Of late all my English Civil War battles have been played using Simon Miller's "For King and Parliament" rules, They play fast and have a good historical feel.
However today, having a window of opportunity I played a game of DB-RRR which I thoroughly enjoyed. Especially as I a gave King Charles a bloody nose. 4 to 1!
This battle used 12 elements per side made up from the DB-RRR army lists which meant I only used half of the forces I have available the rest gathering dust on the shelf.
I am now thinking of a Big Battle DB-RRR which would enable me to use most of my guys. 21 elements per side.
The problem I have is sorting out PIPs. Should I use 2 x D6 or 1 x D10. The problem I see with both ideas is a wide swing in available PIPs.
Or have a General as CinC and another subordinate General and split the army between them, each roles a D6.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
