Bataille Empire @ Roll Call
At Roll Call 2020 we will feature the first event for the new mass-battle Napoleonic rules from Herve Caille:
This Napoleonic tournament will use the current Bataille Empire rules, including any clarifications/amendments published prior to the event. The optional rules will not be used.
Umpire : Julian Lopez
Games : Four games of 3 hours maximum, two on Saturday and two on Sunday.
Theme : All armies of 1813. Any allied contingents should also be valid in that year.
Lists : 200 points maximum. To avoid « bleu » on « bleu » games, the tournament will have equal numbers of French (or subject/allied nations) & Allied players.
Figure Scale: ideally 15mm-18mm figures, but 6mm or 10mm figures can also be accommodated
Basing: base width can be 30mm to 40mm (but should be consistent within your army) as per the rules. Please contact the umpire if you have questions on basing, or wish to use other frontages and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Movement and ranges: 1MU = 30mm (This is not affected by the unit base width you have chosen for your army).
Players will describe troop types during deployment. Figures should be as accurate as possible. The umpire can lend figures and armies to those interested in participating.
Lists to be submitted to the umpire by 15th March 2020:
Tables: Games will take place on a (roughly) 1.2m x 80cm tables. All terrain will be set-up by the umpire.
Points: At the end of each game, players will count their victory points as described on page 82 of the rulebook.
Extra Rules:
Teams: Players will be grouped into French and an Allied team. Each team will then argue amongst themselves / draw lots to designate a Commander in Chief. This will in turn determine initiative and table choices
Table designation:
From the second game onwards, the C-in-C of the team with the fewest points automatically has the initiative.
The only restriction for both C-in-C is that no two players can play each other twice and (at least initially) no player should play twice on the same table.
Team objectives: Once all players have been allocated a table, each C-in-C will designate in writing which table is the team objective and hand over the order to the umpire. It is up to the C-in-C whether he wants to reveal the objective to one or more of his team. If a player wins on his team’s objective table, his points will count double for the team points only. No table can be designated twice as the team objective. The same player cannot play twice on his team’s objective table.
Team Points: The scores of all the players of a team will be added together to calculate the team score and the winning team.
An individual score will also be kept for each player to designate the best French & Allied player and overall winner.

Extra Rules:
Teams: Players will be grouped into French and an Allied team. Each team will then argue amongst themselves / draw lots to designate a Commander in Chief. This will in turn determine initiative and table choices
Table designation:
- For the first game, both C-in-C's will throw a 1D6 without modifiers to determine initiative.
- The C-in-C with the initiative chooses one of the players in his team (including himself), the table he will play on and which side of the table to start from.
- The opposing C-in-C then selects a player from his team (including himself) to play on that table.
- For the next table, the roles are reversed and it is the C-in-C without the initiative who chooses the table…etc.
From the second game onwards, the C-in-C of the team with the fewest points automatically has the initiative.
The only restriction for both C-in-C is that no two players can play each other twice and (at least initially) no player should play twice on the same table.
Team objectives: Once all players have been allocated a table, each C-in-C will designate in writing which table is the team objective and hand over the order to the umpire.
