D B A C W

These rules are designed for a Division or Corp level game they are easy to learn, fast to play and encapsulate the tactics and unique spirit of the American Civil War. They have been inspired by the success of our DBN rules and one of the many distinctive features of these rules is a straightforward system for the deployment of flank marches and reserves. DBACW in our opinion is ideal for fighting the big historical battles like Gettysburg or for recreating the major campaigns of the period.

These rules can not be used without the use or knowledge of DBN or DBA

Scale. The figure scale is that of one infantry elements equates to a battalion of 400 – 500 men, therefore a Brigade of 2000 men is represented on the table top by 4 to 5 infantry elements and a Commander. A cavalry element represents a regiment of 300 - 400 men and an artillery element represents 8 - 12 guns. The basic ‘Army’ is therefore equivalent to a division or group of brigades commanded by a Divisional Commander who, in the basic game, is known as the CinC.

These rules are fast, simple and well researched. They are designed to capture the spirit of grand tactics in the early years of the war, from ‘Blitzkrieg’1940 to the battles of the Western Desert in 1941 and 1942.
