Notes: The Anglo-Allied army includes that
part of Hill’s II Corps detached as a flank guard, but not the Hanoverian
Reserve Corps and the British siege artillery, which were both far to the rear.
The Prussian army includes only those units that had arrived in the theatre in
time to fight. If all 4 Prussian Corps had concentrated, they would have
amounted to about 425AP. The full French army if concentrated against a single
opponent amounts to about 580AP. The French troops engaged at Quatre Bras come
to about 130AP, plus 70AP of D’Erlon’s I Corps if Napoleon does not countermand
their march, against Orange’s I Corps of about 100AP, later reinforced by
Wellington’s Reserve Corps of 120AP. The French troops at Ligny total about
320AP against an approximately equal value of Prussians. The French troops at
Waterloo come to about 430AP, and were opposed by 365AP of British, plus 330AP
of arriving Prussians. Wavre was a rearguard action by a single Prussian Corps
of 95AP in a strong position against Grouchy’s 160AP arriving off the march.
These all provide a good balance of forces taking into account delayed arrival.
If Napoleon is not present, Ney or Grouchy ceases to be subordinate and
commands all French forces present.
