They must specify the number of ME and the disheartened/broken/shattered levels for each command and for the whole army. The total army size for each list must not exceed 400APs and the list must indicate the climate, aggression factor, year, geographical region, generals where relevant, classification of general, all stratagems chosen (and the elements to which they apply, if appropriate) and all double based elements. Once an army list has been submitted it may not be changed or altered other than to correct any errors. Players may only correct their errors by making reasonable changes to their list. It is not allowed to completely re-write the list, and the list checkers decision on this is final.
7. Except as specified in the DBMM army list books, only Romans and Byzantines can have regular baggage. All others converted from the DBM army list books may have irregular (O) or (I) baggage except that armies that are completely mounted (including mounted infantry) can have irregular (F). In accordance with the notes on p.1 of DBMM Army List Book 3, allied commands of less than 10 troop elements cannot have more than 1 baggage element.
