Fight larger battles with more units!

Epic Napoleonics is actually two game systems in one - the Epic Battles system, and the La Grande Battles system. Although the scope of the Napoleonic game has changed size wise, the historical feel and the basic rules of play remain the same for the most part. To experience the maximum enjoyment with these two new Napoleonic game formats, both Epic Napoleonics and La Grande Battles scenarios are best played using the Command card and Tactician card decks from the Generals, Marshals & Tacticians expansion.

Epic Napoleonics
Knowing that it is not always easy to muster eight players, the Epic Napoleonic game is set up to play by just two players. Or if players so desire, the Epic game, can be expanded to include four and even six players.

In an Epic Napoleonics game, one player on each side assumes the role of the Commander In Chief (CIC). Each CIC has a hand of Command cards and on a turn must play one card from his hand to order units in one section of the Epic battlefield. The CIC must select one card from the Courier rack to play. The card selected from the Courier rack will also order units in one section of the Epic battlefield. There are only three sections in the Epic battlefield (left, center and right) and with two Command cards played each turn, the action quickly becomes very fast and furious.

The Courier rack is a new game mechanic, and starts each battle with five Command cards that are visible to both players. Each turn one card is taken from the rack, so the choice of cards a player has each turn is reduced, until there are only two cards remaining on the rack. The rack is then filled back to five cards before the next player’s turn, and the card selection process from the Courier rack will start again.

La Grande Battles
A La Grande Battle game is best played with eight players. Four players will take command on each side. One player, on each side, will again assume the role of the CIC. The other three players will each take on the role of a Corps field commander. Each Corps field commander will command two sections (2 left or 2 center or 2 right) of the six sections that make up the La Grande Battles battlefield. In a La Grande Battles game, each CIC has a hand of Command cards and on a turn must give one card from his hand to one of his Corps commanders. The CIC must select one card from the Courier rack and give it to one of his Corps commanders. Section cards, that state left, must be given to the left Corps commander, center section cards to the center Corps commander and right section cards to the right Corps commander. Tactic Command cards can be given to any Corps commanders.

Each Corps field commander also has his own hand of Command cards. During a turn when the Corps commander does not receive a Command card from the CIC, he may choose to play one of his Command cards from his hand. If the Corps commander does not like the Command card given to him by the CIC, he can discard it and instead play one of the Command cards from his hand.

Note: You need a copy of the Commands & Colors Napoleonic game and its expansions (Spanish, Russian, Austrian, Prussian and Generals, Marshals & Tacticians). The Epic Napoleonic expansion only provides enough units and terrain to fill any gaps. A second base game box will also be helpful for a few scenarios.
