If You Were Napoleon

The final day of the Hundred Days after the escape from Elba. Wellington's allied army holds the Mont-Saint-Jean ridge; Blücher's Prussians close from the east. Last night's storm has turned the field to mud. You know only what Napoleon knew — scout reports, staff voices, Grouchy's silence. After five decisions, your command style is matched to a real commander archetype — Napoleon, Wellington, Blücher, and others.

Briefings, Napoleon's actual decisions, and shadow outcomes are grounded in Wellington's Despatches, Houssaye (1898), Chandler (1966), Roberts (2014), and Barbero (2003). There is no right answer — the game only mirrors what kind of hand yours is.
