Scourge of War: Waterloo expansion takes you to Quatre Bras

Last year's Scourge of War: Waterloo almost literally put you in the shoes of Napoleon or Wellington at the titular battle, giving you real-time control of the battlefield. Considering the warm reception it received, not to mention Napoleon's extensive portfolio, it was inevitable that the Scourge of War series would tackle Napoleonics a bit more. That was confirmed this morning when a new expansion for Scourge of War: Waterloo was announced, Scourge of War: Quatre Bras.

This expansion will take you to the Battle of Quatre Bras with a highly detailed and accurate 25 square mile map of the area. Apart from bringing you an entirely new battle, it will also be chocked full of other goodies:

Extensively researched Order of Battle

Historical 5 mile x 5 mile battlefield map

Five scenarios covering critical actions during the battle.

Exclusive new loading screen art from Mitchell Nolte: “The 79th Highlanders”
