Le Bataille de Mont St.Jean

by Clash of Arms.

 

  In most ways it presents a much classier looking updated version of the Wellington's Victory game. But in this case, the terrain still looks somewhat flat in comparison, despite the great effort put into detailed slope markings all over the game's four maps.

Beyond Waterloo

by Against the Odds.

 

  Operational strategy game featuring the European Allied Coalition against Napoleon's France. Spies, fortresses, Murat's Italian escapade, and the French Vendee uprising are also included as relevant historical factors.

Waterloo 200

by VentoNuovo Games

 

  Lovely map that uses subdivisions of local areas bordering each other. Uses Stratego style playing piece designs for a challenging fog of war dimension. Highly rated game.

Waterloo - Enemy Mistakes

by Pendragon Studio Games

 

  Good looking map. Much like a 2D version of a Napoleonic miniatures tabletop wargame.

Napoleon at Waterloo

by SPI

 

  Likely the best ever produced introduction wargame made as a basic starter module. Simple rules and easy fun playing. The game evolved into expanded versions.

The Battle of Waterloo

by Palitoy / Parker Games

 

Perhaps the simplest  Waterloo  game to play ever produced. But it is lots of fun with at least some historical learning merits.

 

Very much a rarity to find.

Waterloo: A Battle Game - 1895

by Parker Games

 

A very rare collector's item.

Possibly the oldest known Waterloo wargame ever produced.

Airfix Waterloo Wargame 1975

by Airfix

 

 If you couldn't afford lead miniature soldiers in the 1970s, you could fondly make do with Air.fix plastic soldiers to paint up and play  imaginative wargames. Airfix made an effort with a combo of its toy soldiers blended into a boardgame concept.

 

See Patrick Storto's modded version of the game.

Waddington's 'CAMPAIGN'

by Parker Games

 

  Very popular classic game back in the 1970s. More of a Napoleonic strategy game as opposed to a standard wargame. Uses cards and generic playing pieces on a very fittingly artsy map. Easy rules  system, alliance opportunities - and the luck of the die-rolls create endless possibilities.

Waterloo 200 Years - STRATEGO

by Jumbo Games

CREPAX - Waterloo (1965)

Waterloo

by Treefrog Games

 

  Uses unique and quaint playing pieces. If one feels they are too groovy one has the option to replace them with miniature soldiers if available.
