INTRODUCTION
It has been a damned serious business... Blucher and I have lost 30,000 men. It has been a damned uncertain thing — the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life. .. Wellington, June 1815

It’s impact on history has been debated, but never doubted. The phrase "to meet your Waterloo" has entered the English language as a phrase signifying a great test with a final and decisive outcome. At stake was Europe’s dominance, and in some respects the world.
Waterloo was the first and only time Napoleon and Wellington faced each other directly in battle during the Napoleonic wars. The historical result is known. The victor, Wellington, knew how close the outcome swayed.
Now you are in command and the decisions are yours…
