The last of the Guard retreated headlong. A ripple of panic passed through the French lines as the astounding news spread: " La Garde recule. Sauve qui peut!" ("The Guard is retreating. Every man for himself!") Wellington now stood up in Copenhagen's stirrups and waved his hat in the air to signal a general advance. His army rushed forward from the lines and threw themselves upon the retreating French.

By the time Ponsonby died, the momentum had entirely returned in favour of the French. Milhaud's and Jaquinot's cavalrymen drove the Union Brigade from the valley. The result was very heavy losses for the British cavalry.

Van Zuylen report; he refers to himself as "the chief-of-staff" ( Bas & Wommersom 1909, pp.338–339(vol. 3)).

Wellington's cavalry, except for Sir John Vandeleur's and Sir Hussey Vivian's brigades on the far left, had all been committed to the fight, and had taken significant losses.

Warlord showed their ability to find scales for their models that were in between other popular scales. From the MTBs of Cruel seas, WWII planes in Blood Red Skies, to Victory at Sea, all the games fall between the predominant scales popular in other game systems or model manufacturers. This allows Warlord to produce product lines with more detail than the smaller scales, but not as table filling as the larger scales.

Visually, the overall appearance of the table is much closer to what a Napoleonic battlefield would have looked like. The dress of the light infantry regiments and that of the light companies of the rest of the line was very similar.
