I've posted a blog post about Phil Sabin's tweaks of Jim Dunnigan's NAPOLEON AT WATERLOO on my blog. It includes links to Phil's website/blog and his YouTube video about his version of the rules. link

Interesting thanks for posting. It's great that the original game is free to download and would seem o be well thought of. I once saw Professor Phil Sabin give a talk at the Society of Ancients battle day on Zama. He explained how his rules were developed as a tool to help explain what might have happened in a particular ancient battle. I'm a little unsure as to what the individual counters in the original Waterloo game might represent. Do you think the game can be transcribed to your Portable Napoleonic wargame?
