This is based on maps in the book “1815, The Waterloo Campaign, Wellington, his German Allies and the battle of Lingy and Quatre Bras” by Peter Hofschroer, they are not to be taken as exact replicas of the real battlefields.



This is a “fictional” battlefield as in 1815 the Prussians only held this area with small outposts and patrols which fell back before the French advance. The main feature is the river running across the battlefield with Charleroi in the centre. From the river there are two smaller streams branching off into the defenders side. There are several crossing places over the rivers and streams but with lots of high ground for the defenders to take advantage of this will be a hard attackers map. There are many area’s where the ground is flatter with many large grassy fields. There are some tickly wooded area’s near the rivers and streams, which make it difficult to move and observe the enemy troops.
