A Waterloo study for military modellers and wargamers
The publication of the first book in an exciting new series on the Waterloo campaign provides military modelers and wargamers with a wealth of new material upon which to reproduce the rival armies and to recreate the scenarios in which they were engaged. Furthermore, a new online archive provides instant access to an array of additional information.
Providing members with outstanding value
The exciting new series of books incorporates previously unpublished material on the Allied army, and will cover the French and Prussians. During 2010, books will be released on the Hanoverian, Netherlands and British troops, with each providing significant new information on the campaign. The fighting at Hougoumont, the defeat of the Garde Impériale, and the defence of La Haie Sainte are just some of the topics covered, and the series will also cover the uniforms, weapons and equipment of the various participants.

The first of two volumes on the Netherlands contingent will be available from the 18th March 2010, and contains a collection of letters and reports from officers and men who served with the army commended by the Duke of Wellington. These provide an insight into the role of the Dutch and Belgian troops and cover the fighting at Les Quatre Bras and the battle of Waterloo. In addition, there are returns with battalion strengths and lists of the killed and wounded, and the whole is enhanced by full colour illustrations.
