As a player of many systems, I can say DBM uses aggression well by having it be
the factor that determines attacker and defender for terrain placement and first
move. Each army has an aggression factor and that added to a die roll at start
before terrain placement determines who "attacks". Attacker then determines
type of attack terrain:
to use DBM :
1. 0-4 FE (feature equivilants) of entirely steep hills with a road through
them (placed across center section of board with each hill mass rolled for, or
2. A waterway (if on defender list, with adjacent BUA placed by defender)
3. A river across board from long side to long side.
4. None of these
Defender then places any mandatory terrain up to max of 2-3 FE.
An attacker that did not place terrain can then roll for a small terrain piece
similar to a depression.
Once used once or twice, this is a quick placement. The terrain is placed by
rolling first a d6 to determine which 1/6 of the board it falls in and then a
second d6 determines how far it must be placed from another feature, this allows
pieces to be removed if they do not fit.
Nice factor is that terrian is based on army list so no army ends with terrain
they "historically" did not have in their home turf.
Attacker has first bound.
