I read a few posts and heard a few comments here and there that the Epic ACW black powder rules are a bit streamlined and simplified. Given that they are based upon Epic that seems logical, but may only be a rumor.

So, is the A5 booklet included in the starter set different? I assume that the measurements may be different for the larger scale, but are there any other changes?

Thanks for the info – my set hasn't arrived yet!

Hey Stalkey,
We play it about every other week.
Same rules.
The only difference we use is to half the movement
and firing distance and that is just a suggestion in the rules.
