Where it came from
Published in 1979 by Simulations Publications, Inc., Ney vs. Wellington: The Battle of Quatre Bras was designed by Redmond Simonsen as part of the Napoleon at War game series. The game focused on the tactical maneuvers of the June 1815 engagement, a critical precursor to the Battle of Waterloo, and was notable for its use of a distinct map board and counter-based system intended to simulate the logistical constraints of Napoleonic warfare.
The design reflected the rigorous, data-heavy approach that defined SPI during the late 1970s. Simonsen, who served as the company's art director and a frequent designer, utilized the game to highlight the precarious nature of Marshal Ney's command and the defensive resilience of the Anglo-Allied forces. While the game was well-regarded by the hobbyist community for its technical depth and historical fidelity, it was also emblematic of the steep learning curve associated with the complex wargames of that era.
