Using the latest version DBA 3.0 players can fight battles from the Spanish Succession to the overseas
conflicts prior to the Indian Mutiny. This includes a core set of rules with amendments for the Seven Years
War, the Napoleonic Era and Early Colonial battles and Army Lists. You do need DBA 3.0 to use.

Note, columns were used to maneuver formations therefore are not assault columns. Irregular armies may
substitute firearms for bow, but these use the same factors. Warriors specified to fight like warband
(Wb) benefit from rear support fighting enemy foot and these are noted for certain army lists. This
differs from fast Horde (5Hd) which do not give rear support and require extra movement cost.
The above options are useful for re-fighting the French and Indian War, British wars in India, and other
Asian conflicts. To compensate for the massive fire power of European forces meeting native armies we
recommend giving Native armies a 5:3 or 3:2 advantage in number of elements. We find this works well as
does three native commands against two European if using the big battle option.
Having extra elements may seem an advantage, but having one General for 14 or 18 elements would
demonstrate quickly a breakdown of command and control.

Fought and moved as open order cavalry, but do not make frontal charges of heavier horse or formed

Light Infantry
Light infantry, Prussian Fusilier, Russian Jaeger battalions (4/base) may substitute 2 elements of
skirmishers (fast) at the beginning of a game. Which can are specified in the army lists.
Landwehr, Opolochenie
Landwehr, Opolochenie are Conscript troops. These differ in that they may form assault columns and solid
square with Line Infantry.
Assault Column
Two or more Grenadier, Line Infantry or Conscript may form an assault column. Supporting rear element
adds +1 for combat. Columns pursue BW if enemy recoil, flee or is destroyed.
Square Formation
Hollow or Solid square are made by solid troops in good going and stationary during their movement phase.
It costs +1 for each element to form a hollow square. In square, moves are 1BW, shooting is reduced by 2
but may be from any side and in combat troops add +2 to their basic factor against mounted and 0 against
foot. Solid troops in column, stationary and in good going may form solid square at no cost. Shooting and
combat are the same as for hollow, but no movement is permitted. Leaving a solid square to make a tactical
move costs an additional +1. Use a marker to signify elements in square. Both types ignore recoil results.
Horse Artillery
To depict horse artillery we suggest horse teams be separately based to be placed at its front (limbered)
or behind the model as unlimbered. Movement is increased (4BW) but like artillery may only shoot or move.
The Early Victorian Era
After 1815, Europe experienced relative peace until the unrest of the 1840s. Conflicts now became
overseas adventures between European trained troops fighting irregular armies as in India or Africa. Some
native armies raised a core of trained regulars backed by a host of irregulars; the 1st Afghan War, the Sikh
Wars, 1st Opium War are examples and these are covered by the army lists.
The amendments in the previous sections will work for these conflicts. The disparity in numbers between
Native armies and European, it is recommend the native player field more elements than his European
opponent, perhaps by 1 . This does work well and provides an even chance for both sides.
