Not so much. The battle started at 4 PM 18 June, meaning it had no effect whatsoever on Waterloo and what happened at it. It was a battle that was supposed to happen and whether the Prussians won or lost would matter little to Blücher's general strategy, as the other two Corps of his army reached Waterloo.

It was, at best, a by-product of Waterloo. No waterloo would have meant no Wavre, but no Wavre would merely have resulted in a slightly different Waterloo with presumably the same outcome.

I was more refering to the fact that with Grouchy occupied in Wavre, Napoleon had 30.000 men less at Waterloo.

Winning. More like...

"Hey, Heinrich, I got a letter from Blücher saying we defeated Nappy yesterday at some place called Waterloo"
"Really? Hans, then what are we still doing here fighting them?"
"Good point. Call the retreat!"

Let's hope it won't go like Wavre last year where the French...lost...

so I fired an airsoft replica of the brown bess yesterday... around 430fps can hit a target quite a distance away. interesting for me.

I made an arrowhead as well, a few weeks back when I was in Aus.

lol, it was for the public, I wasn't there as a reenactor, I was there with my grandparents. they had it at a National Heritage Site of Canada., its called Fort Langley, built in 1827 and was the site for where the Proclamation of British Columbia was signed by the first governor in 1858. its called a fort but no military personnel ever was posted to there. just a little background on the fort for yall  ::)

'Twas grand. Although the rest of the day doing jack shit was boring. Got a smashing pic of the WW1 18 pounder firing though
