The French Imperial Army, under Napoleon I, was defeated by two armies of the Seventh Coalition. In my historical analysis, I will use a counterfactual study ("what if") or as I call it, a historical simulation of this campaign presented in the book "On Waterloo: Clausewitz, Wellington, and the Campaign of 1815", edited by Christopher Bassford, to which I now add some ideas from the "Myths and Controversies" section of the book "The Waterloo Companion" by Mark Adkin. In developing the simulation of this battle, I will use the board game "Waterloo, Napoleons last battle" by Phalanx Games.
