Well Waterloo 1815

Well me hearties, here we are in a squall aftermath, sitting becalmed now off the coast of a France, waiting for news from the French attempt to seize Brussels. 


Meanwhile amazing news - an impossibly small troupe of grenadiers was sent to block the immortal Imperial guards of Napoleon at a farmhouse on a road to Bruxelles. Holding it there at La Haye mais Sainte we believe while taking many hits and much loss even of life. Old Boney is losing patience and getting old too, and throwing in even his artillery and heavy cavalry, but the London company of proud grenadiers are doing a grand job begob lads. Methinks we are stopping the French advance at last at last. Bruxelles soon to be free.

Here's a pic boyos -


Epic stuff - in the pic a Gb grenadier is finishing off a drunk Frenchman, drunk with a victory he thought was already in the bag and an easy run of it.
