Commands & Colors: Napoleonics Expansion #7 – The Grand Battles is the seventh expansion for GMT's Commands & Colors: Napoleonics game system. It includes 10 Grand Battle scenarios and 10 EPIC scenarios.
The Grand Battles battlefield measures 11 hexes deep by 26 hexes wide, and the expansion includes two mounted Grand Battles map boards. The EPIC battlefield measures 11 hexes by 20 hexes, making it almost twice the size of the standard scenario battlefield.
The expansion also features two extended Grand Battles scenarios on a double-sided preprinted paper map: Waterloo (18 June 1815) and Borodino (7 September 1812). Both battlefields measure 11 hexes by 28 hexes and come with the terrain and unit deployments already printed. The Grand Battles rules included in this expansion have been slightly revised from those originally introduced in EPIC Napoleonics Expansion #6.
Players will find new units, including British Highlanders, Russian Guard Cuirassiers, and Austrian Militia Cavalry, together with the unit blocks and rules required to field them in battle. The expansion also introduces new rules for Iconic Commanders, recommended for all EPIC and Grand Battle scenarios.
To play the battles included in this expansion, players need the Commands & Colors: Napoleonics core game and the Spanish Army, Russian Army, Austrian Army, Prussian Army, Generals, Marshals & Tacticians, and EPIC Napoleonics expansions.
