DBM Expansion Chart

The following chart is a quick reference sheet outlining the capabilities of various 15mm scale troop types to expand from column. It should eliminate the need to measure those fiddly distances during a game. The chart has movement listed across the top and element base depth on the left vertical. It has been categorised using imperial units with the diagrams detailed in millimetres for a reason (refer bottom).

The chart has been imported into a Word 97 document for ease of printing.

Considering that players have the choice of using either Imperial or Metric measurements in DBM games, there are a few cases in the above chart that have been included despite exceeding the use of metric conversion of 25mm per 50 paces. For example, refer to Cv chariots (40x40mm bases) expanding 5" from column. The last element in the column can form into line by moving 126mm. This is legal using the Imperial conversion of 1" per 50p but not the Metric.
