Waterloo

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.

from The Avalon Hill Company History, 1980

Waterloo (1962) Revised 1978
Designed by Lindsley Schutz
Development by Tom Shaw
1978 Design by Bruno Sinigaglio
1978 Development by Don Greenwood

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.
