The result of some bored Sunday purchasing plopped onto the mat today. I got DBA 3 (softback edition), Son of Arthur and Merlin and lots of MDF bases, mainly the wrong size for some inexplicable reason.

Did your copy have any of the following defects:
  • Off centre cover - cropped on the right
  • Lots of white space at the bottom of the page but a line close to the last text on each page
  • Wonky diagrams - look at the "bases" that are not perpendicular to the page edges
  • Error in Fleeing - see below supposedly corrected before mine was printed
Mine did!

All caused by Sue's resizing of the source pdf without reformatting. Lulu just scaled to the new page size (bar the cover which is cropped) and added new page numbers (hence the white space/line issue).

DBA v3.0 (Hardback, page 12)
It stops before completing its move and lines up if its front edge (or front corner only) contacts any of: (a) enemy (whom it will fight next bound), (b) friends it cannot pass through (as specified on p.9), (c) a city, fort or camp, (d) a waterway, or (e) for troops other than Psiloi or Light Horse, any bad going except marsh it is not already at least partly in.

DBA v3.0 (Paperback)
It stops if its front edge (or front comer only) contacts any of: (a) enemy (whom it will fight next bound), (b) friends it cannot pass through (as specified on p.ll), (c) a city, fort or camp, (d) a waterway, or (e) for troops other than Psiloi or Light Horse, any bad going it is not already at least partly in.

I think that's a load of hogwarts.
