The dawn of the day of Waterloo brings only fear, discomfort and suffering. This is the first in the Waterloo episodes series. It covers * The feelings of the men and a most important breakfast. * Why Napoleon felt he was onto a sure thing. * The weather and terrain. * The reasons why Waterloo was chosen, and how it compares to some other historical battles. * The mental state of senior commanders. * Deployment, tactics, plans and confusion. * The last grand review of the Armee Du Nord. Waterloo can be a confusing battle, so maps are available on the website.
