Details on the soon-to-be-shipped Prussian army expansion have been posted to ccnapoleonics.net. link Interestingly, the Game Contents describes the Prussian unit blocks as being medium gray; I was expecting black. A new game mechanic called "Iron Will" allows the Prussian player to spend a limited number of Iron Will counters to ignore flag results. Prussian line infantry units retreat 1 hex for the first flag result, and 2 hexes for each additional flag result. Prussian reserve infantry retreat 2 hexes per flag, and Prussian militia retreat 3 hexes per flag. I'm looking forward to receiving my copy of this new expansion. |

Thanks! Been waiting 2 years to see what color the blocks would be. I was hoping for black too. Oh well, grey isn't that bad. |

I have been waiting too. Looking forward to its final release |

The only thing left is Epic. I think that covers all the major powers now. |

I guess in dodgy light black might look too much like the dark blue of the French. For some reason I had it in my head the Prussians would be light blue, but I'm off by a war. Looking forward to Epic, but would also like something to add in the Ottomans or India, or War of 1812 at a tinier scale. India is a particular favourite of mine, at one time I doodled out some ideas for Assaye using what is currently available. |

The big battle way of playing C&C is epic, as is the ancient system, Jason. I am hoping there is an expansion for Bog Ass Battles, it would justify buying two sets of armies if I could figure out how to multiplayer this,,,,and figure out a way to make hexes. |

It'd be the Nap version of Epic C&C Ancients – link Basically double-sized boards and probably ways to have multiplayer games. I think the CCN version has a fancier name though if you're looking for discussion on it, "Marshalls" and something. |

I would definitely buy an Epic version of C&C Naps. A big multiplayer battle would be a blast. |

Is that Prussian Grey or Prussian Black? When they emerge from the forest on the return from Wavre it's hard to tell. |

We just play normal CCN multi-player, it seems to work OK. |

We just play normal CCN multi-player, it seems to work OK. We've done the same thing, we chose one of the larger scenarios and had 2 players per side. It was fun. |
