Napoleon's Last Gamble: Expansion Kit I – The Highway to Brussels

This Expansion Kit I requires the use of the game equipment for OSG’s Napoleon's Last Gamble: Battles of the Hundred Days. The Southern Expansion map is used for the Crossing of the Sambre. The Grand Campaign uses the Scenario Information for starting on June 15th (34.0), adding the Northern map Extension (35.0).

New Scenarios added:

• # 34.0 = CROSSING THE SAMBRE 15 June, 1815

Around 9 AM Prussian outposts fell back before elements of Reille’s II Corps and Domon’s horsemen. As Steinmetz retired on Gosseilles, Pirch was ordered to abandon the river line and concentrate on Gilly. Pajol’s Cavalry Corps followed-up, moving through Charleroi. Duhesme’s Young Guard took the place of the delayed III Corps. With the defection of General Bourmont, commander of IV Corps’s lead division, the ensuing chaos delayed Gerard’s marching columns. The limited number of bridges on the Sambre, with their steep and narrow approaches, caused great delays, even with the Prussians scrambling to get away. This scenario is a race against time, to see if the French player can get into a better position for the battles of the 16th.

• # 35.0 = THE GRAND CAMPAIGN GAME - Beyond Waterloo, 15-19 June, 1815

The Grand Campaign uses the Scenario Information for 15 June (34.0), except for the end dates and the additional special rules below. The Grand Campaign uses the Northern map Extension to extend the game through the 19th.
