DBMM List Clarifications V2.0.1 10th April 2012 p. 2


Introduction
The aim of this set of clarifications is to provide both players and list checkers a consistent framework in
interpreting the DBMM Army List books. This document provides DBMM players and competition
umpires with a guide to aid:
 Easing new players into using the lists with the answers to many frequently asked questions.
 Consistent interpretation of the list text, especially for competition play.
 Conversion for DBM players who might otherwise be led astray by old conventions.
This document is not an "official" source of DBMM information but is released into the public domain in an
effort to help sustain the growth of DBMM and enhance the enjoyment of DBMM players.
It is largely based on debates or queries that have occurred or are still taking place on the Yahoo DBMM
List (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/DBMMlist) or in discussions between some of those who
check lists for competitions. Special emphasis is provided on the many answers there by the DBMM rules
author, Phil Barker, and to Duncan Head who has provided valuable input to many discussions. Special
thanks also to Peter Feinler who posted many possible errata to the DBMMList.

Scope
The focus of this document is on:
 Unclear or contradictory wording.
 Complex constructs and dependencies.
 Guidance for list checkers
 Some basic principles of DBMM lists such as the “0-1 per x” allocations of troops

This document currently covers the following lists:


1) DBMM ARMY LISTS. BOOK 1: 3000 BC to 500 BC (May 2009)
2) DBMM ARMY LISTS. BOOK 2: 500 BC to 476 AD (November 2008)
3) DBMM ARMY LISTS. BOOK 3: 476 AD to 1071 AD (October 2007)
4) DBMM ARMY LISTS. BOOK 4: 1071 AD to 1515 AD (2010)

This document does not provide details of all possible errata or mistakes. Where such may cause
difficulties in interpretation we do provide guidance. (If you are interested in seeing the potential list issues
identified look at http://dbmmnotes.pbworks.com/.)

Principles used
The general principle underlying most of the list interpretations provided here is that the DBMM army lists
should be played "as written". There are three areas in which we make an exception to this principle:
 As DBMM is aimed at historical simulation we have used this as a basis for decisions where it is
applicable, e.g. when there is a contradiction in the text. Where this is to be done it is noted as some
may read that the interpretation given does not actually match the existing wording in some cases.
We follow the spirit of the rules in these cases and consult experts on the lists where we can.
 When addressing specific cases where Phil Barker has provided definitive clarification of his
intention, despite the current wording of the lists.
 In the very few cases where there appears to be a genuine disagreement about the proper
interpretation of the lists and to not have a common convention would undermine players'
enjoyment. In all such cases we clearly mark the text as a "Suggested List Convention". All of these
will hopefully be resolved by Phil Barker in the future, at which point the current convention will
be replaced by the official ruling.
It is intended that this becomes a "living document" with periodic updates based on further debate,
understanding or updates of the lists and rules, especially the input of Phil Barker on the DBMM List.

Organisation of this Document


This document is arranged in sections corresponding to DBMM Army List Book numbers. There is also a
general section to give guidance on issues that are applicable to many lists.

DBMM List Clarifications V2.0.1 10th April 2012 p. 3


General issues
This section lists common list issues applicable to many army lists.

Differences on pages 1 and 2 in the Army List Books


There are some differences in the lists notes section, e.g. pages 1 and 2, of the 4 published Army List Books.
The suggested convention is to use the wording from Book 4 as this is the most recently published.

Upgrading Generals for Allied contingents


Where an upgrade is of the form “C-in-C and …” it can be used for an allied contingent, but the allied
general must be one of those upgraded.

Nationality-Restricted Troops in Allied Contingents


In general allied contingents have a nationality specified in the list that includes them, e.g. Volsci in "Volsci
allies - List: Italian Hill Tribes (Bk 1/36)". Allied contingents can include troops that are only allowed in the
main list if the C-in-C is of a certain nationality - as long as the allied general is of the nationality in
question and the troops are compulsory or otherwise allowed to allied contingents by list notes. In the case
where no specific nationality or sub-list is given for allied contingents then any nationality or sub-list that
matches the theatre and date of the main list may be used.
Where an un-indented ally has restrictions on what troops they can command, e.g. Turkoman generals in
the Seljuk Turk list, they can also command baggage from their list. The baggage they are commanding
being assumed to be of that origin.

Allied Contingents
Unless otherwise specified in the list:

1) An external ally-general may not command elements from the main list being used, i.e it may only
command element from the allies list.
2) Elements from an external allied contingent may not be commanded by generals from the main list.
3) If the allied contingent can contribute to the army baggage then other suitable foot or train elements
from the allied contingent can be placed in the army baggage command.

Ally Date Ranges


“Unless otherwise specified by either of the 2 lists, allied troops cannot be used outside their own army’s date range,
and can use only those options specified in their own list for the assisted army’s date, and any minima or maxima for
regrades or replacements are modified as above.”

If an external ally is specified in a list for the whole of that list’s date range or for a specific date range
where the allies available dates do not coincide then this is considered to be “specified by either of the 2
lists” and the ally can be used for the dates specified.

If the list being used and allies dates partially overlap then the ally can only be used when the date ranges
overlap.

“0-1 per X” form for allies


The form “0-1 per X“ for eligibility of elements to be included in an allied contingent allows:

a) Values other than “1”, especially 0-2 for baggage,


b) “X” to be multiple elements such as Nikephorian skutatoi,
c) “X” may be a description, such as “general” or a specific troop type.
d) “X” must be some form of troop element, e.g. not a command.

DBMM List Clarifications V2.0.1 10th April 2012 p. 4


An allied contingent may include troop defined by the form 0 - Y per X if X is also allowed in the allied
contingent.

“0-1 per X troop type” in main list


In some lists elements are described in the form “0-1 per X troop type”,. E.g. “0-1 per 8 Reg Bd” or “0-1 per
6 Bw”. This means how many elements so described can be taken per complete group of “X” taken.
Incomplete groups of “X” do not allow any elements so described from being taken. It is not necessary to
take complete multiples of troop type X.

Command size and baggage


A command of 10 elements can have 2 of these as elements of baggage and contribute these to the army
baggage if allowed to do so.

Indented allies and baggage


There are a number of allies specified specifically indented sub-lists, e.g. Thai allies in Khmer and Cham
and Ostmen allies in the Norse Irish list. Such contingents may only use baggage as specified in the sub-
list.

Unusual troops Stratagem


All expendables may use the unusual troops stratagem. In addition the following troops can make use of
this stratagem. Listing in bold must pay for the stratagem if used.
Book 1:
List 25: “Replace Cv(S) chariots with camels disguised as elephants”

List Book 2

List 3-Classical Indian


For Mauryas the Irr Bge(S) cannot be upgraded to regular (historical, see DBMM message 94433), but this
does not prevent the rest of the baggage from being upgraded to regular.
Cv(S) and El generals count towards the number of El or Cv(S) for the purposes of the total number of re-
grades allowed as WWg(I) or Kn(I).
Bw used when El(O) are upgraded to El(S) are still removed from the Bw minimum *even* when the El(S)

Downgrade foot to Irr @ 2AP less if Bd (O) or Bw (X) or 1 AP less if Bd (F)
or (I), Bw (O) or Ax All, or all conscripts, or 0"
The AP reduction listed is not correct, Bw(O) double based with Bw(X) remain at the same cost.
If the Bw(X) Option is taken all Reg Bd and Reg Ax must be upgraded which prevents them being
converted to Wb.

List 9 Syracusian
The asterisk on the Syracusian C-in-C relates to the second last line of the list notes which should have an
asterisk inserted as follows:

11AP All/0"
This upgrade should also be applied to sub-generals at appropriate cost. (Historical and list error)

these can be used.

Bd must be taken in multiples of 2 in order that the correct ratio between them and the Leves/Velites is
maintained. Bd generals as well as Hastati and Principes are included in the total number of Bd.
The note on Pergemene allied contingents means the contingent is commanded by a Pergemene sub-
general who can also command Cv and Ps from the Polybian list (see DBMM list message #133545).

The elite foot skirmishers upgraded to Irr Ps(S) cost 3AP

List 49 Marian Roman


It is not necessary to take a Roman ally-general if in Greece or Asia and commanded by Cassius and/or
Brutus in 42BC.
When replacing Bd with legionary velites/detached antesignani, consider the total number of Bd before
replacement to calculate the maximum number of replacements allowed, i.e. if the minimum 16 Bd is taken
then it can be converted to 14Bd and 2PsS,

armies that are not Late T'ang, Southern Han, Southern T'ang, Wu-Yueh and other southern states' armies.
Other cavalry - Reg Cv(O) @ 8AP 0-4 is incorrectly bold text but this should be interpreted as normal text.

List 40 Norse Viking and Leidang


Only Leidang option: A Swedish in Finland army can contain both Bondi Bd (I) and Finns Ax(O).
Terrain type S is compulsory for Viking.

DBMM List Clarifications V2.0.1 10th April 2012 p. 11


Berserks AP cost should be 5AP not 3AP.
The German allies allowed after 1133 AD are Territorial lords [T].

List 47 Pecheneg:
“War wagons or foot must all be in the same command as all the baggage.” Options are; a) put all foot and
war wagons in the army baggage command or b) have only one command with command baggage which
contains the war wagons and foot. The latter option prevents taking an army baggage command.

List 53 East Frankish:


From 1085 AD generals must also be upgraded to Irr Kn(O) at 20AP (Historical)

List 54 Dynastic Bedouin:


The Bedouin foot are "1/4 slingers" and also “0-1 per 4 LH(O)”. Therefore:
a) The LH(O) count includes generals.

Book 4

List 3 – Anglo-Norman
William of Ypres may command Irr Kn(F) and Irr Sp(I) from the main part of the list if nominated as
mercenary.
Genoese are mercenaries.

List 5 – Sicilian
The option to upgrade Aragonese and Catalan troops to regular should be ignored as none of these troops
types exist in the list.

List 13 – Medieval German


War wagons lists as 1 per 4 foot if taken. This is for [T, Ci] foot only.
The standard wagons must remain in their respective commands.
The army baggage command can only have “other train and also foot elements” that are not marked [I, T,
Ci, FC].
The C-in-C of any origin can have any of the sub-generals.
“Allies internal to this list” – This section specifies which combination of ally-generals may be used with
which type of C-in-C. These are internal allies. Therefore no [I] ally general is allowed as this contradicts
this section even though it is listed as an ally-general type.

List 23 – Feudal English


Ignore the restriction in the notes on using a standard wagon, since there is no Bge(S) in the list.
The upgrade of spearmen to North Welsh refers to the levy on the line above.

List 49 – Anatolian Turkoman


The correct AP cost for the Irr LH(S) Turkoman ally-general is 11 AP

List 55 – Ottoman
