TDG: Waterloo Solitaire: Board Game Edition 

I have the book version and i have the board version .I just love the board version .Something about moving the blocks around .I also painted Nato symbols on them..Thinking about using minis .The Discriminating gamer forgot to mention there are 3 difficulty levels. ;-)

So funny I just learned how to play this game and finished the first play about 2 hours before you posted this review. I have to agree with you this is a fantastic game. Great review.

Yes live playthrough plz ☘️

Playing Napoleon is great! I feel like either side could win especially the games of hardest difficulty. But playing Wellington was disappointing, I just kept winning with little effort. So I made it more challenging for Wellington to win by modifying the BOT rules for the French. I added to French BOT roll of one: If Prussian have 2 units on game board move one French Reserve unit to reinforce I Corps. Then the given "4 Prussion" option and the "otherwise" option. I added to French BOT roll of four: at the end: BUT, If there is only one Guard unit left after the attack move the last Guard unit to reinforce I Corps. I also add to the French BOT rolls of five or six that after the Cavalry attack: if 3 Cavalry units still remain move one to reinforce it's adjacent Corps. (Dragoons could dismount and use their muskets :). Lastly I changed the BOT 6 roll on the "Tactical Events" to remove 2 Allied Infantry units rather than just the one. Finally it was fun and quite challenging playing Wellington too! Enjoy from Virginia!

We would like to see you play this game live, Cody.

"Work but fun" 👍

There is a variant on Tabletop Simulator called Eylau 1807 Solitaire which I personally prefer over Waterloo Solitaire.

ever heard of that French soldier that was hit by a cannonball? His name was Napoleon Blownapart

Nice review as usual, Cody! I was thinking about getting this game but I was somehow put off by the poor proof-reading. "La Haye Saint" is rather irritating to see (and the error carries over in the cards) and, given the fact that the player stares most of the time at the map during the game... Also, less important but another evidence that WG doesn't double check their texts too often, is point #4 of the Sequence of Play: "Play the selected card action and any BOT action affects". I'm not an English native speaker but I guess that should read "effects"... unless they wanted to suggest that even BOTs can feel emotions.

Is it discriminating to like everything?

1st!…one of the few solos I enjoy. Resist! is best so far for me.

I just saw Napoleon I hated it. Joaquin Phoenix I thought was awful and so was Wellington. I thought Armand Assante was one of the best Napoleons to play the role in the TV nini series Napoleon and Josephine: A Love Story with Jacqueline Bisset I thought it was acted better the story line was better.

It would have been interesting if you played the game.

I totally disagree the evaluation given this game. First off, there is just about no way the French can win. given the fact that one rarely get to roll 1 or less needed to kill off 2 allies, especially with all the modifiers involved. Secondly, the difficult levels are about the same with one or 2 exceptions. Does not make for any significance on the game as a whole. The rules are rather confusing regarding reserves. What to do with reserves moving into reinforcement boxes. No mention of reinforcements. Simple game play but confusing rules here and there plus predictable outcome makes this game a waste of money.

Please get on with it. You are simply not that funny
