Re: Next Project
Looks like it, but there were no brick roads at Waterloo that I am aware of.
I can make this march and I will make Georgia howl.

Yes, LHS, easily recognisable. The main north-south road from Brussels to the French border at Charleroi that ran past La Haye Sainte was paved, as was the Mont Saint Jean - Nivelles road that passed west of Hougoumont but all others were dirt tracks, including the one shown in this pic along the top of the ridge the Allied army occupied, but as Little Powell says its a WIP shot.
What I like about this is the softer tones of the colouring, its a much mistier palette of colours, subdued which works well.
Something more significant is this looks like a true-to-scale rendition of the farm, which implies a change in ground scale to the whole game and not a compressed one that SOW:Gettysburg uses. The slope of the ground implies the correct X to Y distance ratios as well and not the exaggerated heights SOW:G uses. This in itself if true is a major change.
Also Napoleonic warfare = fighting in buildings!
