About the Game

Massive battles can now be played using Epic Combat! This expansion for Dawn of Battle Designer’s Edition provides all you need to create massive battles suitable for two teams of up to four players each, but still manageable by two stout warriors.

This expansion includes a second map that is placed side-by-side the existing map from your Dawn of Battle game, along with two more sets of counters, expanding the sizes of your armies to a massive scale.

To help manage your hordes, an upgraded command system has been created that employs a unique set of command action cards and courageous heroes to extend and maintain a general’s control of their army.

Also included are a requested set of errata counters and cards that correct issues found in early copies of the Designer’s Edition.

Epic sized scenarios included with this expansion:

Qarqar (Assyria vs Damascus, 853 BCE) Gaugamela (Macedonia vs Persia, 331 BCE) Sentinum (Romans vs Samnites, 295 BCE) Raphia (Selucids vs Egypt, 217 BCE) Pydna (Antigonids vs Romans, 168 BCE) Pharsalus (Populares vs Optimates, 48 BCE)

Guidelines are included that allow players to convert any of the dozens of scenarios available for Dawn of Battle to epic proportions.
