Berkeley 15mm DBM is on this weekend and in my second game i was pitched against Phil and Sue (we were both on 0 points at the time). Anyway, during the game I...

A question about the campaign rules. What happens in the (admittedly rare) situation where an player's army is reduced entirely to elements that cannot be...
But this army still cannot take the field as the number of elements over 3 AP is too high. I assume the same argument applies; they wait even longer until they...

... OK, not in that case. But there are other types of lurkers that could be thought of as invading with or ahead of the army: scouts, raiders, spies, allied...

Howdy All, If a single element or a group does not contain the general and not moving along a road, can it move more than once per bound? Just double checking,...
... No, but in v2.0 the General is not required, just the road. "Extra PIPs can be used to each add 100p to a road move (by any troops except aerials or...
