Belgium Campaign 1815

[Jacquinot]

I play my battle to 16.00, im start second attack with d Erlon corps on left flank and send Reille corps between Hougoumon and La Haye Sainte with heavy cavalry support, at 16.00 Welington is beaten, Prussians too late!

just asking myself, may be the first corps had this particular deployment due to go through the artillery convoyes. Then they needed a little space to advance right away.

If they were behind the artillery, they needed to be concentrate before to start the march to the allies. And after no time due to the allies artillery to redeploye. Could be a solution for this particular formation.

Agree look at my post #170.

Yeah  sorry didn't notice it before. But our position coud explain why they used this formation.
If the battery was in the little munt (km 21) it was impossible for them to change the formation after that because they were already engaged by artillery.

What distance is the person in red?
I am rethink because there is not hidden point for french in the map.
Perhaps is also a problem of tall of figurines,there is also the flag.

What do you think to make a experiment , put a unit at the same distance of person in red for to see the difference of apparent distance?
may be interesting or not?
Sorry,now think that photos and vision in game are much different.

Exactly, its only one reason to use this formation.

But we cant simulate this formation in HW, like in WNLB game.

You can see the difference.

I am speaking of person in red.
I think that person in red seems at 500 mt.
I put french at 500 mt , to confront the photos and screnshoot.
It is the flag very high.

something wrong on your game screenshot

[Alfiere]

I use map with slope doubled.
With many roads to see better undulation of terrain.
View from opposite road of Belle Alliance.(english side)
Whitout deploy.

Look at my screens i think they looks most similar, what do you think?

Person in red 300 - 350m

[Alfiere]

Yes is true.

[Jacquinot]

I dont like this experements with double slops, if you remember experements of bibuoba in mods map. 

[Jacquinot]

person in red on foto maximum 350m

[Alfiere]

Yes , i create another map with double slope for experiment only to see if there a hidden point for french in the map.
Waterloo map is normal.
