DBA Extension 1500-1900AD

Extension for 1500 AD - 1900 AD

 

By Tony Barr

 

INTRODUCTION

 

These rules are intended to be an addition to WRG's DBA v1.1 ancients rule set. They do not alter those rules in any way but attempt to allow ancient players to dabble in later periods without the need to learn new rules and produce large new armies. The simplicity of the DBA approach is retained throughout. Base sizes are intended to maximise compatibility with other rule sets. As ever, battles between non-contemporary armies are not recommended. See the playsheet for details not given below.

The basic premise behind this extension is that, until the late 19th century, armies in formal battles usually formed up in lines, columns and mobs and that missile ranges were relatively short, whether due to the nature of the weapons or the limiting effect on visibility of huge quantities of black powder smoke. The effects of morale and motivation remain similar throughout the period. The change occurs with the introduction of smokeless powder and quick change rifle ammunition clips in the 1880's and the subsequent inevitable adaptations of tactics towards skirmishing and long range suppressive shooting, in which most soldiers were expected to show a degree of individual initiative never before known. This suggests a viable cut-off point for this rule set to be between 1885 and 1915 AD.

Thanks are due to Phil Barker and Richard Bodley Scott for DBA rules and the inspiration to extend their usefulness.

 

TROOP TYPES

 

All DBA troop classes are retained, though some now include later troops which fought in a similar fashion to their predecessors. Some new classes depict later troop types with firearms.

PISTOLS (Pi) are those horsemen who relied on massed pistol fire from deep circulating formations (caracole tactics) or those firing before charging home. They are based four per element, 30mm deep.

DRAGOONS (Dr) represents all men mounted on horses but primarily trained to shoot dismounted with firearms (or sometimes bows), and so are classed as foot troops. Dragoons shoot at a distance. Base 40mm deep with 3 dragoon figures and a horse, with either a rider or a horse holder. Alternatively, mount a single horse on a 40mm x 20mm base and temporarily position it behind a suitably equipped element.

SHOT (Sh) represents all those foot who shoot in an ordered fashion with firearms lacking bayonets, in large formations, either alone, bordering, or integrated with, pikes. They can move and shoot in every bound. Base 3 or 4 to an element, 20mm deep.

MUSKETS (Ms) covers all regular, close order, volley-firing, European type foot troops, between the late 17th and late 19th centuries fighting in lines and columns with smoothbore or sometimes rifled muskets, all having bayonets for defence against mounted troops. The presence of skirmishers or battalion guns is factored in. In close combat Muskets benefit from a rear supporting rank of Muskets, thus depicting column attack or square formations. Some early Muskets could include some pike armed figures. Column attacks should only be used if historically appropriate. Base 4 to an element 20mm deep.

JÄGER (Jg) are foot troops, often rifle-armed, who, like Psiloi and Auxilia, fought in a dispersed or loose formation, but unlike Psiloi, did their skirmishing at a distance and with some accuracy. Some troops could be deployed as either Jäger or Muskets and are listed as Ms/Jg. Base two to an element 20mm deep.

RIFLES (Rf) are the successors to Muskets and Jäger from the mid 19th century onwards, who were capable of volley firing, showing individual initiative, and operating in difficult as well as open terrain. They are usually rifle armed. Skirmishers are factored in. They benefit from a rear supporting rank of Rifles in close combat. Base 3 or 4 to an element, 20mm deep.

CANNONS (Cn) are those crew-served gunpowder artillery weapons of the 17th century and later, which had lightened carriages, standardised ammunition and effective limbers. Cannons are based and fight as Artillery. They benefit from an improved maximum range and greater effectiveness at short range. Rifled artillery of the mid 19th century was used tactically in the same way as smoothbore artillery, and is not differentiated. Limbers may be depicted but play no part in the rules.

OTHER ARTILLERY Treat Indian rocketeers as Bows, Congreve Rockets as Artillery but with factors as for Bows and early machine guns as Cannons but with combat factors as for Rifles. All other artillery types use normal Artillery factors and restrictions.

 

ARMY LISTS

 

The army lists are designed to produce armies consisting of 12xelements plus a camp or baggage element. It is important to view these lists as only very basic guidelines; original orders of battle, converted into DBA terms, should always be preferred as source of information on army compositions. Players should, however, expect to have to justify their choice of troop types; some classifications are more contentious than others! The decision must rest with the player, providing his opponents are persuaded by his reasoning. Armies also found in the DBA rules have the DBA number in brackets; some have been altered. The ID numbers of potential enemies are given after "E=". Later armies are listed in terms of minimum and maximum numbers of each type of element.

The following 19th century colonial army lists were compiled by Bruce McFarlane of the Canadian Wargamers Group. For horse and musket games they added a morale system which limits the number of recoils a element can sustain, depending on its quality (2 to 5). This ensures that even through Musket to Musket or Rifle to Rifle get nothing but recoils, the firefight will move to a conclusion. The numbers in brackets are the number of recoils allowed to that element. For more on this see http://fanaticus.org/DBA/variants/varmorale.html 

 

FANATICS  have all the characteristics of Warbands, except they move 300p/300p/400p.  Also they get a +1 combat bonus the first time they roll a combat roll in hand-to-hand combat.
