Core rules

Essential rules you need to know to play Epic.

It is the purest folly to believe that an individual can save Armageddon. Wars are not won by heroes, they are won by firepower and force, and the application of strategy and tactics.

The core rules for the Epic game system explain essential definitions and game mechanics. To keep things simple, the core rules sections focus on relatively simple weapons, infantry and armoured vehicles.

Other sections cover extra rules and exceptions for more powerful or complex weapons and units. Where appropriate, you'll find convenient cross-references to some of these extra rules but you can ignore them if you're not using them.
