Battle of Quatre Bras was quite small, so the DLC has "only" 5 scenarios, from which 2 are the full battle from either side. The full battle once again contains some "what if" features, such as French I Corps arriving to support Ney if you're lucky (unlucky as Wellington). Being such a small battle, the scenarios are nice and compact, with easily controllable amount of troops under your command. I found myself using the full command of my units more than in the scenarios of Waterloo.The new map, that is once again historically spot on, does contain a small lake that proves to be a problem to the AI to handle: the troops don't go around the lake reliably, but try to cross it (submerged) very slowly, tiring themselves. So the AI needs some work to be more competent in this terrain.Otherwise the DLC is solid, with well researched backgrounds and shares all the features that make Scourge of War such a great wargame. My biggest gripe is the lack of a good and functional map view. NSD: please take a look at HistWar map and how it is used to provide good information and also command functions - including all the "fog of war" that will provide you with only information that you and your staff would know!Hopefully these smaller battles (Ligny and Wavre are next DLCs according to NorbSoftDev) will eventually be linked into a continuous campaign, where performance in each battle will carry on into the actual engagement in Waterloo, including the "what if" -elements. Otherwise the DLCs will only provide scenarios and maps, with honestly quite a high price.
