## Description
Quatre-Bras 1815: Last Eagles is the fourth title in the acclaimed Eagles of France series, diving deep into the complexity and tactical challenges of one of the most iconic battles of the Napoleonic Wars. Released in 2019, this game isn't content with merely re-enacting a historical event; it aims for a deep and immersive simulation, placing players at the heart of the confrontation between Wellington's and Ney's forces at Quatre-Bras.

On the fateful day, Wellington's Anglo-Allied army arrived at the last minute to halt Ney's advancing French troops. By the end of the day, the allied numerical superiority allowed for a decisive counter-attack. The game offers a variety of scenarios to explore this dynamic, from the historical recreation of the battle to intriguing 'what if' scenarios, such as the arrival of variable reinforcements (what if D'Erlon or Uxbridge had appeared?) or an early morning attack by Ney against an already prepared Wellington. This flexibility ensures high replayability and the chance to rewrite history!

One of the highlights of Quatre-Bras 1815: Last Eagles is its ability to link up with Ligny 1815: Last Eagles, providing a full campaign experience that simulates the interaction between both battles. Fog of war is a crucial element, with hidden units and reinforcements arriving at uncertain times, forcing players to make decisions under pressure and uncertainty, replicating the real tension of the battlefield. Prepare to ask: 'Where will the next French attack come from?' and 'When will my reinforcements finally arrive?'
