DBN at Fall-In 2009, Official Blurb

[Little Caesar]

10:30am, 7 September, 1812.

Prince Poniatowski surveys the battlefield. The village is in flames, burned to cover the retreat of the enemy and corpses mark the highwater mark of the first assault against the treacherous Czar’s troops. The Russians still hold the high ground but with Jerome’s Westphalians in support, he feels confident his Poles can carry the position, but he needs to keep those Cossacks off his flanks.

Facing him, Tutchkov readies himself for another assault. He knows that it is paramount he holds the mound and keep the French from being able to pour artillery fire into the fleches from that position. He also knows that if the old Smolensk road is opened to the enemy, the entire army’s flank will be turned. Supported by elements of Baggavout’s 2nd Corps, he will have to lead the counter-attack himself in front of the famous Pavlov Grenadiers… a fatal decision.

A bombardment of nearly one hundred guns erupts and counter battery fire answers almost immediately, but infantry will carry today’s battle. It’s time to open the road to Moscow once and for all…

This will be a Giant DBN battle with a twist. The game is designed as a 10 player scenario with a CinC for each side who will also take the role of one of the 5 commands for that side. CAPS will be determined ala BBDBA, with the CinC making the dice throw and doling out the CAPS to his subordinates. However, a one minute time limit will be imposed on this decision, so generals, make your arguments quickly. Demoralized command will be handled similarly to BBDBA.

The game will be played on a 3x5 surface and all armies will be provided by me.

There are a few Special Scenario Rules which are being play tested. None of them are earth shattering and none are meant to change any of the basic concepts of the game. Examples include:

Each CinC receives 2 additional CAPS to disperse per turn, or 1 if he attaches himself to a command. (Note that attaching the CinC to a command other than his own does not make the CinC player in control of 2 commands, it only allows the DRM to the attached command.)

VP will be awarded for normal conditions, plus control of Utitza village and especially Utitza mound. VP will also be awarded if the Old Smolensk Road is cleared by the French and are able to exit off the map. VP for demoralized commands as well.

I will list the OoB as they stand today July 26, 2009. These are subject to minor changes. I would like interested people to sign up for an individual command. Some of the commands don't appear as sexy as some others but they are all equally important and good play can win it for their repsective side! (EDIT: They are now labeled for ease of communication.) CinC’s may be chosen beforehand or on site. If we do not have 10 players, I will play whatever is left. If we do I will adjudicate and pontificate and hopefully not obfuscate.


The French:
CinC: Prince Poniatowski
ADC

(Po1) 16th Polish Division:
General Zayonchek
7 x Ms, 1 x FA, 4 x Jg (2 can be combined to make 1 Ms after game start)

(Po2) 18th Polish Division
General Kniaziewicz
9 x Ms, 1 x FA

(Po3) 5th Corps Cavalry
General Kaminsky
3 x LC(E) (Polish Uhlans), 3 x LC (Chasseurs), 3 x LC (Hussars), 1 x HA

Westphalians
(Wp1) 23rd Division + elements of 24th
General Tharreau
8 x Ms, 2 x LI, 2 x FA (1 is E),
1 x Ms(E), 2 x Jg(E)

(Wp2) 8th Corps Cavalry
Genral Chabert
6 x LC (Westphalian Hussar), 3 x LC (Westphalian Guard CheaveuxLeger), 1 x HA

The Russians:
CinC: General Tutchkov
ADC

3rd Corps
(R1) 3rd Division
General Konowitzin
8 x MS, 2 x Jg, 2 x FA

(R2) 1st Grenadier Division
General Strogonoff
8 x Ms(E), 2 x Jg(E)

(R3) Elements of 1st and 3rd Divisions, Moscow levees and Cossacks
General Parillovski
3 x Ms (M)(Moscow Opolchenie)(Levee en masse), 1 x Ms(E), 3 x FA, 9 x IC(Cossacks)(Guard, North Sea, Teptiarsk)

2nd Corps

Prince Eugene of Wurttemburg
8 x Ms, 2 x Jg, 2 x FA

(R5) 17th Division
General Olsoufieff
8 x Ms, 2 x Jg, 2 x FA

The ratio of Cavalry to infantry is skewed but I don’t care. There was cavalry action at the beginning and end and the units involved were cool as hell, so I’m using them. The source material is Nafzigers: ‘Napoleon’s Invasion of Russia’ as interpreted by ‘Napoleon, International Journal of the French Revolution and the Age of Napoleon’, Fall 1995.

We will be using the attrition rules as well as forming square.

Any comments/ questions welcome.

[Kontos]

Looks great Steve. I'd like to grab up the 16th Polish Division if that is alright with everyone?

Frank

[Mike Porter]

Can we sign up now? I'd like to take a Russian command, but not CnC--I've only played once (going to try and get in a couple more games before Fall In).
I'm interested in General Beef Strogonoff's command.

[Tom McKinney]

Looks good Steve. My complaint is that it's over a 100 days off! I'll take the Westphalians (Wp1) please. Looking forward to it.

Will the standard DBN CinC CAP rules stand alongside the BBDBA mechanism? That is, after a CinC doles out the die to the subs can he still transfer (at cost) additional CAPs from his supply?

Thanks for organizing.

Tom

[Bob. (and his dog)]

I hope to get to Fall In. Last year at Gettysburg and I hope to get to the site earlier and look around.

Please put me down for R3, I like militia :)

Keep in mind that most of us have played only for a year or less. Consider keeping all the variations to a minimum. At a Con, the best game is a simple one. Why not just play the game as written, making decisions in a minute sounds easier than it is. Allowing sub commanders throwing CAP die and the CINC making additions works well.

[Bob. (and his dog)]

Given how full the game is now, and I think Terry Webb wants in, no need to put in the general program, especially if there are no openings. You will get a couple people getting tickets and showing up with no openings.

Some of our past players are not listed yet, Hank for example, and the Bostwicks. Should be no problem filling all slots with just the DBA crowd.

[Terry37]

If I can make it to Fall IN, yes, I would enjoy joining in. Also Glenn Little who I hope to ride with and share a room would probably be interested as well. I'll check with him.

Terry

[Little Caesar]

Terry,

It would be awesome of you made it to Fall-In! If you are there I nominate you for a CinC position!

With his dice you'd never see an extra PIP from the CiC! :eek

OK, he's Russian. :D

Terry, it seems that your reputation preceeds you. :eek

[Terry37]

Gosh thanks Frank and Tony!!! But then the truth always hurts and I do seem to be "gifted" with the little spotted cubes don't I!!!!

Steve, thanks for the honor of C-in-C, but I would really prefer a simple command if possible, this being my first time to game with you all, and with the attrition system.

I'll try to nail it down today and sign up tonight when I get back from the game shop, and my many victories for the day behind me!!!!! (yeah right!).

Terry

[Terry37]

Just for the record gentlemen, Today my Gauls defeated the Marian Romans when tied at 2 to 2 my warband took out a blade supported by psiloi duo! There, I won one!!!

Terry

[Kontos]

APPLAUSE!!!:2up :2up

What was that saying about a blind squirrel? :D

Hope to see you at Fall In, Terry.

Frank

[Terry37]

OK, I hope this doesn't run everyone off, but looks like all systems are go for me and I will be attending Fall In!!! Therefore, if it is still available may I have either P02 or R01 to command?

Terry, of the Ever, Ever So Lucky Die!!!

[Kontos]

I have some dice from "down under" you can try. ;)

Frank

[David Crenshaw]

I'm so jealous! But at least with Terry agreeing to play the attrition system, he'll want to try out a few games with me first!

Lord knows I've tried, but with those rolling skills of his it's not always easy. :D

David

[Terry37]

To quote Mr. R. Dangerfield - "I get no respect!".

And for the record, Mr. David Crenshaw only makes such statements as long as I leave the Lone Psiloi at home!!!!

Now we need to get Mr. Crenshaw to join us and also make the trek!!!!

Hazah!!! Terry the all and mighty. Maybe your specialty is in "ancient Armies" and not the smelly cheese Frenchies.....

Congrats, I missed the last line the first time I read this posting.

Jeff

I am so jealous that you are goign to play at a convention other then Nashville, and I can not come along with you. Oh well, next time then. I think you had better breif your wife on the sins of the venders room before you leave.:)

[Terry37]

"LET HIM WIN! We don't want to discourage him. "

Frank, I think they do that just about every Saturday, but it never works. I always find a way to destroy my own forces!!!!

To the others, I don't need a new die, just send me some pips to put on the one I have!!!!

Terry, Owner of the only die without pips on it

[Kontos]

Terry, Owner of the only die without pips on it


Drop it in coffee. If it melts, it is probably a sugar cube and should not be used for wargaming. I gave up sugar decades ago for this very reason. :silly

I am so looking forward to meeting you at Fall In. I will, of course, avoid contact as my die rolling is already bad enough. Nothing personal I assure you. :D

Frank

[Terry37]

Frank, I too look forward to getting to meet, and I agree the best thing for protecting your dice is to keep them away from me!

Are you going to play in Bob's Assaye game? That is a cool battle and and I am looking forward to it!!

OK, better go put my dice through their training routines now!!! Can't be too prepared you know!

I want to play anything and everything DBN and DBA if time allows. I will put DBN first as I have local DBA players but very few DBNers. Did you see my post on playtesters for the Battle of Salamanca? If you and David find the time, I can send you a draft copy to use. Let me know.

Frank

[Little Caesar]

Men,

I've just returned from vacation and have missed the last week's discussion.

Terry, I am so glad to hear we will get to meet in person and I will update the troop assignments asap, after I get through all the rest of the stuff I need to do after being away from a computer for 9 days.
Alas my main laptop is jealous at not coming along for the trip and I currently cannot log in to it. This ancient desktop is making everything very s-l-o-w.

Steve

[Bob. (and his dog)]

Hi Steve, I just finished making up a Polish army and ended up with about 8
4-man stands worth of line infantry. If you need some more figs, I am happy to sell these to you at $1 per fig. These are mini figs and painted well. If you find yourself getting behind in getting all of your troops together, I have 12 stands based for DBN I could bring along. I thought I recall your saying you had everything, but I did not know if it were all painted.

Bob,

Thank you for such a generous offer. However, I would like to give you the opportunity to sell them now because I currently have what I need. If you still have them at Fall-In, lmk beforehand and I will more than likely take them.

Currently, the only element that needs painted is one Westphalian Light Infantry, 3 dudes. I am trying to base what I can while waiting for bases from Wargame Accessories. I ordered from them twice; the first time they sent me 40x30's (I need the 40x20's), the second time they just didn't send me anything. There is no phone number on the website. My local game store orders from Wargames and Baxter and they, in turn, order from Wargame Accessories. Baxter claims WA only ships on Saturdays and they were due to send an order two weeks ago. Our local hobby shop is still waiting for the order from Baxter to see if they are included. It is maddening. I have 200 guys to base for this scenario, now an entire DBR samurai army and 48 British Napoleonic infantry also waiting.

If I ever receive bases, playtesting can begin, until then I continue to stare at them and wait. It's been about 5 weeks so far.

Peeved and Petulant in Pittsburgh,
Steve

[Mike Porter]

I recommend Renaissance Ink bases--never had a problem with delivery.

[Terry37]

Steve, I know Baxter is waiting for his shipment of bases because he has gotten into playing some DBN as well and has a British army in Spain to base up. Hope you both get them soon!

Terry

[Little Caesar]

Here's the line-up thus far:

Po1: Frank
Po2: Terry W
Po3: Ron G
Wp1: Tom McKinney
Wp2: Spencer G.

R1:
R2: Mike Porter
R3: Bob Beattie
R4:
R5:John Svensson

You know if there is enough interest, people can split commands. We certainly want to accomodate as many people as possible.

I have been busy basing the cavalry figues and hope to post some photo's soon. Luckily when Wargame Accessories sent me the wrong bases, I could still use them for the cavalry. And Terry, I know it is not Baxter's fault they haven't reached Pittsburgh. It will be never before I order from Wargame Accessories again.

Terry, it'll be great to meet you in person finally.

Steve

[Little Caesar]

I recommend Renaissance Ink bases--never had a problem with delivery.

Thanks Mike. I will probably order from them this week.

Steve

[RonG]

At the Fanaticus Resource page is a company, vexalia, which I have ordered bases from. Always recieved quickly. Same from Warweb. Quick delivery from both. FYI:up

[Little Caesar]

I ordered bases from Renaissance Ink and got them in 4 days! Let playtesting begin.

Thanks for the tip Mike!
Steve

[Roland Fricke]

Can LiTtle Caesar (Steve) or somebody who knows Steve's last name PM so I can submit his name for a free GM admission to FallIn ? Thanks

[Tom McKinney]

Hi Steve --

If it is still available I'd like to request the following command for Sean Carson. He's familiar with the rules and has done a couple of big battles.

Thanks

Tom McKinney

And BTW, just 2 nights ago I painted the last 2 Westphalian generals and Westphalian lances, completley finishing the entire project. Good thing I started in February.

Except for terrain.
Poop.

Steve

[Terry37]

I'l be there and VERY much looking forward to it! Is there a prize for rolling the most ones!!!!

Terry

[Little Caesar]

Men,

I think the playtesting for Fall-In is essentially done. There will still be a few reports to come in from my esteemed helpers.

There will be some tweaks to OoB's but nothing serious. Final VC are pretty nailed down.

I will supply sheets with fire and cc charts for everyone.

Some hints for the Poles/Westphalians:

avoid the temptation to enter a gun duel with the Russians,

use cavalry in the way the Emperor intended

don't forget STM to close with the enemy (there will be a specific Scenario Special Rule regarding this, the only one.)

Steve

[Chris Brantley]

Hi Steve

If you've still got an empty slot, I'd love to join you and the gang for DBN at Fall'In. If not...no worries...I'll just kibbitz.

Chris B.

[Little Caesar]

Chris,

R4 is still available so it's yours if you want it.That would give us 10 players.

Frank has mentiones he may want to try something else and maybe others may feel the same way. If so we can take walk-ups or run multiple commands. None are very large.

I'm thinking I read in another thread that Mike Porter cannot make it after all. That would leave the Russian Grenadier division in need of a commander. We'll have to see who is there Saturday morning, I guess.

Frank

[Little Caesar]

Frank,

Glad to hear it buddy, but I didn't mean to make you feel compromised. Do what you want and let's all have fun! Life is too freaking hard to cause anxiety over our 'getaways'.

Looking forward to seeing you next week!
Steve

[Little Caesar]

Guys,

I'm leaving tomorrow for the big show! Here's what I have as of now:

Po1: Frank
Po2: Terry W
Po3: Ron G
Wp1: Tom McKinney
Wp2: Spencer G.

R1: Sean Carson
R2: Mike Porter
R3: Bob Beattie
R4: Chris B
R5:John Svensson

I still have not heard any confrimation that Mike will NOT be there so am assuming he is.
It sure seemed back in February when I hatched this idea that I had plenty of time to manage it all but didn't feel that way on Tuesday night as I was working on terrain!

We start 9am Saturday. Does anyone know how a table for this thing is assigned? Do I just grab an empty one or does the DBA guru assign one? (Who is the DBA guru for Fall-In?)

See ya,
Steve

[David Schlanger]

Steve - Do you need a sign up sheet for your event? Is there still space?

DS

[Little Caesar]

Dave,

At least 9 of 10 slots are spoken for. If Mike P is coming, then all 10.

Steve

[Bob. (and his dog)]

In case you have not learned already, Roland is the DBA Guru for Fall In. If you are on his list (and you are) he will have a table for you :)

Do you have all the troops you need?

[Little Caesar]

Bob,

Thank you for the info and thanks for asking about the troops.

I have all troops. I am bringing dice and a few measuring devices but would probably bring my own if I was playing. (Seemed like I had more) I have copies of all the charts for everyone.

Looking forward to the whole weekend,
Steve

[Terry37]

Steve,

I'll bring my measuring stick, and dare I say it my Ever Glorious One Roller Blue Die!!!! Very much looking forward to your game and seeing how the attrition system works.

Terry

And you get a free weekend GM admission badge that happens to say Mike Porter on it.

[Tom McKinney]

A big thanks to Steve for putting the Utitsa scenario together. Excellent figures and terrain and a very competitive situation. Always a great crowd around the DBN table. Good to see everyone.

Tom

[Kontos]

I'll second Tom's post. Steve put a lot of effort into the scenario and it was a well displayed and competitive battle. Just one look around the table and you could see everyone was having a blast. I know I did.

Thanks Steve.

Frank

[Bob. (and his dog)]

A really great DBN event. Thanks to Steve for all the great work!!! As others have said, great figures and terrain. How is it possible to have so many friendly but competitive players in one game. We read about events having disharmony but this was a group of guys I would game with any time.

My only complaint was that the Russian Guard Cossacks were only a +2. There should have been a game rule that they were +5. It is a good thing I did not have two more, or the Russians would have lost by 1 :)

Winning or losing actually was not an issue. I had to leave a couple minutes early and thought the Russians had lost, but I DID NOT CARE, I had a such a fun time, all I thought about was the playing.

====================
There were a couple of questions that came up that we wanted to ask the authors. I remember 1 in particular
If a unit hits another on the flank, and the attacker has an element to its side, should this count as an overlap. The defender is not attacked to the front, and the overlap rules says overlaps only apply if that is the case. In DBN with the rule of not turning to face, the flank attack cannot get any support.

Also, did anyone find the rule that says back rank of attack column cannot be shot at, if front in combat?

Also, if an attack column, front and back rank, is in zone of control on their flank, but front is also in zoc to front, can both ranks attack the element to the front or is the back rank stopped?

Any other problems that came up?

[Terry37]

Although I am still recovering from the drive (12+ hours one way nonstop for me). I have to comment too on how great this game was and what an awesome job Steve did in putting it to together. This was my first time for attending Fall In, and this game was the kickoff of official things for me (not counting a great ECW game with Steve Friday morning), and I was honored to be playing with some great guys all, but especially Frank "Kontos" on my left flank and Ron G on my right flank, and Bob Beattie and Chris Brantley facing opposite us.

The game was a delight and the armies were super impressive! I do have to say a special thanks to Frank for doing the dirty work in taking the hill initially, so I could just casually walk up and sort of occupy it!!!!Well, that's not exactly how it happened, but may be how Frank was seeing it!!!! Bob's Cossack command fell dramatically under the pressure of the Ron's Polish cavalry did an excellent job of keeping them off my infantry command as I advanced. But I still had to face Bob's grenadiers at the top of the hill!!! Talk about fun!

Sorry I can't say much about the festivities going on at the other end of the field, but it looked equally as joyous shall we say!

Anyway, just wanted to say what a great game, and done just superbly Steve! Sincere thanks,

Terry

PS - I'll share a few pictures of the game soon.

[Little Caesar]

Thank you all for the kind words. It ended up being a lot of effort but in the end it was all worth it for me to see 10 guys huddled around the table for 4 hours.

I want to thank everyone for participating, especially when there are so many other events to choose from. In my mind it's the PLAYERS that make the game and I don't think it's too far from the mark to say that that is why we have such great DBN games at our East Cons. I've never gamed with better.

A special thanks to Terry who made all the uniform research so much easier. (Like shooting a message saying 'Hey Terry, what did the Polish 5th Chassuers look like?' and getting a color plate back in 20 minutes. Thanks so much for that.

Hoping to make it to Cold Wars and back to the Penninsula.

Leipzig next year?

Steve

PS: I will also be posting to my blog in the next few days.

[Spencer]

I had a great time Steve

Great scenario....well balanced....simple objectives that were very challenging to win for the Westphalians.

Also I thought you did a good job roaming around the battle field and helping players with remebering all the rules.

[Bob. (and his dog)]

Did anyone take, and post, pictures of the big DBN game at Fall In?

[Little Caesar]

Did anyone take, and post, pictures of the big DBN game at Fall In?

Bob,

I have some and now that Thanksgiving is come and gone, I should be able to post them on my blog soon. I will let everyone know.

Since I didn't play, I planned on getting lots of pics but when the action heated up, I did as I always do and forgot to keep snapping.

I do have about a dozen or so, including initial set-ups.

Look for them in the next day or so.

Steve

[Terry37]

Bob, I too have a number of photos of the game (and a GREAT game it was too!), but being the hyper-speed typist that I am, it takes me an eternity to get a report done. I will get them up as soon as I can. I ma just finishing up my ECW game with Steve, and also have the HitT battle with Matt to share.

Terry

PS - in my defense I must admit that our keyboard is the real problem as the letters are never where they're supposed ot be when I need them!!!!

[Bob. (and his dog)]

Good to know they are coming. I had been looking at the great pics that Tom K posted from the Ligny game. Not even labeled but the whole game was played out in the pics.

I wanted to relive our Fall in experience. I have no idea what happened on the Russian right, as I was so busy throwing my Cossacks away :)

[Terry37]

OK, Bob, I get the hint!

And I also must say a good job you did indeed of throwing those Cossacks away.

Terry

[Little Caesar]

OK, short report of our game is up on my blog:

http://huzzahespee.blogspot.com/2009/11/dbn-at-fall-in-part-1.html

Wish I had taken more pics.

BTW, don't know if this will work for you guys but when I click on the pics I get a bigger pic of course, but once I do I can click on them again and get an even bigger pic.

Enjoy,
Steve

[Kontos]

OK, Bob, I get the hint!

BTW, don't know if this will work for you guys but when I click on the pics I get a bigger pic of course, but once I do I can click on them again and get an even bigger pic.

Enjoy,
Steve
Well done, Steve, but you failed to mention Terry's picnic break as I was being mauled on the Utitsa mound! :D
