		La Haye Sainte is a farmhouse at the foot of an escarpment on the Charleroi-Brussels road.
		The road leads from the La Belle Alliance, Napoleon's headquarters on the morning of the battle, through the centre of the French front line, to a cross roads on the ridge which is at the top of the escarpment and then on to Brussels.
		During the French retreat, La Haye Sainte was recaptured by the Allies, some time before 21:00 when Blücher met Wellington at La Belle Alliance.

		Whatever further encounter now takes place with the enemy is a new battle not a continuation of the old, and although it may be far from promising absolute success, still it is a fresh combat, and not merely a gathering up of the debris by the victor.
		The whole action of this pursuit is mainly tactical, and we only dwell upon it here in order to make plain the difference which through it may be produced in the effect of a victory.
		Such marches tell upon the pursuer as well as the pursued, and they are not advisable if the enemy's Army rallies itself upon another considerable one; if it has a distinguished General at its head, and if its destruction is not already well prepared.

		The centre charges "La Haie-Sainte" whilst the left wing, which had been much tried by the attack on Hougoumont, reforms and the right wing, leaving its position assaults the Papelotte farm.

		The NAW mapboard was adequate but compare that of the equivalent "La Belle Alliance", with its blue streams, green woods, tan-coloured elevations and discreetly numbered hexes.
		The units, too, are vastly improved: appropriately colour-coded, serving as a reminder of the assortment of differently-attired troops under Wellington; browns, greens, and shades of grey padding-out the "thin red line".
		As to the play, with nearly twice as many units on the board (99 as against 53), "La Belle Alliance" still flows very nicely.

		Castlereagh later said that the Alliance was a "piece of sublime mysticism and nonsense." Prussia and Austria claimed they went along with it, out of fear of Russian retaliation.
		Although the Alliance had no influence on matters, it did indicate to other countries that they had banded together against them, and it succeeded in temporarily crushing Europe's growing liberal movement.
