I have added a file to the Fanaticus wiki which may be of some use to some people.
(And I think I managed to upload it correctly this time! )
It's in the "Reference Sheets and Epitomes" category of the wiki.
Here is a taste of what it contains:-
There are many good player created playsheets out there...and this set originally started out as being nothing more than that.
However, I found that there was so much to remember that I just kept adding more and more rule reminders and notes.
So they are now more than playsheets.
They are more like crib sheets.
And like a playsheet, an entire game can be played with them, from start to finish, without ever needing to look at the main rulebook.
Of course, not every rule has been incorporated. Only those that I myself kept forgetting are included...which you will find is quite a lot!
Very simple rules, such as what constitutes a group, or how to form a column, have not been added as they are easily remembered.
Some people may find that the font size is a bit small. Sorry about that, but I had no choice as there is just so much to add in such a small space.
You may also find the wording a bit stilted and brief. Again, this is due to a lack of space...and these are after all crib sheets, not a set of rules.
I have also, controversially, added my Randomly Generated Terrain chart. I did this because I dislike the ‘shopping basket’ approach to terrain selection.
But fear not: if you prefer to choose terrain, as per the DBA 3.0 rules, then simply pick what you want from the Terrain Chart and don’t roll any random dice.
Contents
Page 1:
This contains all the pre-battle stuff (and is coloured bureaucratic grey).
Page 2:
All the Command and Control rules (in imperial purple).
All the Movement and Contact rules (in grass green).
All the Shooting and Range rules (in sky blue).
Page 3:
All the Combat Factors and Outcomes (in dried blood brown).
All the Post Combat ‘Morale’ rules (in cowardly yellow).
Page 4:
All the City, Fort, and Camp rules (in stone wall grey).
Lastly, all the Big Battle DBA rules (again in imperial purple).
Note that although there are four A4 sized pages, not all of these are necessary once a game has begun.
Page 1 can be ignored once battle starts, and page 4 ignored unless using a city, fort, or playing BBDBA.
