MD14 - Waterloo - Epic (18 June 1815)

Until we have the official Epic rules, i played so far with the CCA epic rules, 3 sections.

I use these rules
www.commandsandcolors.net/napoleonics/fo...epic-cards.html#2427

However, they were written for the 70 card deck, and to use the 90 card deck and Tactics cards would require some revision.
Given that the official EPIC rules are now on the horizon, it would be better in my view to wait for their release rather than have multiple EPIC variants.

ich habe ein fragen bitte. where did you get those nice soldier cards? the illustrations used in that battle for blocks? and where was this magical place?

If you mean the paper soldiers,
there are different sources

1) none costs material from
www.juniorgeneral.org/index.php/figure/f...eList/19thcentury#22

2) professional paper soldiers
paperbattles.com/#

3) another professional paper soldiers (and buildings)
paperterrain.mybisi.com/products/napoleonic-soldiers-waterloo

4) and some cartoon style miniatures

I wonder about 2 Victory Banners for Hougomont and La Haye Sainte? Did you try this in play testing and were there problems with balance?

At last it´s indifferent, if you want get 2VP for those objectives, do it.
But if you have (dependent of the cards, dice and luck) final the results, 2 banners are to much,
you would say "Are 1 banner not enough?"

You can also try, only to remove the "Turn start" condition from the 3 objective banners, so the french would get the banner immediately.

The balance of artillery and especially heavy cavalry appears to much in favour of the Allies? Not play tested yet so cannot comment on this but just based on the historical.

Just played for the first time yesterday with 8 people, I do not understand why Allied Right has only one leader, and everyone else has at least two. There are plenty of high-level leaders on that flank historically, one unlucky leader check and all leader cards are worthless for an entire flank. Where is Prince of Orange? Byng? In response to previous comment from Waterloo-Simon, we did not find there to be an issue re: Cav/Art imbalance, good options for both sides.
