2023-03-06 C&C Napoleonics Reprints (P500)

As most of you know, GMT Games is out of stock on a LOT of C&C series games and modules. Here's some perspective and updated news from Tony Curtis, who manages both GMT Gmaes financials and production:

"We had to solve a puzzle: How to get many of the Commands and Colors games back in stock when wood costs have skyrocketed and P500 reprint orders (and thus available funds for the reprints) are lackluster. We know from dealers that there is demand for out-of-print C&C games, but it is not translating into reprint orders on our website. The short-term answer is that we have obtained favorable financing to assist in reprinting many of the C&C Napoleonics games plus C&C Medieval and C&C: Samurai Battles. Stand by for more news and for new/updated P500 listings in December. The ultimate size of the reprints will depend on all of you and your reprint orders because the loan will not cover large numbers of each." - Tony

'CCN Scenario Designer' and 'CCN Game Assistant', which together form the 'CCN Game Support' applications suite, are complimentary programs that are primarily intended to support face-to-face play of the 'Commands and Colors: Napoleonics' game system. They are not intended to be a substitute for the CCN Vassal module (and currently only run under MS Windows).

'CCN Scenario Designer' enables the creation and modification of game scenarios which can then be used within 'CCN Game Assistant' to keep track of, and record, progress of a game.

'CCN Game Assistant' also provides aids for game play (such as sequence of play guidance, line of sight and combat dice calculations). Both applications cater for all three of the gameboard sizes, and the 'CCN Scenario Designer' package includes all of the standard and expansion set scenarios.

The applications come with an extensive help facility.
More information on the applications and installation can be found in the following CCN forum thread:

I've recently been contact by one of Richard Borg playtesters (Steven Malecek) asking for permission to post his "solitaire rules".

Here they are, with his introduction:

I am one of Richard's playtesters for 20 years now, during the Flu Pandemic we have found it hard to play, I know there are solitaire rules out there that have been adapted from other games to use with C&C but I have come up with this simple set of solitaire rules. I have tested it over 60 games at least 5 times with each version and it works well even using Combat/Tactical Cards and in EPIC modes.

Welcome to a new scenario designer: Keith Barker!

This is a modified Quatre Bras scenario that has been inspired by William Barnes Wollen's painting of the battle: Black Watch at Bay.
To this end the French lancers have been added and one of Picton's units upgraded to GR to represent the highlanders. The crossroads was vital so now the French must capture it in order to win. Kellermann's Cuirassiers and Cooke's Foot Guards are no longer available at the start of the battle.

You can see his very first scenario here:

KB01 Alternative Quatre Bras (16 June 1815)

You can see all scenarios from Keith HERE.

Enjoy playing and thank you for sharing!

Welcome to all Commands & Colors: Napoleonics fans!!!

Some times ago I've read some thread over BGG talking about "missing CCNapoleonics.net" (after the satisfactions around CCAncients.net). I've thought about it and after receiving permissions directly from GMT Games I've decided to create the CCAncients.net "brother".

As previously suggested in BGG threads I've decided to keep them separate (so CCAncients.net users will have to register again over here, sorry!) but Ive kept most of the features like Downloads, Scenario Results, Forum, Rules, ecc... trying to improve them.

I'm completely open to add new features or better ones, so don't hesitate to write them down in the forum.

Hope you like and enjoy it as we all did on CCAncients.net website.
