DBACW - Gettysburg 1st day
« on: 08 November 2024, 10:00:01 AM »
It's been a while since I played a game of DBN. So yesterday I set up the 1st day of Gettysburg for DBACW

I have used the scenario from Fire and Fury for the map and orders of battle. The game will be played  using the DBACW supplement for the DBN rules.



The table is 3ft by 2ft 6in and my units are based on 60 by 30mm with each base representing a brigade.



I am using standard 1" equals 100 paces as this keep ranges realistic for a game using a brigade as the basic unit.



For this game I translated Fire and Fury unit qualities to DBACW as follows:-

Green - Militia
Experienced - Muskets
Veteran - Muskets but brigade is Stoic for all combat.
Crack - Elite.

If a brigade had 10 or more Fire and Fury stands then it was gets the DBN Stoic trait.
Conversely if a brigade has 5 or less stands then it has a new Skeddadle trait and loses all tied combat rolls.



Battlereport to follow.

I wonder who I got the idea for the card from and whose hole punch I used. Thanks James

That is. Might have to pay it the ultimate compliment and nick it.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss
