Join us for an exciting livestream as we do a teach-and-play session of Waterloo 200 with designer and publisher Emanuele Santandrea of VentoNuovo Games. Alongside us is special guest Riccardo Masini, wargame historian and host of the popular YouTube channel Wlog. Together, we will dive into this innovative block wargame that recreates the iconic 1815 Battle of Waterloo.
Waterloo 200 is a visually stunning game, featuring artisanal Italian craftsmanship with over 200 wooden and plastic components and a beautifully designed 86x64 cm mapboard. With easy-to-learn rules but added depth from 10 optional rules, this game allows players to relive and potentially reshape the course of history as they control either Napoleon’s Armée du Nord or the Coalition forces led by Wellington. Whether you're a history buff or a wargame enthusiast, this stream will provide a thorough introduction to the game’s mechanics, along with engaging gameplay commentary. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn directly from the creator and experience the drama of one of history's most (or least?) decisive battles!

Rules note: only a player with initiative can restore the tactical values of its Tactical Leaders, connected via LOC to the general in its HQ space, in the reorganisation phase, and only up to the strategic value of its general.
