Does Epic Pike Shot have rules for Ottomans?
« on: 20 June 2024, 04:56:48 PM »
I have 6mm Imperialist and Ottoman armies which have not seen a game for many years, will Epic P&S be useable?

All are based on 40mm frontages.

They are selling miniatures for it but I dont think they currently have.

But they sneak peeked Polish Hussar for Epic release so they probably will.

The Epic P&S rule book is the same as the main version in terms of the core rules.  The difference comes in that the Epic version gives some guidance on how to use the Warlord Epic figures to form units, and the army lists are focused on only Thirty Years War and British Civil Wars (as these are the only Epic figures released).

For your 6mm collection on 40 mm frontages I would suggest you buy the regular rule book as this has lists for Ottomans, Poles and Imperials in it. When you form your units then you just need to aim to have (roughly) the same frontage for units on both sides. e.g. use 3 x 40mm bases to form a regular sized unit, 4  for a large and 2 for a small.

You may also chose to half the move / shooting distances etc. or use cm rather than inches.   

Both sets of P&S rules are really scale agnostic.  :D

Ah, I hadn't realised that the rules were basically the same. I have the main rulebook, time for some re-reading.

thanks

We have used the Ottoman and Polish lists in the core P&S rules to gin up Muscovite and Cossack armies using the stats for comparable troop types in the existing lists.
