"situational" effects reflecting the unit's position with respect to both friends and enemies. If no enemy units' ZOC extend into the flank or rear hexes of a unit's own zone of control, there is a morale bonus. If, however, enemy units occupy such flank or rear hexes, the flank has been turned and there is a morale penalty. If enemy "frontal" zones of control reach into flank or rear hexes, that flank is turned unless friendly units or the "frontal" ZOCs of other friendly units are also present in that hex. Corps and higher HQ units, which play such a crucial role in morale. and therefore survival of combat units, normally cannot be eliminated from play. They never "break" in combat. They retreat along with other units. If exposed unprotected to enemy zones of control (they have none themselves), they simply move to the nearest friendly combat unit. However, if all units stacked with a HQ are subject to a "B" result (an automatic Break), roll the dice. A roll of "2" or "12" means that the HQ is overrun and eliminated from play. It may not attempt to rally those or any other units before removal. game. To play the full five-day campaign from start to finish, simply combine the rules above with the following Campaign Order of Battle. The game then extends from 7AM on June 15th through 5PM on June 20th. [OPTIONAL: Allied Advanrage-Since evening fighting occurred throughout this campaign, add a 7PM turn to each day. Any PAA reinforcements schedules for arrival at 7AM the following morn- ing may arrive in the preceding 7PM instead. This rule also may be used in any of the three scenarios for the game using these rules.] All together, there should be enough grist in this article to keep all the "Old Guard" of WATERLOO fans out there busy for years. Doubtless there will be comments on my new rules, and on the scenarios and mini-scenarios themselves. Other mini-scenarios could be devised, for the battles of Wavre and Ligny for example. So, if you've that old WATERLOO game in a closet, go get it out again and see what you can make of all this. If by some bad luck, you don 't own the eame. I ho~e that these articles have stimulated your wargaming appetite so that you rush PLAYING THE FULL CAMPAIGN right out and buy it today. You won't be sorry, of that I am certain. This third scenario, "Napoleon and the Iron Duke", completes the series on the WATERLOO fi Boviets nvade lran!
