GG03 Waterloo Epic (18 June 1815)

Played yesterday and it was super super tight. 15-14 for the French that started aggressively attacking the center to take the central farm.
The Prussians didn't come (3 flags in a row rolled lol).
Very well designed and balanced. Lot of fun!

TY everyone to enjoy the scenario.
Check the recent changes allowing the Prussians to retreat to the right and the option rule with no Prussian for new players on the French side.

Attention > If here all my scenarios are up to date (to be played live), this is not the case on Vassal where only my standard scenarios are updated (no webmaster follows the large formats on Vassal currently).

We have played a lot of epic over the years. Tried this for first time yesterday.
After 9 turns score is 5-4 for allies.
However we are confused with Prussian entry rules.
I am all aides and have rolled dice 9 times for nine turns. Only 2 flags rolled which seems normal.
Does this mean that so far Prussian’s are delayed a further 7 turns (9 turns minus 2 flags=7)
So ever of all rolls are now flags, the earliest the Prussian's can arrive is turn 16? At this rate they will never arrive.
Are we doing it right? Rolling a flag is a 1-6 chance.
Otherwise we like this scenario and will post a final report at the end.

played this for first time yesterday with my regular Epic partner Bill.
After 9 turns score is 5-4 allies.
We are confused about timing of Prussian's arriving and wanted check if we have understood the rule correctly.
As the allies I have rolled the dice 9 times so far. 2 flags rolled.
This results in 7 turns being added to the timing (9 rolls - 2 flags)
Even if all flags are rolled from now on this seems to indicate that the earliest they can arrive is turn 14 - is this correct?
If yes then given a flag roll is a one in six chance then at this rate they will never arrive, unless we have misunderstood the rule.
That aside enjoying trying it out and will post a report when finished.
Can somebody clarify for us please.
best wishes for more Epic success

Hello,
First thanks to play my scenario.
As far as I understand (sorry for my english) your situation:
If during the previous Allie rolls you rolled twice a flag > The arrival of the first Prussian reinforcement had been deleted twice so they arrive AT THE START of the 9th allied turn!
Then the allies keep on rolling the dice at the start of the following turns for the second arrival that may occur 2 turns later (so now at the start of the 11th) or later if you roll flags again!
Enjoy!

A battle report….
