Commands & Colors: Napoleonics - EPIC Expansion (2nd Printing)

Manufacturer: GMT Games

Epic Napoleonics is the sixth expansion for GMT's Commands & Colors Napoleonics game system. EPIC Napoleonics allows for fighting 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 our Napoleonic game has changed size wise, the historical feel and the basic rules of play, for the most part, remain the same. 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 that were part of the Generals, Marshals and Tacticians expansion.

Knowing that it is not always easy to muster eight players, this game is set up to play very well by just two players. Or if players so desire, it can include 4 or even six or eight players. One player on each side assumes the role of 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. Also on the turn, the CIC must select one card from the Courier rack to play. the Courier rack is a new game mechanic.
