VentoNuovo Games has developed a new wargame
“The sun rose on the morning of 18th June, 1815. Napoleon Bonaparte breakfasted with his generals at
Rossome on the Brussels’s road. The conversation returned to the weather; It had poured rain
throughout the night and Drouot, the commander of the Emperor’s artillery was worried about the effect
on his guns. Napoleon acquiesced to a delay in starting the attack. This was the first of many fateful
decisions to be made on that day…”
VNG is proud to announce the launch of its new Napoleonic historical wargame: “WATERLOO 200”
which will portray the most famous - and the last - battle fought by Napoleon.
The game is an entry level wargame which uses fog of war and area movement mechanisms in
combination with a innovative combat system that is completely diceless.
Over 115 wooden blocks depict - at brigade level - the military formations involved in the battle, from
the Grand Battery opening fire at 13.30 till the last stand of Cambronne's Imperial Guard.
Every French and Allied brigade present is represented by a block.
The map - in line with previous productions - covers in a very detailed and colourful way the plain of
Waterloo and its environs where the battle was fought on that fateful Sunday the 18th of June, 1815.
The box is big - A3 size - and tough enough to contain all the game components securely.

“WATERLOO 200 is an amazing game, easy to learn but hard to master, as the lack of dice makes it different
from any previous games on the conflict. Now, as Napoleon, can you push the Allies aside and march victoriously
on to Brussels, or as Wellington, cling to the ridge at Mont St Jean to thwart the Emperor's plans? With Waterloo
200, you are able to put yourself in the place of these great commanders and maybe change history" says Jim
O'Neill, Historical Researcher.

WATERLOO 200 is a tactical game recreating the most decisive battle fought by Napoleon before his final
abdication.
Although based on historical orders of battles, the players in command of the two sides can alter the outcome of
the battle.
The game is recommended for two or three players, but has great solitaire suitability.
The projected release day is June 18, 2015, preorders will open in May.
