Golgotha's Board Games - Victory at Waterloo - Attactix Adventure Game

Herewith, a classic old Napoleonic board game by Attactix Adventure Games, called Victory at Waterloo. This is a great little board wargame. Simple and quick play whilst being tactical and realistic in result. I particularly like the fact that strategic positions can be won and lost and that lines reform. 

First game was French Tactical victory - so won the battle but lost the war styled result, see table below. The Prussians in my first game had little to no impact except a small cavalry action. Also easy to play these rules solo. 

Picked it up for £3.00 at a charity shop - in very good condition. 

Alternative and or additional rules are available on Boardgamegeek and look like they are worth giving a go...

See: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/7228/victory-waterloo#:~:text=VICTORY%20AT%20WATERLOO%20is%20a,Wellington%20on%2018th%20June%2C%201815.&text=The%20game%20is%20suitable%20for,containing%20numerous%20examples%20of%20play.

Whilst not as good a game as Napoleon by The Avalon Hill Game Co, see: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1662/napoleon-waterloo-campaign-1815 it is still very enjoyable. 








On the field of battle.
