The Dutch and Belgian contingents of the Waterloo campaign formed a third of the allied army, making the regiments vital to Wellington’s success. The Iron Duke was uncertain of their fighting qualities at first as many of the soldiers in the regiments had been serving in La Grand Armée under the Corsican ogre, Bonaparte, just a year or so before! Wellington need not have feared as the Dutch and Belgian infantry broadly held firm despite massive attacks from the French columns, including repulsing an Old Guard attack at the end of a long and bloody day. Box contains 24 Warlord Resin Belgian Line Infantry miniatures (includes command group of officer, drummer, ensign and NCO), full-colour flag sheet and plastic bases. Although we know that it is unlikely Dutch and Belgian troops would have carried colours at Waterloo, we have included a full-colour flag sheet as we know wargamers love to see their units literally flying the flag.
