Standard-Size Game

Modules & Extensions for standard-size Commands & Colors: Napoleonics.

Version 5.0

Version 5.0 is a major update now in Beta testing. It is not backward compatible but runs separately from prior versions to avoid conflicts and ease transition to the new version; as a result, all module preferences are reset to default values. The module requires a JVM maximum heap size of at least 2048 Mb recommended; set this in Preferences (or Settings) - General after starting the module (restart to implement the change). Please review the module's Help menu for assistance to get the most out of the new version and to report any issues.

The new version brings a wealth of features to streamline and track game play including pre-configured scenarios, automated ordering, order & movement validation, full support during the combat process, single-press end turn and game stats! See change log for a detailed list.

Key known issues at Beta4 release:

Bonus attack not working - Cavalry unit may be set "No Battle" after a first combat. Workaround: drag an attack marker to the unit (Game Options - Game Markers) or press Ctrl+V on the Cavalry unit to reset it. This is also a general workaround if ever a unit is marked incorrectly, preventing an attack.

Leader Casualty Check may not prompt automatically Workaround: Roll for the check from the main toolbar and apply the result. Cancel any invalid combat assist results.

Cards already in hand won't play - affects v5 beta1 & beta2 games after a Refresh. To fix, refresh the game with the "trigger Global Hotkey" option.

Vassal issue #13167 may cause the module to present a user with no sides to choose when joining a game. Workaround: just press the finish button and you will be connected as an observer. Once joined, use the "exit door" button to switch to your desired side.

Known module issues will be worked on prior to the next release.

Version 4.1

Version 4.1 is a maintenance update to Version 4.0 to fix minor bugs. It includes generally only minor new features. v4.1.10 adds in-game Player Aids, improving mouseover ("hover text") functionality for units & terrain. See Change Log for full list of changes.

This release is NOT backwards compatible (except for viewing); all participants in a game should use the same Vassal and module version.

Acknowledgements: Thanks to bdgza for converting his C&C Scenario Chooser to work with Napoleonics and to AleCrespi for enabling commandsandcolors.net scenario data used by the tool.

Version 4 introduced many convenience features whilst remaining familiar to v3.4 users. New features include a revamped Toolbar, self-managing hand windows, intelligent combat markers and graphics in the chat log to display dice results and other information. Most fan scenarios are included. A tutorial aids new players and those familiar with earlier versions. The latest release and a change log is in the files section above.

Please post on the VASSAL module support forum to advise any issues.

Version 3.43

Version 3.4 is the classic Commands & Colors: Napoleonics module. Version 3.43 corrects two scenarios in v3.42 (River Coa & Czarnowo) and patches the card count feature for Vassal v3.6.12+ compatibility. Remains compatible with Extension v3.41.

Extension Version 3.41:

Provides most standard size fan scenarios published by designers on commandsandColors.net. Only compatible with Main Module version 3.4x


EPIC & La Grande Battle Games

Modules & Extensions for games on the EPIC Napoleonics & La Grande Battles Napoleonics size boards.

Epic Version 2.2

EPIC & La Grande Battles module; all Expansion 6 EPIC and La Grande Battle scenarios included. This version is not backwards compatible with the unofficial epic version nor the old epic fan extension.

Epic Extension Version 2.2: Epic fan scenarios. Requires Epic Main Module version 2.2.
