100 Years' War Campaign

Disbanding Armies

When a player's army is disbanded, all of his territories defend against siege as if there is an army present. For each city he loses, he must move one Kn element and two other elements from his standing army to his reserve.

Burgundian Special Moves

English Special Moves

Supply

Ravaged territories cannot provide supply. An army which just ravaged a territory is in supply no matter where it is.

Results of a Battle

Players receive extra prestige points as follows:

+1	for each element he destroyed using Kn
+1	for each subgeneral he destroyed

Participation by Allied Contingents

Allied contingents must be 3-6 elements, at the discretion of the allied player.

Tributary Rulers

All players except the King of France have a capital. The King may only be conquered by losing his last directly held territory. What happens then depends on who defeats him:

• If the conqueror is the English player or an independant Count of Flanders, the tributary to the King with the most territories and prestige points becomes the new King of France (it being assumed the King has fled to his most powerful noble's protection and set up court with a new favorite); the former King of France becomes a Duke or Count tributary to the conqueror. If the King has no tributaries, the conqueror becomes the King of France.
• If the conqueror is the Duke of Burgundy or is tributary to Burgundy, that player must renounce all tributary status and become the new King of France. The former King of France becomes a French noble tributary to him.
• If the conqueror is tributary to the English, he may choose either of the above.

Players who lose the French Crown count their sole remaining territory as their capital from that point forward, and begin with a 6-element Baronial French army (which must be rebuilt before it can give battle; see below).

Rebellion

A tributary player may declare a rebellion at any time. If the rebellion is not crushed before the same season (Summer, Spring, Autumn) of the next year, he may declare a new overlord. The Count of Flanders and the Duke of Burgundy may opt to become independant instead.

To crush a rebellion, an overlord must defeat the rebel army in battle or siege. If the rebellion is crushed, the rebel player loses his entire army, and must cede one of his remaining territories (except his capital) to his overlord as penance (the overlord may choose which one). The overlord also keeps all territories captured in the course of crushing the rebellion.

Conquest

+	all prestige points gained in battle
+1	for each territory under his personal control
+1	for each vassal tributary to the player
+3	for being King of France

Optional: Battle Rules Modifications

Below are some optional modifications to the battle rules to make the game feel more appropriate to the period:

• Bw elements do not suffer a -2 for being in bad going.
  This is just to make English longbowmen able to fight in bad terrain, as they did at Agincourt. I notice that the new DBA releases (1.2 and up) are already incorporating this change.

• Bw or Art may not shoot through any amount of blocking terrain (buildings, trees, hillcrests, etc.) between its front edge and the target.
  Just a fix to the shooting rules that should have been there all along, but which no one really thinks about until shooting elements are a dominant type. Note that this makes the type of bad going important, so make sure this gets declared when setting up battle fields.

• 15mm figures only: redefine 100p to be 40mm instead of 1 inch, and play on a 36" square table instead of a 24" square table.
  One problem with DBA is that Medieval units are all slow, and Medieval battles are really not much fun because maneuvering is so slow and plodding. Since Medieval units are also smaller than their ancient equivalents, increasing the ratio of ground scale to unit size makes some logical sense. Mostly, though, this modification should make the game move faster and feel more fun and exciting.

• Count an extra overlap against Cb shot at by English Lb.
  This is so that English Lb really can outshoot those ubiquitous French Cb units.

• DBA version 1.22 or later: Kn which moved into contact with a Lb front edge or front corner this bound are destroyed if beaten.
  Version 1.22 introduces the ability for Kn to quick-kill Bd, making the English 100YW army extremely vulnerable. In real life, English Lb were interspersed with the Bd and rained arrows on anyone trying to get into contact. In DBA, however, Kn can move farther than Bw can shoot, allowing a French army to charge Kn into the Bd without ever being shot. This rule mitigates this problem, as long as the English stay formed up and aren't attacked in the rear.
