Waterloo: Enemy Mistakes is a strategic wargame on the last battle of Napoleon in occasion of the bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo. The game recreates the clash between the British line-up (helped along by the Prussian army) and the French one. The players identify themselves with the Commanders of the armies; with two players, one leads the Duke of Wellington in opposition to Napoleon Bonaparte. To complete the main scenario there will be, eventually, a third player representing the field marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, leader of the Prussian army. The Game uses an overall mechanic of pushing counters over the board without them being placed on specific places in an organized grid.
