Everything is written in the order you need to know it.”<BR/><BR/> Phil Barker, 03 Jun 2008"<BR/><BR/>Were that actually true, there wouldn't be so many discussions on so many boards about the rules that sound like:<BR/>"The attacking party shall be designated as the party of the first part except when the second party (the party of the second part) becomes the party of the first part in lieu of the original party of the first part under the general circumstances (not to be confused with the general principles, or general electric who is a purveyor of electrical goods, not to be confused with the conveyor of the goods which is a belted drive mechanism (+2 for uphill, +1 for electrical power, void where prohibited by law some assembly required, batteries not included) which shall move the electrical goods forward at a standard rate unless in rough going or out of the command radius of the party of the second part (formerly known as the party of the first part) or when uphill or charging pike armed heavy infantry (+1 for each additional rank, +1 if supported by skirmishers) in which case the general prudential rule (not to be confused with the rule of General Prudential of the Fatimid (See book III a army 47, with all options) in which case the earlier definitions of the parties of all respective parts are restored by a 1 rolled on an average D6."<BR/><BR/>Yes, before all of you purists get a knot in your knickers, I KNOW Mr. Barker's english usage is technically correct, but especially for a newcomer to wargaming, picking up one of the DB? rules books and trying to make heads or tails of it without a mentor is at best a daunting task, and in many cases overwhelming enough to say "Heck with this" and find a rule set that is less arcanely worded, cross-referenced, with illustrations and examples.<BR/><BR/>JJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202580486252841248.post-20713868579070207292008-06-02T16:00:00.000+01:002008-06-02T16:00:00.000+01:00As one about to set my toe forth into the ocean th...As one about to set my toe forth into the ocean that is dbmm I thank you for the interesting and helpful downloads!tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.com
