William Siborne was in possession of a number of eyewitness accounts from generals, such as Uxbridge, down to cavalry cornets and infantry ensigns. This makes his history particularly useful (though only from the British and KGL perspective); some of these eyewitness letters were later published by his son, a British Major General (H. T. Siborne). Parts of William Siborne's account were, and are, highly controversial. The very negative light shed by Siborne on the conduct of the Dutch–Belgian troops during the battle, which it should be said was a reasonably accurate reflection of the opinions of his British informants, prompted a semi-official rebuttal by Dutch historian Captain Willem Jan Knoop in his "Beschouwingen over Siborne's Geschiedenis van den oorlog van 1815 in Frankrijk en de Nederlanden" en wederlegging van de in dat werk voorkomende beschuldigingen tegen het Nederlandsche leger. Breda 1846; 2nd printing 1847. Knoop based his rebuttal on the official Dutch after-battle reports, drawn up within days of the battle, not on twenty-year-old recollections of veterans, as Siborne did. Siborne rejected the rebuttal. It’s no small task clipping the models from their frames and plugging them into their bases, but there are 16 frames worth of figures from the two sets to prep, so that’s no surprise. The Warlord guys had the welcome task of doing that for us – all Andy and Steve had to do was decant their forces onto the tabletop. As well as the resplendent red and blue infantry, cavalry, commanders, and artillery, we had also been provided with scenery in the form of N-Gauge trees and the Sarissa Precision made (and expertly painted) MDF buildings that accompany the Waterloo Campaign range.

And that’s the gamer Warlord is targeting. Space games bring younger generations into tabletop gaming. Historical games try to attract those gamers as they look to expand their horizons. Every game company in the market is trying to capture those gamers as they begin to look beyond space apocalypse games or the hot new licensed from popular movie franchises. Esdaile. Charles J.

That is, the 1st battalion of the 2nd Regiment. Among Prussian regiments, "F/12th" denoted the fusilier battalion of the 12th Regiment. Warlord is good at finding the scales that work for their casting process, and still delivers good detail in their figures. And the price point for one of the starter boxes is very approachable for a hobbyist looking to move from 30mm heroic-scale space greenskins into the world of historical gaming.
