Product details

Background & context

The farmstead of La Haye Sainte was a central strongpoint of the Allied position along the Brussels road during the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. A relatively small garrison of soldiers from the King's German Legion - an elite formation of German soldiers in British service - held the massively built property for hours against vastly superior French forces. When ammunition finally ran out, French infantrymen and sappers under Lieutenant Vieux broke through the main gate - the hand-to-hand combat in the courtyard is one of the bloodiest episodes of the entire campaign. The late arrival of Blücher's Prussians prevented the French tactical success from having a strategic impact.

On the tabletop

The La Haye Sainte Battle Set works as a scenario or battle box in Black Powder with matched forces. The box provides both sides or central scenario elements, so that historical battles can be set up directly as coherent game situations. The focus is on the Waterloo campaign. The national assignments of France, Great Britain, and Hanover help in building suitable forces and scenarios.
