Waterloo (1962)

The classic Avalon Hill game.

From the box:

Refight the last great campaign of Napoleon, in this fast-moving game of military strategy. Over 160 die-cut counters representing the massed armies of France, Prussia, and the Dutch Anglo-Allies maneuver and engage in combat on a full-color, 22" x 28" mapboard.

Avalon Hill Complexity rating - 2

Waterloo (1962) Revised 1978
Designed by INVALID OBJECT ID=7095, type=person

The second of the "classics" which still survives to this day. Originally sold for $4.98. The revision in 1978 affected only the rules and was restricted to play balance and clarity problems. The game has been long lived despite poor sales--it still being far removed from the 100,000+ club.
