MD01 Salamanca EPIC (22 July 1812)

Well, because Chris did the cards now similar CCA epic,
i modified the rules, so it works now similar CCA epic also

Here the actual changes:

1. Play 1-3 section cards OR one Army card
2. Each section may get only a section card.
3. If a section card allows to order units in different section, the cards counts
then as 2 (FlankAttack) or 3 played cards (CoordinatedAttack).

4. After turn, you may draw 2 cards (observe hand limit)

5. If you play at least one Scout card, you may draw 3 cards and keep 2 (observe limit of hands)

6. Inspired Field General Play: The CiC may give one FG exact 2 same section cards of these cards in one section: Scout, Probe, Attack. That counts as 2 played cards, and he may still play another section card in another section.

7. If section cards (or a double action card is played as field) are played, field commanders, which get no card, are allowed to make a INI roll.
If CiC play a Army card, the FG are not allowed, to make INI rolls


Modified Tactic Cards:

First Strike: Player battles with FS with +1 dice
Assault: up to 6 units in section
Force March: up to 6 units in section

hi, i just played yesterday my first epic napoleonics, live in the board, not by vassal. What a game¡¡¡ 12-11 for british.

One think thats dislike me is the No limit of ELAN cards. Issue an order to 12 units is so much for the british side, when another turns you play Recon in Force. My Elan in the french side only gets 6 units (8 dies), because of the 2 o 3 infantry square and play 3 cards in a couple of turns.

How many squares you permit? 4 or more.
We played with only 70 COMMANDS CARDS (one copy of Basic)

Because the epic board is doubled, we allow also the double numbers of squares (,
but i my epic games, we had no more than 6 squares at once in one game

And we play also with 2 card decks (and we use special selfmade epic cards like in CCAncient).

one card deck for each side or 2 card decks all together + special selfmade epic= 70+70+selfmade) or another combination?
Can you explain me or put a list of cards, or a link to a pdf to print them.

Because i dont play via vassal is good to know how you play this way and do the same on the board.


-Elan card is not in Modified Tactic Cards, is allright?

Download and try my "Epic game module" from the download section here,
then you see my selfmade cards
And yes, we use 140 selfmade/modified cards together

Revised the first of my old epic scenarios to the new "La Grande Battle" style and rules.
Have fun

looks good, though I wonder if the original should be left as is, and a new MD01LGB scenario page be created.

The Plays for instance are misleading.

Should Marmont have 5 Command?

The new epic formats are different, so i have to consider, in which format i adapt it.

Because of rules, i prefer the epic (20x11) style, but the LGB size (26x11) would be easier to do, because there must be added only a edge row on each side.
So i will see, in which format i revise all my epic scenarios finally....
