Download the QRS

By kind permission of the author and publishers, we are able to offer a download of the DBMM v2 Quick Reference Sheet for the personal use of DBMM players and their opponents. Note of course that the QRS is a summary of the rules and the actual published rules are still needed to cover all the exceptions that the QRS doesn't cover. This is revision 2_03 of the QRS and includes all errors so far reported.

News

Welcome to dbmm.org.uk

This website is an unofficial website for the De Bellis Magistrorum Militum (DBMM) set of ancient wargaming rules, written by Phil Barker and published by WRG. The site and any of the opinions expressed on it are not endorsed by either Phil Barker or WRG (unless otherwise stated), although so far he hasn't complained about anything on here either and has permitted us to add some official information such as the latest version of the QRS.

Linked from here, you will find various other web assets for DBMM. The largest of these, although possibly a little daunting for the unwary is the Yahoo Group for DBMM. This is the main development forum for DBMM, but be warned, the signal to noise ratio can be quite low and the debates can get pretty heated. If you raise something on there and get flamed, its probably not really aimed at you - the issue has almost certainly been raised before and people will assume that you are trolling.

More gentle, especially for the new player is the DBMM Forum. This is moderately well categorised and people tend to be a lot politer in answering questions on here.

There is also a link to the DBMM Wiki, maintained by Rob Brennan, which contains a useful repository of errata, battle reports, sample army lists etc.
