MD14 - Waterloo - Epic (18 June 1815)

I tried loading this scenario using latest Vassal downloads but doesn't work for me. Rechecked all my file locations many times but can't figure it out.

Commands & Colors Epic Napoleonics version 1.21
- Extension Fansscenariosepic v1.21 loaded
- This game was saved with extension 'fansscenariosepic' loaded. You do not have this extension loaded. Place the file into the 'C:\Users\nekengren\Documents\Vassal\CCN\CCNapoEpic1.2_ext' folder to load it


My regular Napoleonics extension works fine so I think I understand the config needed here.

I plan on running this at an upcoming convention with my poker chip miniatures.

so to me, the error message indicates that the file
Fansscenariosepic.vmdx
is not in a folder location
C:\Users\nekengren\Documents\Vassal\CCN\CCNapoEpic1.2_ext\

I know you have checked this, but what else can the error message mean?
Maybe check the spelling of the folder name, that has tripped me up before.

If you have started the main epic version, install the fanextension with a rightclick on the "Command & Colors Epic Napoleonics" name (in the Module list) and use the
"add" option, then the extension should be installed right.

Your Folder should look similar this example





the Extension Folder must be in same Folder as the epic main module and must
named exact like the main module with the supplementary "_ext"

Hope this helps

thanks bayern.
i followed those instructions very carefully again.
same problem.
i have rechecked folder names and file names many times.
i find it very strange i am successful with the main CCN extension but NOT this epic extension.

Can you sent me a screenshot of your folder, in which the main Epic vassal module is?

Me and three other friends have tried this scenario on 2Vs2. Didn't have time to finish but it was quite fun.

I have some questions:

- When playing 2vs2, 3vs3 or 4vs4, how many infantry in square tracks should be used? We have played with one for each player but it seems that what would make most sense is to have one on each section (left, centre, right) of the game? As this tracks do not exist in Ancients, I don't know.

- When the prussians arrive, if some of their starting hexes are occupied by French units, are they still deployed if there is no room for them? I'm really curious about this one.

Thanks and looking forward to more epic scenarios, notably involving allied armies like austro-russians.

This epic version use the double basic game, so i have also doubled the theoretical possible squares up to 8.

And if the the prussian reinforcements, which could not placed in the termed hexes (because of french units),
may be placed to any adjacent hex.

Makes sense for the number of squares tracks, yes.

Good to know for the Prussians, and that's how we had intended to play it had they come... the allies were quite unlucky on this, seems like Blûcher was wandering in the countryside.

I'm thinking that the Prussians should retreat back the way they came from, and this would involve rotating the retreat path.

So I would add;
"Prussian units retreat towards the French Right corner (i.e. their retreat hexes are shifted 2 hexes clockwise for Allied units)."

I'm confused about how you play Army cards (as per the C&C:A EPIC deck. How do you play using the new, bigger deck from Generals & Marshals?
