Using the latest version DBA 3.0 players can fight battles from the Spanish Succession to the overseas
conflicts prior to the Indian Mutiny. This includes a core set of rules with amendments for the Seven Years
War, the Napoleonic Era and Early Colonial battles and Army Lists. You do need DBA 3.0 to use.

DBA-HX 3.0 1700 1850
The DBA Humberside extension used DBA 1.1 allowing players to re-fight battles from the Pike and Shot
era to the late 19th century (1500 1900). As DBA-RRR handles the Shot and Pike era, this variant starts
from the 18th century and ends before the general use of rifled muskets (1700 1850). You will need DBA
3.0 to make use of this variant.
Ground scale, distance measurement, time scale (page 2) and Historical refights (page 14)
Scale and measurements remain consistent with the basic rule set (DBA 3.0) as do army representation
where each element represents 1/12 of an army led by a general. Re-fighting historical battles, we
recommend the guidelines as specified on page 14. An element of foot or horse as 500 600 troops, 1,000 +
horde, 250 300 horse or camel riders and an artillery model represents 6-8 pieces. 1BW equals 80 paces.
Troop Descriptions
Cuirassier
The term describes those heavy cavalry that made use of breastplate and helm and includes elite
formations as the Maison du Roi, Horse Grenadier, and Guard units.
Cavalry
The majority of battlefield cavalry to include Dragoon and Prussian Hussar of the Seven Years War. The
term also describes irregular formations armed with a variety of melee weapons and firearms.
Lancer
Battlefield cavalry primarily armed with the lance. These appear mainly on the army lists of the Napoleonic
era and later.
Light Horse
Describes irregular formations that skirmished using bow, firearms or spear in combat. Hussars of the
Spanish Succession Wars and up to the Seven Years War are Light Horse. These are not to be confused
with regular formations titled Light Horse or Chevauleger.
Early Dragoon
The term describes mounted infantry (solid or fast) who dismounted to use firelock or musket. Term also
applies to irregular formations using horse or camel.
Grenadier
Elite bodies of troops and those titled Guard or combined grenadier companies temporarily formed in
battalions. Their presence could steady troops and spearhead attacks.
Line Infantry
Describes the majority of trained troops armed with musket and bayonet. Sweden and Russia retained the
pike longer and are listed here as Line Infantry w/pike. You will note the general use of square formations
appear at the Napoleonic section. Prior to this, the fire discipline Line Infantry was an effective deterrent
for Cavalry.
Conscript
Regular formations lacking the drill and discipline of Line Infantry. These are the Militia that appear
throughout the period covered by the rules. Landwehr and Opolochenie of the Napoleonic Wars are Militia.
Warrior
Irregular troops that fought with melee weapons. The Army Lists note which types retain Warband
characteristics, such as the Highlanders, Ghazis and Akalis of the Indian armies. Musket armed warrior
appear in the lists as options and among the regular armies as Grenzers, Pandours or Croats.
Horde
The bulk of irregular troops raised to bring greater numbers to native armies. There are two options listed
in the rules, solid (7Hd) and fast (5Hd) which are options for different army lists. Hordes lost do not count
toward determining win/loss scores.

DBA-HX 3.0 1700 1850
Skirmisher
Light troops of regular and native armies whose primary role was to skirmish with enemy units. The grand
scale of the game makes no attempt to simulate the skirmish-lines that operated in advance of line
infantry. That is represented abstractly. Skirmish elements here represent those formations which
operated independently on the flanks or to hold terrain features, etc.
Jaeger
Similar role as Skirmisher, but primarily armed with longer range weapons, such as rifles or jezzail.
Light Artillery
Light pieces such as regimental 3 and 4 pounders or larger 6 pounders used in battery formations. The
mobile equivalent of these are termed Horse Artillery.
Heavy Artillery
Heavier pieces such as 8 and 12 pounders that formed larger groups or grand batteries.
Note
For game purposes, all artillery are no longer classed as foot, but form a separate classification Artillery.
Deployment
The placement of terrain features and camps is done in the same manner as described in the rule book. No
change to deployment of elements, but we now include an area for reserve formations. This is defined as
4BW from the battlefield side edges and 6BW from the center where 3 elements must start from.
Tactical Move Distance (page 9)
4BW

Note; Artillery shooting factors and close combat remain (+4), but are reduced (+2) if located in a city or
fort.
*Mounted infantry/early Dragoons fight as per foot type (solid) infantry or (fast) warrior.
Note; early period Dragoon are appropriate for the start of this period (+/- 1700).
Flank Support factors (page 11)
Line Infantry or Grenadier add +1 when in frontal close combat in good going against enemy foot if at least
1 flank edge is in mutual side edge (corner contact) with friendly element of grenadier. Conscript or
Skirmisher neither give nor receive flank support.
Tactical Factors: (page 11)
Add to or subtract from scores for each of the following tactical factors that applies:
+4 If defending a city or fort; and either in close combat or being shot at.
+2 If camp followers or other foot occupying their own camp; and either in close combat or being shot at.
+1 If the General is attached and either in close combat or being shot at.
+1 If in close combat; and either uphill or defending any but a paltry rivers bank off -road.
-1 For each enemy element either overlapping or in front edge and front corner-to-front corner contact
with flank or
in full front edge contact with rear, or for each 2nd or 3rd enemy element aiding opposing elements
shooting, or
for each of up to 2 additional enemy elements also still assaulting a city, fort or camp.
-2 If any troops but Warrior, fast Horde, Skirmisher or Jaeger and in close combat in bad (not rough)
going.

Winning a battle (page 12)
Victory conditions follow the same process as in the rule book with the following exceptions; the loss of a
general now counts as one element lost, all Hordes and first Conscript lost as zero.
Generals
Single based Generals are now becoming standard practice. No longer considered elements, they pose no
obstacle for friendly troops passing through them. Unattached, Generals may move 4BW at no pip cost and
to join an element costs +1 allowing further movement with that element. Attached, Generals use their
hosts factors to resolve shooting or combat adding his +1 to the total. Receiving a recoil outcome from
either shooting or combat will result in the General breaking contact. He may re-join on the following turn.
A destroyed result will mean his loss. Generals may not be selected as a target but may become victim to
overshoots. A General within the arc of fire (behind, front or side) of the intended target may himself
become a victim if the enemy fails to score a result on the primary target. Casting his own die, the General
adds his score to the primary targets factor and his opponent using the same shooting score (third party
shooting) a new combat outcome is resolved.
A Generals characteristic is used in determining who defends or attacks. A die roll of 1, 2 or 3 he is
Cautious, 4, 5 Bold and 6 is Rash. The character is given an aggression rating; Cautious is +0, for Bold, +2
and Rash, +4. To determine who defends, both sides cast their die adding the aggression rating. The player
with the lower score is the defender.
Era specific amendments
The Seven Years War
The Seven Years War introduced innovative changes from the linear style of the early 18th century; the
increased numbers of light infantry, light cavalry development, massed batteries, preference for maneuver
over fixed battle lines and the presence of large formations of elite troops.

Note, columns were used to maneuver formations therefore are not assault columns. Irregular armies may
substitute firearms for bow, but these use the same factors. Warriors specified to fight like warband
(Wb) benefit from rear support fighting enemy foot and these are noted for certain army lists. This
differs from fast Horde (5Hd) which do not give rear support and require extra movement cost.
The above options are useful for re-fighting the French and Indian War, British wars in India, and other
Asian conflicts. To compensate for the massive fire power of European forces meeting native armies we
recommend giving Native armies a 5:3 or 3:2 advantage in number of elements. We find this works well as
does three native commands against two European if using the big battle option.
Having extra elements may seem an advantage, but having one General for 14 or 18 elements would
demonstrate quickly a breakdown of command and control.

The Napoleonic War
We read now of greater number of troops on the battlefield, assault columns screened by clouds of
skirmishers and light cavalry are now performing battlefield tasks. The increased size of armies were
organized in larger groups or Corps with the French model being a self-sufficient fighting unit.

Light Infantry
Light infantry, Prussian Fusilier, Russian Jaeger battalions (4/base) may substitute 2 elements of
skirmishers (fast) at the beginning of a game. Which can are specified in the army lists.
Landwehr, Opolochenie
Landwehr, Opolochenie are Conscript troops. These differ in that they may form assault columns and solid
square with Line Infantry.
Assault Column
Two or more Grenadier, Line Infantry or Conscript may form an assault column. Supporting rear element
adds +1 for combat. Columns pursue BW if enemy recoil, flee or is destroyed.
Square Formation
Hollow or Solid square are made by solid troops in good going and stationary during their movement phase.
It costs +1 for each element to form a hollow square. In square, moves are 1BW, shooting is reduced by 2
but may be from any side and in combat troops add +2 to their basic factor against mounted and 0 against
foot. Solid troops in column, stationary and in good going may form solid square at no cost. Shooting and
combat are the same as for hollow, but no movement is permitted. Leaving a solid square to make a tactical
move costs an additional +1. Use a marker to signify elements in square. Both types ignore recoil results.
Horse Artillery
To depict horse artillery we suggest horse teams be separately based to be placed at its front (limbered)
or behind the model as unlimbered. Movement is increased (4BW) but like artillery may only shoot or move.
The Early Victorian Era
After 1815, Europe experienced relative peace until the unrest of the 1840s. Conflicts now became
overseas adventures between European trained troops fighting irregular armies as in India or Africa. Some
native armies raised a core of trained regulars backed by a host of irregulars; the 1st Afghan War, the Sikh
Wars, 1st Opium War are examples and these are covered by the army lists.
The amendments in the previous sections will work for these conflicts. The disparity in numbers between
Native armies and European, it is recommend the native player field more elements than his European
opponent, perhaps by 1 . This does work well and provides an even chance for both sides.

The original army lists made by the Humberside Group serve as a foundation from which we expanded these
into four separate sections matching the variant amendments. New players will find the descriptions useful
and hopefully will encourage further reading. These lists are not meant to be comprehensive as
knowledgeable players may find it useful to design their own list for particular scenarios. For this reason,
there are no aggression factors, home topography or enemies and allies listed.
This first section covers the Wars of the Spanish Succession up to the War of the Austrian Succession.
The single based General is becoming popular and in that case 12 elements are selected from these lists
with the General separate. Alternatively, a command element depicting a General and his bodyguard can be
used in the same manner as a single based General.

DBA-HX 3.0 1700 1850
This section covers the more popular armies from the Seven Years' War up to the French Revolutionary
Wars. Prussia initiated reforms such that light horse transitioned to battlefield cavalry; grenadier units
became permanent; and heavier guns formed mass batteries and demonstrated a willingness to manoeuvre
on the battlefield.
This is also a period of overseas conflicts bringing European armies in conflict with Native armies. Those
armies lacking firearms and artillery may increase the number of elements to the ratios suggested in the
Early Victorian era section. These armies show higher maximum quantity to allow for this option.
