The last army led by Napoleon, the Army of the North, was made up of several veteran generals who had re-joined Napoleon after his exile. With nearly 20 years of war-torn battles, the country was exhausted, and some cavalry regiments were merged due to lack of resources and cavaliers. The troops lack of trust in their commanders, as many were seen as royalists and traitors. Despite this, the French army remained a formidable force. At the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon was supported by senior officers such as Marshal Ney, General Kellerman and General D’erlon. Marshal Grouchy was assigned to lead the III Corps in pursuit of Marshal Blucher after the Battle of Ligny two days before Waterloo. In our game, we've included the option of changing the course of history with the arrival of Marshal Grouchy in support of Napoleon.

At the Battle of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington led the Allied forces to victory as the supreme commander. Made up of veterans from the Peninsular War who had fought the French in Spain, the British foot guards were among the most experienced troops. Known to refer to his men as the “scum of the earth”, Wellington was known to enforce strict discipline and would have no hesitation in having soldiers hanged if necessary. Before the battle, Wellington had visited the fields of Waterloo and famously declared his plans, saying “I kept it in my pocket”. The Allied forces were strategically positioned on the right flank at the farm of Hougoumont, surrounded by woods, with the Farm of La Haye Sainte in the centre and the farm of Papelotte on the left flank. This created a strong defensive position in anticipation of the arrival of Field Marshal Blucher and the Prussian army, who ultimately turned the tide at the most critical moment of the battle.

The Prussian army was secretly rebuilt after their defeat in the Battle of Jena. Conscripts were mostly from the landwehr or the inexperienced militia and led by a Marshal who was determined to take revenge on the French after suffering many defeats on the battlefield. The Dutch army, under the command of the politically appointed 20-year-old Prince of Orange, fought bravely during the battle at Waterloo. The Brunswick forces, known for their black uniforms, were led by the Duke of Brunswick himself until his death during the battle of Quatre Bras two days before the battle of Waterloo. The elite Brunswick Totenkopf hussars and Guard infantry made a great contribution to the battle at Waterloo.
