05/02/2009 It has come to our attention that there is a minor but critical 'typo error' in DBN v2.1, ATTRITION PLAYSHEET , TACTICAL FACTORS. It is that the Horse Artillery Combat Factor is +3 and +3 not as printed +2 and +3. Sorry for that.

The Special Rule for the British Light Division in DBN v2.1 has proved to be 'awkward to use to a benefit' therefore the following rule amendment for the British Light Division should be used:

D.3          Command & Control.   The Light Division has its own unique Sub Commander known as a Divisional Sub Commander (DSC). This Commander is free of charge, with a Divisional Command Radius of 400 Paces and is represented by a single command figure (Black Bob Craufurd ?) on an ADC size base. This unique DSC does not have a CAP Dice Throw but has an intrinsic 3 CAP’s for every game turn to be used on his Division only, the CinC can also allocate him CAP’s in the usual way. 

 D.4          Army Lists.   The Light Division is in addition to the standard selections for the British Peninsular Army.  If it is used the full formation must be paid for and the only exception to the Army Lists is that no other Ms/LI(E) and Jg(E) can be included and the minimum number of Ms(British) is reduced by 2.

           D.4.1   Years 1810-12:

1xMs/LI(E), 1xJg(E), 1xJg (Cacadores), 1xSC, 1xHA(M) – 6 Pts

 D.4.2   Years 1813-14:

 1xMs/LI, 2xJg(E), 1xJg (Cacadores), 1xSC, 1xHA(M) – 7 Pts

D.5     Army List Notes.

 D.5.1   The Jg(E) units are the 95th Rifles who were highly trained and able to form into close order when required.       Therefore the 2 x Jg(E) can combine together to form 1 x LI(E) using the same rule as Superior Light Infantry when they convert from Light Infantry to Muskets or visa versa, except that both Units of Jg(E) must in base to base contact in order to   convert.   This may be useful when in the open and threatened by cavalry or if required to defend a BUA or Fortification.

 D.5.2   The SC is the 1st Hussars KGL who were permanently attached to the Division.  They were a very highly trained regiment, and so the SC status is a reflection of both the way in which they were usually deployed, ie skirmishing, and a reflection of the fact that they were only a single regiment.

 D.5.3   The HA(M) represents Bull’s Troop RHA who, like the 1st Hussars KGL, were permanently attached to the Division.  The Militia (M) status is a reflection of their size and not their ability.
