'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.
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.
It looks like yesterday when I decided to group all C&C website under a single web domain (commandsandcolors.net)... but a full year has passed!
A single domain has the great benefit to ask for a single renewal so I'm here asking for your contribution to keep this website free, updated and without annoying ads!
Feel free to contribute in every way you decide using the PAYPAL icon on the top-right corner.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely
Alessandro
I'm cross posting this message on all other C&C website.
This is a compilation document created using sources from C&C Napoleonics website that puts all rules and a few clarifications not in the main rulebooks into a handy reference. I hope you will find usefulness in it.
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.
Michael Dippel released a new version of his unofficial module containing modified card deck for both Epic and Breakthrough scenarios (thanks to Chris Roper for producing the cards).
Read more to find some previews (map and cards) and also direct download link.
The Epic module is a “Stand-Alone” module (similar the CCA Epic module) with all base terrain and units. In the fanscenario extension you will find all additional winter and desert maps/terrain, special units and all setups of the existing special map size fan scenarios.
after collecting a lot of stats in the past year about scenario playing, I've decided to publish a new webpage grouping them all. You will find the Statiscs HERE.
You can also reach them clicking MAPS section (on top of the page).
I hope you enjoy these ones!
Thank you for your contribution (stats submission) and don't hesitate to suggest even more on the Forum.
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.

Another Year is passing by and we can turn back to see the path we followed: 2008 - launched www.CCAncients.net website 2011 - launched www.CCNapoleonics.net website 2013 - launched www.CCSamuraiBattles.net website
Right now these websites are full with every available expansion (as to say units, scenarios, rules, faqs, online game modules). We have 564 scenarios on CCA, 107 scenarios on CCN, 20 scenarios on CCS. In the past months I've also tried to cut off some of the continuous "spam attempts" and sadly I have unwittingly created login problem to some of you... I've also managed to resolve them but I'll take this opportunity to apologize with you. Sometimes my intervention is timely, sometimes not so timely. So again, I want to Thank You for your patience.
In order to keep these three webistes online and running I'm here to ask for an effort to all users with whom I shared so far this wonderful adventure that I hope will continue for a long time. Those who wish, without any obligation, could use PAYPAL form (available on right pane) and make its personal contribution.
Take care and have some nice Christmas Holidays! Alessandro
A couple of lines to really thanks Michael Dippel and Larry Doherty who contributed again this year!
I'm taking this opportunity also to introduce you the new "CCN Support Banners": they are available for each year now for all, who supports the website with a gift at least of 5 € (each year).
He submitted 4 scenarios: Battles of Brandywine Creek, Germantown and Monmouth from the Philadelphia campaign of 1777-1778 in the American War of Independence.
in the past months I've been a little busy so I slowed down C&C website updates... but finally I've spared some time to update Units and Terrains Sections.
You'll find them in the <-- Right menu under "Rules Menu".
In both sections I've updated values from Spanish, Russian and Austrian expansions.
Sorry for the delay...
Please report errors in the forum if you find any.
During this year I've managed to create C&C BattleCry website, to stand among other C&C websites.
Over there you could find scenarios, rules, faqs and Vassal game modules all updated to latest version/revision/expansion.
Sometimes my intervention is timely, sometimes not so timely. So I want to personally Thank You for your patience.
