You mean you haven't memorised the reaction test modifiers off by heart ? What a part-timer
When I was eleven I probably had! HoweverI have spent decades attempting to kill off as many brain cells as possible and the ones holding WRG data seem to have got the chop

We played so much that we even knew the CPF chart for 7th Ed off by heart. I can still remember most of it.

I've been trying to get hold of a proper copy of 6th Edition as mine has gone 'walk-about'. Does anyone know of any new old stock there or have a copy they'd let go?
Might have, certainly used to. Let me check the East Wing’s lower basement. I may be a day.
Edit> nope, looks like I sold it. Sorry.
Did find some DBM stuff, now going up on the sales thread

Pffff....7th Edition was like a sojourn in the South of France after the plague and mosquito infested jungle that was 6th.

Thanks for looking it's mainly a nostalgia thing to rebuild the armies and rules I started out with in 1981/2!
DBM I still have 2 editions of the rules and all the lists. We played it to death in the '90's and I really enjoyed it.

If it was something you'd be prepared to let go, let me know

DBM and DBA were great, I’d still play them at the drop of a hat.

As an aside- how many points are we striving towards?
Not my period, but I believe one per stick is the accepted norm*.
(* Worth bearing in mind that the principal accepted Norm on this website, kills celebrities in his spare time, experiments on primates, and offers blood sacrifices to the north-eastern deity Wye Aye Mun.......)

I'm going for 1000 initially since that is a small game-able force. Will probably end up in the 1500-2000 area
