Napoleon in Russia Project

Well what now, first you point to the The Waterloo Companion and then you ignore the info in that book yourself. The Companion notes that the IG is still arriving at 11:30(p 161) and the 4th division was still not in position what simply means they are still marching at 11:30(p. 162). Don't get me wrong, it looks like that scenario needs some adjustment but still calling it and the whole game "fantasy" is not only too harsh but simply way beyond any reason. PS I not sure the expansion pack gives any improvements but maybe one should install that too to make sure he gets anything that is available.

The reason I call it fantasy is because it is not possible play the wargame as a simulation of the actual battle. Having to begin the battle by attacking Hugomont with the 5th Division instead of the 6th & 9th because they are completely out of position means the game designer was fantasizing about the course of the battle and didn't actually know what happened! Every battle map that I have ever seen has the 4th Division in place to the right of the 3rd @ 1130. Maybe I'm wrong. The IG spent the night at Rossomme and deployed a few thousand yards from there so where else were they coming from so that they might arrive so late? Those fellows were not stragglers. Armee du Nord was an efficient military machine and was in position to fight when Napoleon issued his orders @ 1100. jonny
