So it is perfectly normal that the companies would move on and care very little. Would have been immensely easy if it were just TGAs and TXTs like in Paradox games, but here... I am pretty sure not even CA employees know very well their own engine structure! So I doubt they would add any other tool, surely not for free.
First, there is Scourge of War: Waterloo released in June for the event, and I am sure it will be the most accurate and great Napoleonic period game from a corps-brigade level. Second... well "the world" may not care because it was a battle that some may retain won from the wrong side. Others may retain that the event itself is a blatant excuse for british glory worshipping (unjustly so, since the prussians dealt the only decisive blow). But well, 28.000 participants seem a fair amount of people to consider for the wannabe redcoats proud that french people were enslaved again under a Bourbon monarch.
