Re: Column flank attack clarification

Hello! Long time listener, first time caller. Hi Alan, glad to see you on the forum. As some of you know, I played a bunch of DBA several years ago; and now I'm finally transitioning to Triumph!

Rod wants a copy in hand by April 26th, so if that is overly pessimistic? I am ok with that :)
I would describe that as "not impossible". I'm not prepared to give it a probability though.

Re: Camps

Hi Bill - Sorry for this long winded response. But I hope you'll indulge me as I pontificate on game design. ;) In addition to the historical aspects, I wanted to go into the game play aspects of the camp rules. This is something we should probably post someplace, since it's really a design note kin...

Re: Shooting at generals

Am I blind, or has the +1 for general's getting shot at disappeared? You are correct. With the new shooting rules, we felt that the tactical factor for the general was no longer applicable. And we've been keen to remove things where we could in an attempt to keep the game as simple as possible. I s...

Re: How to measure command distance?

Jack, what if the guy on the far end of the group decides to separate and move individually? +1 pip right? That's right. When moving as a single stand, that stand must start within the command distance of the general or the move costs +1. When moving as a group, at least one stand that is moving as...

Re: How to measure command distance?

What does it mean for a group of stands to be in command distance? Is it that any part of the group is within command distance of any part of the general, even if some of the stands in the group are beyond command distance? The rules for determining line of sight for command are pretty clear, but I...

Re: Group move in difficult terrain : cost in CP ?

Just a note: I am reading the Jan 2018 version of the rules and 30.4 still talks about spending a CP per stand rather than per column. Is this intended? The intent is to count command points as if part of a column where appropriate. I'll modify the text to include something along the lines of "...a...
