You will find all of the historical units that originally fought, in an extremely accurate order of battle. Each unit has its own commander and objectives: under the orders of Marshal Michel Nay, the Duke of Wellington or the Prince William of Orange, you are able to chose which side to take to victory in five new scenarios covering all the critical phases of the battle of Quatre Bras!

The battlefield is meticulously represented in a extensively researched historical 5-mile x 5-mile map. You will be pleased to find all of the features (and more!) that have made Scourge of War: Waterloo one of the best simulators of Napoleonic warfare ever created.

Scourge of War Quatre Bras Released


Is the weekend shaping great or what? Take a look at NorbSoftDev's release (via Matrix/Slitherine) of the Quatre Bras DLC for Scourge of War Waterloo.

(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oYEtN8_h6KM/V2S-TNbV56I/AAAAAAAAUrY/nmSw6op6a6UOlfn6ioOVxYHuoQT8b_-7wCLcB/s1600/SOWWL%2B2016-06-17%2B22-31-33-14.jpg)

This is a DLC (ownership of Scourge of War Waterloo is required) that includes 5 scenarios in which the player can command British, Prussian or French forces.

(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7hSOkPl-Vec/V2S-zuzRhrI/AAAAAAAAUrg/8IVb3iKqKHgSpvmtxGmG1yf8_JfhvHC-QCLcB/s1600/SOWWL%2B2016-06-17%2B22-17-22-82.jpg)

The player can command brigades, divisions and corps, depending on the scenario. The mix of scenarios covers the Battle of Quatre Bras quite well, but it is rather odd that no scenario featuring multi-corps command is included.
