"Waterloo is still today remembered as one of the great Battles in History.- Scenes from the Battle are still annually enacted by amateurs of military history.- If Napoleon or Waterloo are among your favourite history subjects, try this quiz."

Best of luck!

Crappy quiz! An embarrassing number of questions not related to Waterloo! |

23/25 One I probably should have got, and the other was a 50/50 guess, as I had no idea. I imagine most will get about the same- or better! |

I got 20 and I regard myself as well up on Waterloo
A couple of questions I thought were a bit oddly worded. Is the terrain hilly or flat? Compared to where? SPOILER! I do whinge and take issue about the Belgians allegedly fighting on both sides. I dont think a small number of leftover conscripts should really count. |

Well I got 25/25. But only because I read Forrester's SPOILER and so ticked the "Right" answer. But it gave me victory, so I'm sure Napoleon would have done the same, |

I scored 22. Agree that several questions – such as the origin of the name Coldstream Guards – were not really about Waterloo. |

22/25 – questions 13 and 22 I should have known. Question 18 can **** off. |
