Design Notes
This extension is to be treated as an addition to the standard De Bellis Antiquitatis v. 2.2 rules with some additional troop types. The purpose is to extend play up until the 1700 time period with a minimum of alteration of how the original troop types in DBA v. 2.2 interact with each other. Four new troop types have been introduced: Pistols (Pi), Shot (Sh), Skirmishers (Sk), Guns (Gun) and Cannon (Can) I have followed most of the format suggested in the DBA Pike & Shot Extension. As a result the following conversions to 'standard' DBA were made: Kn = all Ln elements and Pi (F) Pi = Pi (S) and Pi (O) Cv = Cv, Pi (I), and all Si Cm = All Camels other than Cm (F) LCm = Cm (F) Sh = all Shot elements (S, O, F, I) Ax = Wb (I) Lit = WWg (I) Gun = Art (F, I, X) Can = Art (S,O) Format is compulsory troops first (Core Elements) and then followed by optional troops. All armies are to have 12 elements as in standard DBA. In order to simplify, all Bd are considered to be 4Bd and all Wb are considered to be 3Wb unless otherwise noted. I have gone ahead and added a brief description (as described the DBR books) of each unit type to add clarity, flavour and a guide as to what troops these actually represent. I have also included the equivalent DBA terrain type and aggression. The terrain types have been matched up as best as possible to fit in with the appropriate DBA equivalents. Littoral armies are so designated if they have enough naval elements to land an equivalent DBA full landing force of 4 elements. Each army list includes a generals bodyguard, which is the element that is denoted with a (g) in the Core force as well as a separate circular stand for the General himself. Throughout the course of the game, the general will be able to detach from his bodyguard element and attach to other elements, but he required to begin the game attached to the bodyguard element. The general figure is represented as a separate single figure on a 25mm round (1) stand. The figure is assumed to be mounted on horseback unless the army list is not capable of having any mounted elements (ex: Aztecs) in which case it would be a singular foot figure. Many thanks to Mr. Phil Barker for his DBR lists and DBA , and for the work of June, Jeppson & Chinnici on the DBA 2.0 Pike & Shot Extensions as well as the variable army lists, which have inspired me to take these to the next step. In an effort to minimize the confusion, here is a listing of all of the troop type in DBA-RRR Base width: 40mm if using 15mm scale figures Troop type KNIGHTS PISTOLS CAVALRY ELEPHANTS CAMELS LIGHT HORSE LIGHT CAMELS DRAGOONS PIKES BLADES SHOT WARBAND DBA-RRR Code Kn Pi Cv El Cm LH LCm Dr Pk Bd 3Bd Sh 4Wb Wb 5Wb Ax Bw Sk Hd Can Gun WWg Lit Base depth 30mm 30mm 30mm 40mm 30mm 30mm 30mm 40mm 15mm* 15mm 20mm 20mm 15mm 20mm 30mm 20mm 20mm 20mm 30mm 40mm 40mm 40mm 40mm Figures or models per base 3 4 3 1 3 2 2 4 (3 shooting figures + 1 mounted or figure holding horses) 4 4 3 4 4 3 5 3 3 or 4 2 7 1 model + 4 crew (suggested) 1 model + 2 crew (suggested) 1 model 1 model
