I DID correct myself on the phoney part.
I was too pissed off at american pro-washington propaganda,
but both were overrated.

Also, the Prussians did do most of teh fighting in Waterloo.
The British did do some, but their role is greatly exaggerated, while the prussians are portrayed as arriving too late, when they arrived in time for most of the fighting. In fact, if not for the prussians, Wellington could have lost, but with the prussians, the allies were nearly invincible (on terms of strategic position, etc.)
