🤔In the course of my gaming and producing the GdA2 Bootcamp I’ve been harassing DCRB with all manner of rules questions and clarifications. 🫣 🤓I’ll consolidate and share them in due course. I’ve also made a couple of really basic errors in playing that I can only put down to the fact I’ve been playing solo and therefore have not had the benefit of the ‘independent check’ to pick me up😔. For example, having multiple units within a single brigade gaining the ‘skirmisher tasking’ bonus when it only applies to ONE unit. 🤦‍♂️ As I’ve stated: “it’s incumbent on the player to read their rules thoroughly” 🤓😃 Anyway,.. once I’ve consolidated these Q and As into a single document I’ll share. Maybe it could be the basis of a FAQ going forward? 😆

If it’s not been posted yet and you email them I’m confident they’ll include the Deployment Markets

Good pickup. Thank for that. Funny story, I just noticed that mistake about 5 mins before seeing your comment

Great idea Scott. I’m the same with DB on this side of the planet. 😂😂. Have played several games with DB as part of the playtesting and have to say there have been some very ‘robust’ conversations along the way. But, the outcome is a brilliant game.

Sorta. The scenario has the second line on ‘HOLD’ orders. A GdB rule mechanism. I’ve altered the scenario to reflect my understanding of the actual battle.

@@CheckYourLeaderTV could be worth telling us about the Attack/Defend orders as this quite a change. I got a little confused when you said it could not move. Now I understand.

@@davek8295 I’ll try and remember to make mention in my next vid, Part 3

@@CorvusLudos I base my infantry 6 figures in two ranks on a 45mm wide and 40mm deep base with 4 bases to a standard unit. I also use 40mm square bases with 4 figures in 2 ranks with 6 bases to a standard unit. Cavalry are 2 models on a 50mm square or 3 on a 60mm wide by 50mm deep base, with 6 or 4 bases to a unit. Artillery are usually 1 cannon and 4 crew an a 50mm wide base and 100mm deep. Basing doesn’t need to be consistent with GdA which is great imho. ‘Close enough’ is good enough. After all, no battalion ever had the exact same footprint on the battlefield.

Its roll 2D6 and take the best one.

@@ruckandmaul5018 yes seemed a bit OTT to use both but thats how it read to me

I posed the same question to DCRB as follows : “Hi David (again). I’m slightly confused on how Bold Brigs roll to activate. My understanding is as follows: 1) if using 0-1 taskings they roll 2 D6 and chose the higher (which to me is the same as having a re-roll). If they have 2 or more Bde taskings they simply roll 1 D6 (no reroll) and thus would need a Brigade Attachment. (Foreshadowing here: this was apparently the correct answer) OR. 2) if using 0-1 Taskings they roll 2 D6 and chose the higher, and if both are 1 or 2 THEN get a reroll but If they have 2 or more Bde taskings they simply roll 1 D6 and if they score a 1-2 THEN get a reroll”. Response: “It’s the first one”. Simply put (as I understand it) : if the Bold brigadier is going through simple brigade manoeuvres or attempting one brigade task he gets a reroll (because he’s switched on) but if he’s doing something more complex then he’ll need some addition ‘command and control’ assistance from Div HQ.

Yes,.. that’s correct; almost. Some brigades only get 3 or 4 ADCs and some get 6. And yes, I did ‘mentally reset’ to GdA1 😆 That said,.. the French only had 4 Brigades on table therefore only get 5 ADC. The Allies with 7 Brigades on table across two small divisions with the Prussian Div having 3 Brigades (so 4 there) and the Russians having 4 Brigades (so another 4 there). But if I run the allies as a ‘Combined Division’ (which is essentially what I’m doing here) we get 7 Brigades so 6 ADC.

Yes
