Please don't be too extreme with this. It's fun to have Vandamme arrive. What about a 33 percent chance of arrival? I suggest that anything less than a 25 percent chance is too low. Thanks.
Agree 100%, it's a very nice to have chance that Grouchy arrive. Please don't touch this option!

I need help on how to attach a screenshot from one of my WL10 games. I've tried several times with no success.

For developers! I think it's too easy to beat Anglais chiens, because English troops have no orders to counter attack, I played this full scenario and I think only timely counter attack save Wellington's left flank. Need add orders to English counter attack.

Hi Jacquinot

There are quite a few things wrong with that scenario from the Allied point of view. I am guessing from the number of troops you have left as the French that you probably got Grouchy to help you. If you did he came in om the English flank which would have been impossible from where he really started the day. The Prussian force would have arrived with just 1 x Corps rather than the 3 they really had at Waterloo and that would have been 4 if Grouchy had not been fighting one of them at Wavre. The key British munition, Shrapnel, hardly does any damage and the objective points give too many opportunities to the French player. I am in the final stages of testing a modified version of the scenario that fixes most of these issues for the Allies and will make it quite tough for the French. Unfortunately it does require a bit of micro-management to make the munitions changes work so will not appeal to quite a few players.

Regards

Mike
No my friend, this traitor marquis de Grouchy don't led to my 30000 mans, and I broke Wellington forces and Bullov's corps without any help. If more Prussians arrive, I think it will be hard to stop them but possible, maybe it will be not win but draw, if you beat Wellington before Prussians arrive, Prussians too late. Napoleon was right when he said after he saw Prussians at horizon -"We still have 60 chances vs 40 to win"

Some browsers won't use the Attachments function here, Firefox for one. I suggest using Chrome or IE, I use Chrome for attachments and Firefox for most everything else.

When I save a Screenshot in my game, it saves as a bitmap image. Is this why it won't attach and appear in a post?

Don't know, I just always convert them to jpg which reduces their upload size. Still think it's a browser issue with you.

I'm using Chrome.

But I have converted the bmp file to jpg, so let's see now.

Carabiniers attack ! This is a good shot of the counterattack on the Prussian left flank as the Prussians attack westwards on the high road to La Belle Alliance.

To post a full image I must hit the Insert button, I see.

The attachment Carabiniers_2016-02-17.jpg is no longer available

The Prussian line runs away from the French infantry and fails to notice the Carabiniers preparing to charge their left flank!
