Humberside Wargames Club

DBA Extensions [1500-1900]

The text for this can be found at the Humberside Wargames Scociety's Homepage along with a large number of other DBx related items. Use this link to get straight to the rules.

I have only played this set once so far (see here for an illustrated battle report) but have had some ideas on blocks to use for the element types for the earlier periods covered.

The add-ons/optional rules look particularly interesting, well worth a look.

There are 7 new element types

Abbrev.	Element Type	Renaissance variant equivalent	Description	Illustration
Ps	Pistols	Re	Any 2-rank cavalry
Dr	Dragoon	Dg	Half a mounted Dragoon block plus a split dismounted Dragoon block
Sh	Shot	Aq	Loose order Bowmen
Ms	Muskets	By	Any 3-rank H&M infantry block
Jg	Jaeger	*	H&M skirmishers or H&M Loose Order Infantry
Rf	Rifles	*	Any 2-rank H&M infantry block
Cn	Cannon	*	H&M artillery
Kn	Cuirassiers	Kn	Any 8-man cavalry block or 6-man for earlier period (pre 1600) or BG10 for later Lancers where these count as Kn
Cv	Cavalry	Cv	Any 6-man cavalry block

• El, Pi, Pk, WWg, SC & Dr don’t need dots as it should be obvious what they are from the blocks used.
• CF have no dots, they are made obvious by their position.

Some of the illustrations have not yet had their colour codes applied.
