DBMM Rules

  • The rules used will be DBMM v2.0 plus any relevant parts of the 31st of March version of the DBMM Commentary and the following DBMM v2 rulings:
    1. All elements of an unreliable command become shaken rather than disheartened.
    2. Night attacks are a choice of the side deploying FIRST (i.e. most likely to be the defender)
    3. Baggage commands do not have a PIP die
    4. Baggage from allied contingents that can only be included in an army baggage command if the allied contingent is commanded by a sub-general OR if an internal ally-general and the army does not appear in own list of enemies.
  • Armies must be 375AP or less.
  • Armies can be from the Theme below using DBMM Lists Bk1-3 and the draft Bk4 army lists available on the 30th of Sept.
  • Basemats will be provided, players must supply their own terrain.
  • The decisions of the umpire are final.
  • Games will be 3.5 hours +/- 15 minutes in duration. The exact time will be secretly determined by the umpire.
  • Games will end immediately (whistle stop) when the umpire calls time. Roll no more dice, move no more troops and proceed to the end of the bound evaluation of commands breaking/disheartening etc and then calculate the scores,
  • There will be a non-playing umpire who will only play against the bottom of the draw if there is an uneven number of players.
