Having toyed with "To the Strongest" rules I have now decided to use DBA for my up coming 1066 campaign.
I then on the internet stumbled across an article by Bob Beatie on BBDBA.
I have adapted his ideas and fought a test battle yesterday between Normans and Anglo Saxons. I was very pleased with the result. Saxons Won!
I have adapted the ideas as I am using 20 elements per side. One Commander with a command distance of 1200 paces and a subordinate commander with a distance of 600 paces. To be in command elements must be with in command distance of one of the generals.
1 pip die is used.
The army becomes disordered when 6 elements have been lost. Then at the start of every turn the pip die is rolled and it's score must equal or better the number of elements lost over 6. So if 8 elements are lost the pip must be 2 or more, if not command and control has broken down and the army is defeated. Obviously if 13 elements are lost the battle is lost as a 7 cannot be rolled on a D6!
My test battle played very well, the Saxons achieving a win with the Normans having lost 8 elements and failing the pip roll. The Saxons had lost 7 elements so a close run thing!
