Rules

We will use DBR version 2.0 rules with some modifications:
(Page references are to the 2004 edition. Later reprints might have different page numbers.)

Baggage

• Allied baggage is added to their own command, as per the rules.
• Other baggage is grouped together but not part of any command. It adds its ME to the overall army total. If mobile, it may be moved with the C-in-C's PIPS.

Terrain

• If a road is compulsory, that is 1-2 pieces not 1-2 FE. (See page 12, paragraph 8)

Deployment and starting the game

• Both sides must deploy no closer than 200 paces from the centre line, unless in a fortified BUA. (See page 15, paragraph 6)
• Defender takes the first move. The weather score is based on the defender's first bound PIP dice, not the attacker's. (See page 12, paragraph 3)

Overhead shooting

• To be a valid target for overhead shooting, an enemy element must be at least a base width beyond any part of an intervening friendly element. (See page 19, paragraph 3)

Shot

• Troops classified in the WRG lists as Sh (I) and armed with musket may be chosen as Mkt (I) for 5AP. Range 200p, outcomes as Sh (I).
• Troops classified in the WRG lists as Sh (F) and armed with musket may be chosen as Mkt (F) for 6AP. Range 200p, outcomes as Sh (F).
• Summary of Shot reclassified as Arq and Msk.
