The flags were painted yesterday and added to their
respective elements. Not all regiments have flags as these serve to identify brigades, useful when creating “commands” for our big battle games. The
composition of brigades follows as close to its historical example.
From a distance, the elements are nearly identical
until one takes a closer look to examine the skin tone. Historically, European
battalions were brigaded with two or more Native battalions. European and
Native Cavalry were likewise brigaded together.
The collection numbers 43 elements of European and
Native infantry (4Ms) and Rifles and Gurkhas serving as skirmishers (2Jgr),
both European and Native cavalry (3Cv), 4 cannon (Cn) and 2 artillery (Art) elements.
Four Generals complete the total.

Photo three, the reserve division.
Photo four, the cavalry.

I have considered adding more mounted to bring their numbers
up. Most likely these will be the lance armed irregular cavalry which served in
all three Presidencies. The long kurta, turban and cummerbund followed some
uniformity, being mostly red, green or yellow (Skinner’s Horse).
DBA-HX upgrade
This past month, we adapted the latest draft version
of DBA 3.0 and I must say this worked better than expected. The subtle change
in combat result, the solid and fast distinction, and flank support allow for troop
qualities without the unnecessary fiddling of combat factors. We are still
experimenting with this. Any reporting will be posted to the Fanaticus Forum,
section DBA in the Age of Gunpowder.
Cheers,
