony" brigade forward or Napoleon sends in Asterix & Oberlix.
Overall the early games need a rework anyway to bring them down to the 10 minute turns that the later titles have and as these seem to work much better.

The French Army wasn't on the move @ 1130. It was deployed. This is the most famous battle in history: Not only a massive amount of research has gone into it, but there are literally many hundreds of eyewitness accounts extant. In addition, the scenario has Wellington's Army all over the place too; I just don't want to get into that right now but what's the sense of playing an historical scenario when practically none of the units on either the Allied, Prussian or French side are accurately placed? You don't see things like this happen in Panzer Campaigns; there would be an uproar. jonny
