Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose -
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
Unlike the historical battle, in this re-fight of Waterloo the French open the game with a strong thrust down their right flank, focusing their attack on the village of Papelotte,leaving their left flank largely uncovered as far as the defending Allied troops in Hougomont could see...

Late in the day Prussian forces begin to arrive on the French right,between Papelotte and Plancenoit, in response the French deploy the Imperial Guard which assaults the advancing Prussian columns with repeated, effective cavalry attacks whilst their infantry deploys.
