La Haye Sainte Collection (Pre-Painted)

The French bringing up some guns now garrisoned La Haye Sainte. From this position they fired repeatedly into the 27th (Enniskillin) Regiment who were in Square and held their ground, the fire from these French guns was so heavy that after the battle that British battalion was said to be "lying dead in square". The French garrison's action then allowed the Old Guard to advance on into the Allied lines, when the tide turned again, the Old Guard were offered to surrender but refused preferring to be destroyed with honor. Now with the Prussians also arriving in ever greater numbers, this effectively was the end of the Battle of Waterloo in favor of the allies. Of the original 400 men who had been ordered to defend La Haye Sainte only 42 were still able to fight.

The set comes with some items that are only available in the collection, these are; an additional damaged barn roof, the courtyard walls with gate, the walls to the garden, a pond and a sandpit.
