Hougoumont [Command #11] ======================== Here are (counters in Command #14) two more Closed Gate/Barred Gate counters, to make it easier to keep track of all of those apertures at one time. Counters. What if the French had committed a battalion of the Middle Guard to the fight for the chateau? Here they are; incorporate them into play of the Variant Scenario. They constitute a separate formation, and as such cost the Frenchman one VP to obtain them (counters in Command #12).
