"In a fatal blunder, Napoleon waited until mid-day to give the command to attack in order to let the ground dry."


Waterloo Lesson:
Next time you plan on over running your enemy, you might want to include some crewed gun carriages to return the cannon to your own lines, or, at the very least, have a designated group drop out of the charge and spike the guns.
Ney really screwed up on that one.
