DBN Qajar Persians?

I managed to find an old set of army lists for the WRG 1680 rules. Obviously the categorization is not the same as DBN so I will have to work on it. Don't know of any dedicated DBN forum/fora - maybe start one! Plan to be at Vapnartak on Sunday so will look around for suitable figures.

Care to share the list with your suggested changes?  I have the Brown book as well, and like the look of the Qajar...but really would have a difficult time justifying buying any figures as my friends might think I've completely gone off the rails!

1.
Numbers (figure quantity) – description.
Note: historical scale is 1:40 (cavalry) or 1:50 (infantry) and 1 artillery model is five guns.

2.
Regulars are divided into;
Elite – Well trained men belonging to a unit with a guard or grenadier title including ad-hoc combinations of nominally separate grenadier companies but not such companies when operating as part of a line unit. They are assumed to be very well drilled and to have an exceptionally good opinion of themselves. Troops with the right titles but not of the requisite quality, such as Neapolitan or Spanish grenadiers, do not belong to this class and must be fitted in elsewhere as seems appropriate.
Veteran – Belonging to a unit which has special training or extensive campaigning become as competent or in some ways so as elites, and have acquired by success in battle as good an opinion of themselves or a low esteem of their opponents, whether or not this is in fact justified.
Trained – The great bulk of regular troops. Not quite as competent or confident.
Raw – Militia, recruits or otherwise badly trained or officered troops. Liable to fall into confusion during drill or sudden panics during emergencies.

Irregulars are similarly divided into;
Fanatics – Inspired by religion to disregard personal danger, as for example, Egyptian mamelukes or Indian ghazis.
Soldiers – Belonging to a unit commanded by officers, paid, often uniformed, sometimes drilled to some extent, but fighting in irregular fashion. Examples include jaegers, chasseurs, Grenzer, highlanders and most hussars of the Seven Years War, Cossacks, Indian artillery, rocketeers, and mercenary matchlock men and Texas Rangers.
Warriors – Of lower than European cultural level, but with high fighting aptitude, equipped with their own personal weapons, and led by their own chieftains or elected leaders such as highland clansmen in the 45, red Indians, backwoodsmen and Indian hillmen.
Levies – Men not accustomed to fighting, but enlisted or conscripted to work, or who have been armed or armed themselves in an emergency or for political ends, such as pioneers, civilian artillery, or transport drivers, Irish rebels, French revolutionary mobs or Spanish guerrillas.

I have a hazy recollection of 1500 or 1600 points being the norm for competition games, but we had equally enjoyable games with far less; two battalions, one or two stands of skirmishers and a squadron of cavalry.

4. (4) Looking at battlefield roles - there seem to be line, light, skirmishers, fanatics, charging infantry, warriors and guns. How do these impact the ppf?

I am not sure about your question, but there should not be a problem if you collect an army using the standard ratio of the time; 1:6 horse to foot, one gun per thousand men and one in ten units may be elite.

I have made a bit more progress on the army list and figure research. See my blog for details:
