Folks
This is the first time DBMM has been offered at Cancon, and only one of the four proposed list books has yet been published. Put this
together, and we have a competition which I hope no one is going to take too seriously. To help you, Chris and Peter, your umpires, have assembled these instructions...
1. Rules: There are some interpretations and errata available at [www.dbmm.org.uk]. Please check them out before the competition.
Peter has created a DBMM rules index, and you will be given a copy at the start of the competition to help you find things in the rule book.
2. Lists: DBMM List book 3 has been published, and all armies from that book are to be used as published (taking into account errata).
For armies from DBM List books 1, 2 and 4, use the amendments specified in Appendix IV of the DBMM rule book.
3. List checkers: The list checkers are Chris Jolley (Chris.Jolley(at)mottmac.com) and David Mather (mather(at)ntlworld.com), two DBMM
players from the UK. Please send your list to one of these gentlemen, and they will check your list in accordance with these instructions.
If your list is okay, they'll let you and us know, but if there are any problems, they'll get in contact with you.
4. Baggage: There are no specific rules covering the baggage of armies in DBM List books 1, 2 and 4.. While Phil Barker has made a
few general statements, nothing has been published. As a result, we've drawn up our own interpretations, which apply only to Cancon.
a: No army can use Baggage(S) unless in the list.
b: If you wish to use Army Baggage, then it must be Regular if your C-in-C is regular, otherwise Irregular. You can use Baggage (O) or (I) as you wish, keeping in mind that only Baggage (O) can be protected by TF.
c: If you wish to use Command Baggage, then it must be Regular if the command's general is regular, otherwise Irregular. You can use
Baggage (O) or (I) as you wish, keeping in mind that only Baggage (O) can be protected by TF.
d: You can use Baggage (F) as Army Baggage only if the entire army contains only mounted and Psiloi elements.
e: You can use Baggage (F) as Command Baggage only if the command contains only mounted and Psiloi elements.
5. Umpiring: Chris and Peter will be your umpires throughout the competition. However, if either of us is in a prize-winning position at the end of the fourth round, that player will stand aside from umpiring for rounds five and six.
6. Questions: If you have any, please email either Chris or Peter.
7: Fun: Remember to have plenty of it.
Peter and Chris
