La Bataille de Wavre

About this board game

La Bataille de Wavre is a two-player historical wargame covering the exploits of the right wing of L’Armée du Nord on June 18. Each game turn represents 20 minutes, offering a focused treatment of the Wavre action within the Waterloo series.

Released in 1994, La Bataille de Wavre completes a series that also includes Ligny, Les Quatre Bras, and Mont St Jean. It can be played independently, making it a standalone game, or linked with Mont St Jean so the two battles can be resolved simultaneously.

The game presents the battlefield at a scale of 100 meters per hex. Its strength scale is 50–100 men per strength point, with units represented at regimental or brigade size.

• Players: 2

La Bataille de Wavre does not include counters. To play it, you need the counters from the deluxe version of either Mont St Jean or Ligny. This component requirement connects the game directly to the broader Waterloo series while allowing its Wavre scenario to stand on its own.

For players exploring the Waterloo series, this title provides the dedicated Wavre perspective and a way to combine its events with Mont St Jean for simultaneous resolution.
