#waterlooreplayed@WaterlooReplay Our brave cavalry are in the garden of Hougoument, seizing it back from the French who are mounting a forlorn hope of a defence!
The allied cavalry has entered the garden of Hougoumont. Our troopa are being attacked on their right flank. They are telling themselves that it is not looking good. #waterlooreplayed@WaterlooReplay
The French are deep in the British left rear cutting them off from the Prussians but the Allied reserves are preventing this from turning into a disaster. @WaterlooReplay#waterlooreplayed
