Standard-Size Game
Modules & Extensions for standard-size Commands & Colors: Napoleonics.
Version 5
Version 5 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 2560 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! A tutorial is included supported by Youtube videos. Explore the module's Help menu for this and more.
NOTICE TO BETA USERS - Version 5.1 introduces "GMT standard" graphics and high-resolution cards which make the module incompatible with prior Version 5 releases. In addition, JVM Max Heap size should be increased to 2560 Mb. The module includes a new tutorial but at this time the videos are still based on the previous tutorial with the original graphics.
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 & Grand 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.
