If I understand correctly, Phil Barker wrote DBM. I can't believe that the
same person that wrote WRG 7th could write another rules set in clear english.
Does DBM not have any rules interp problems? >>

Please do not misunderstand- the furthest thing from my mind here was to
start a DBM vs 7th battle. I AM trying to switch back. I played from 4th on,
only very reluctantly switched to the DBs, about 3 years after it was
fashionable, and still feel that they are too abstract and artificial. (In
simplest terms, in 7th when Huscarles smash into pikes I picture a clash of
arms, in DBM I only see '6 vs 5'. )
However these excrutiating, tiresome rules debates will sour anyone. And
they do seem to uniquely plague this system more than others. DBM's
weakness, that it is too geometric and analytical compared to the free form
movement of 7th. is also its stength from the standpoint of rules.
And i do think people were getting way too carried away with this
apparently simple question, and beating it beyond all necessity.
