From the publishers:
This is the first part of a suite of programmes that will cover the Waterloo Campaign as a whole, from the concentration of the Armies astride the north eastern frontier of France, through to the Allied pursuit of Napoleon's defeated army to Paris.

DVD one comprises an introduction covering the political and strategic situation facing both Napoleon and the Allies, along with detail of the opposing armies and their deployment prior to the campaign's opening moves, which will then be followed by programmes on the twin battles of Quatre Bras and Ligny.

Included with each programme will be vignettes on an aspect of Napoleonic warfare; weapons, clothing and equipment and, of course battlefield tactics. The collection of programmes will be accompanied by detailed orders of battle, maps and battlefield tour notes. For the first time a Mini Guide will be included with each programme for downloading to most types of modern mobile phone or PDA. This will complement both the programme and the printable material for the battlefield visitor who likes to travel light.
