The Greatest Game - Waterloo Refought
My vlog from The Great Game - Waterloo Refought on the weekend of 15-16th June 2019. Huge thanks to organisers, judges, other players and university staff that made for an absolutely phenomenal, once in a lifetime experience! The event was run to benefit Waterloo Uncovered, a charity which helps ex service personnel and is well worth checking out! Sorry for the differing quality, I was switching between my camera and my phone. I'll be making a video with my tactical thoughts on the battle on what I learned and be uploading that as the usual video this weekend.
Apologies for the delay in getting the video out, it's taken over 9 hours to upload (I don't really know why, longer videos have taken less time!) And also, apologies for the shaky(er than normal) camera on the eagle pin badge, I was genuinely shaking due to the honour of being awarded it. I'll get a proper still in my video at the weekend.

The worsed mistake that any Generals could do is to attack Hougoumont head on ! I would never suggest to attack head on but rathr concentrating the houwizers on Hougoumont and flanking Hougoumont by dividing every faction and taking them down one after another...
Spot on with the French Cav. I was commanding La Haye Saint's KGL garrison opposite the Old Guard alongside those Dutch Carbineers and British Heavies.
Hey, I'm from the US and I always loved this type of stuff. I wish I was there!
Watching back over this again after almost 2 years, and it's ridiculous how often you can here me and Greg cheering the mulching of one of Josh's units
Yes, interesting and much appreciated coverage. Will await your final assessment.
A very impressive project and many thanks to you for putting together such an informative video.
Fabulous to see thanks. I used to do these massive games and they take a heck of a lot to organise but are awesome fun.
Omg omg omg thank you so much for this video!!!!!!!!
Quite a spectacle- excellent!
I really enjoyed your video, looks truly great.
Great vid good to see the action thanks for posting
Beautiful looking game!
Hi M8 as one of the Allied commanders on the far left Hanover 4th Inf Brig, we thought that the French would load your right side as every one knows you stay away from Hugomunt but you did not do which we were happy with. We then decided to do a dealing action and slowly fall back onto the Brussels road to stop you the French from going that way to which we succeeded. Yes you were on the back table but you were going nowhere you had a small corridor to work in but your rear flanks were getting cut off by the Prussians as were your lines of retreat. I also had to take on the Div CinC role as no one turned up to that role. But it was a good game enjoyable and some good opponents.
Did wargaming finally reach its ultimate goal on that table on that day? Fantastic video.
Ah you are an old King-go, well done.
awesome! wish i'd been there
