Waterloo at the Hall of Heroes
A mega-game of Waterloo involving 20 players was played on the weekend of the 12th–14th June at the "Hall of Heroes" in Campbelltown, NSW. Our aim was to refight the Battle of Waterloo in unforgettable style – the wargame of a lifetime.
Played over five tables and planned to take 12 moves it was one hell of a wargaming weekend!
