Sunday; 18 June 1815; on an unassuming rain-soaked field in Belgium; two great generals of the age finally met in battle; ending fifteen years of continuous warfare on the continent; and bringing to an end the reign of Napoleon. The Battle of Waterloo; arguable the most famous battle in all military history; provides more than a fitting subject for our second foray into the 'Epic' scale of wargaming. Black Powder Epic Battles: Waterloo is upon us.
