The Battle of Waterloo West Point Museum June 1815-2015 Commemorative Game

Just returned from West Point weekend game. Drove down with Mike and Scott we had a wonderful time. The battle was broken down to 3 separate tables Hougoumont,Plancenoit and La Haye Sainte/Papelotte . Mike and I were Allies on Hougoumont Scott Prussian on Plancenoit. Needless to say the French were victorious on all three table. For our table I can say the French Players used superior tactics against us. We got tied up with trying to get our reserves on the table causing a traffic jam. We should have been more patient. I know on our table Hougoumont fell to the young guard briefly but we were able to get it back before end of game. Our down fall was the casualties we suffered a total of around 9000 troops compared to only 3000 French I haven't got the specifics on the other tables yet but I do know French Victorious on all three.
The game was played using Carnage & Glory rules http://www.carnageandgloryii.com/index.htmAs I said the battle was fought on 3 separate table with results from all entered into a single OOB at the end of games to get results.
