Sub-Roman British in DBMM 100

[Barritus]

How do you prepare a DBMM 100 list for the SRBs?

Do you retain the 2-4 Cv per command? Or are you supposed to cut that to 1/4 of the minimum to 1/2 of the maximum? That seems fairly restrictive.

A literal reading would seem to indicate that the allowance be reduced to 0-2.

That seems pretty sensible to me in the SRB case, but the same reading would also reduce things like "1 per Kn (S)" in French Ordonnance to "? per Kn (S)", which is historical nonsense (each Bw element contain the shooty parts of the lances (6-man administrative units) whose chargy parts comprise the Kn - you wouldn't have fewer shooters in each lance just because the entire army is smaller).

So it's probably best to say all "per" allowances are unaffected until an official clarification comes around.

Yes, that's what I thought too.

Thank you. That's a neat interpretation I can live with.

I have always chosen 0-2 per command (i.e. 0-2 since DBMM100 only has 1 command), because this then keeps the ratios right with the other troops.

I disagree with the previous post about it being the same as "1 per Kn".  "1 per Kn" is a ratio with other troops and therefore you have to keep the ratio the same in order to keep the ratios proper within the army. 2-4 "per command" is a ratio in the command/army and therefore you have to apply the normal DBMM100 reductions in order to give a proper look to the DBMM100 army.

Does seem odd that because of the rounding down of the minimum number of  elements, of a compulsory troop type is no longer compulsory.

I disagree it keeps the proportions right: a typical 3-command army has 6-12 of them, so a reduction to 0-2 is much more severe than that applied to troops with an unconditional allowance (6-12 would become 1-6). It doesn't give a right look that a princeling opperating independently gets fewer Cv than the very same princeling joining a larger army.

I also disagree about not being the same as per [other troop type]. There's simply nothing in the text to suggest per [something] should be treated as different from per [something else].
