	Waterloo (c. 1900) by D.H. Parry
		La Haye Sainte was a farm, lying like Hougoumont in a hollow; it was on the Brussels road, and was built with barn and stabling round three sides of an oblong yard, the fourth side being a high white wall, with a gate and a piggery alongside the roadway.
		Ney stood in the road beyond La Haye Sainte watching Donzelot's attack on the farm, where the "Green Germans" were forced, after a struggle, out of the long orchard into the buildings, and simultaneously a mass of Cuirassiers tore past the Hougoumont side and rode at the ridge.
		Near La Haye Sainte they found a pretty French girl in hussar uniform, and the farm itself was encrusted with blood; tufts of hair adhered to the doorways, the yard presenting a sight never to be forgotten.

		The front line was dotted by several outposts: The farm of Ter la Haye, The village of papelotte, La Haye Sainte - a semi fortified farm, and The chateau of Hougoumount which Babs and Charles had visited earlier - and which was ruined in the battle I think ultimately costing Uxbridge's life.
		The farm La Haye Sainte and the chateau of Hougomount are the most well known buildings, of course, because they were most strategically important.
		La Belle Alliance was the farmhouse Napoleon set up his headquarters in, and while it was visible from the front line, it was not on it.

		The bulk of his forces were deployed to cover his centre, marked by a crossroads just to the north of La Haye Sainte, and right, where the ridge curved south towards the chateau and farm of Hougoumont.
		His left, towards Papelotte and La Haye, was less strongly defended, although Wellington hoped that the gap would be filled by Prussian troops, marching from the east under Marshal Blucher, as the day went on.
		Both La Haye Sainte and Hougoumont contained allied garrisons, partly to attract enemy attention but also to force the French to concentrate their main assault on the fairly narrow corridor between the two farms.

	The Battle of Waterloo
		There were five farms that were important to Wellington's defense: Hougoumont, in front of his right flank; La Haye Sainte, in front of his center; Papelotte and La Haye, situated next to each other in front of his left flank; and Frichermont, slightly to the left and forward of La Haye.
		La Haye Sainte was therefore Napoleon's initial primary objective; the final primary objective being Wellington's center itself.
		La Haye Sainte wasn't permanently taken by the French until after the cavalry charge had failed and the survivors had returned to the French lines.

		Hougoumont and La Haye Sainte appear to be in the correct positions both with regard to the armies and relative to each other. There are some good panning shots of the armies in position and the troops on both sides are deployed pretty much where they should be.
		Wellington's troops have their backs to the wood and are using the reverse slope, the French are deployed on either side of the road and the attacks on Hougoumont and Wellington’s left step off from the correct positions of II and I Corps respectively.
		We see Napoleon discussing his son with La Bedoyere (in a scene that may have been inspired by his reputed play-acting over the child’s portrait at Borodino) and we see Wellington cool as the proverbial cucumber and succinctly outlining his “plan” in response to Uxbridge’s concerned request.

		This, however, was the solitary success secured by the I. corps; for the left division failed to storm La Haye Sainte, which was most gallantly defended, and Picton's division met the remainder of D'Erlon's corps face to face, engaging them in a murderous infantry duel in which Picton fell.
		It was during this struggle that Lord Uxbridge launched two of his cavalry brigades on the enemy; and the " Union brigade " catching the French infantry unawares rode over them, broke them up, and drove them to the bottom of the slope with the loss of two eagles.
		But Lobau's heroic efforts had not been in vain; they had given his master time to make his last effort against Wellington; and when the Guard was beaten back the French troops holding Plancenoit kept free the Charleroi road, and prevented the Prussians from seizing Napoleon's line of retreat.

		The objective of the Allied army was to exploit the advantage of its easily defensible position to resist the French offensive for as long as possible and give von Blücher time to come to their aid.
		Hougoumont and La Haye-Sainte are two vital points to rely on, as the Allies' best chance of resisting the French offensive lies in the protection offered by their walls.
		In addition, the defensive positions of Hougoumont and La Haye-Sainte represent an important advantage, as even in the face of an enemy with a much larger force, a mere few men may put up fierce resistance and thus weaken the French army.

		In front of the right centre, and near the Nivelles road, we occupied the house and gardens of Hougoumont, which covered the return of that flank; and in front of the left centre we occupied the farm of La Haye Sainte.
		In one of these the enemy carried the farm house of La Haye Sainte, as the detachment of the light battalion of the German Legion, which occupied it, had expended all its ammunition; and the enemy occupied the only communication there was with them.
		The attack succeeded in every point: the enemy was forced from his positions on the heights, and fled in the utmost confusion, leaving behind him, as far as I could judge, 150 pieces of cannon, with their ammunition, which fell into our hands.

		While I agree with Mr Gibson's comments concerning Hougomont and La Haye Sainte, I am afraid I do not understand the reasoning behind his treatment of the La Haye Sainte position.
		In the basic rules, the 3-3 artillery unit is doubled to a defence value of 6.
		Mr Gibson's suggestion of putting the 14 unit in La Haye Sainte and tripling its value gives the French player odds of 4:1, 2 chances of destroying the unit, 2 of pushing it out and 2 of exchange.
