Emperor of The Battlefield @ Britcon
The Napoleonic ruleset Emperor of the Battlefield returns to Britcon for the third year running.
These Napoleonic rules utilise the same simple and easy to use Control Test and Morale Test mechanisms as the well proven King of the Battlefield Eighteenth Century wargame rules.
Please do join us for a friendly gathering of like-minded wargamers.
- The scale of figures being used this weekend is 15/18mm.
- Each normal sized unit of infantry or cavalry has two 40x30mm stands.
- Large units have three stands.
- Artillery batteries are depicted by two 40x40mm gun stands plus two limber team stands.
- Generals are mounted on 40mm rounds, but other options will not be turned away. The quality of their staff can be shown by varying the number of figures or by stickers (provided).
Armies for this competition may be chosen from any European nation with forces representing historical organisations from the period 1792 to 1815. Please select your force from a maximum of 500pts using the percentages recommended in the Emperor of the Battlefield rules on page 64.
A minimum of five commanders must be chosen from your 500pts.
The Commander-in-Chief and at least two of the other generals must have staff of Random Quality. The intention is to see more varied forces on the table and to test competitor’s adaptability.
- An excel file will be made available to competitors to aid their choice.
You will choose the doctrine of your chosen force. As your troops will have been marching towards the enemy for the previous few days, the relative positions of your commands will be set before you see the battlefield. The tabletop terrain will be set up before your arrival to speed deployment. Each table will be different.
Equipment needed. These items will be available for competition use.
- A measuring stick marked in 40mm units.
- One blue d10, one white d8 and one red d6. I’m fussy and it keeps it simple.
- Casualty markers.
Timings
- On the Friday night from 18.30 onwards we will be staging some friendly "Q&A" participation games. This will be a good opportunity to answer your questions and to ensure we all have the same understanding of the Emperor of the Battlefield rules.
