Baggage amendments - posted by Andrew Bennetts, 20 May 2020

Baggage Amendments for Pukekohe One Dayer
Following a discussion on the international DBMMList group (https://groups.io/g/DBMMlist/topics) we are going to trial some minor changes to the DBMM baggage rules.
The intent is to encourage a return to using Bge(O) as the default, rather then the current situation where everyone tends to prefer Bge(I/F).
This would:
  1. Solve inconsistencies and AP inequities for those armies that are only allowed Bge(O) at present.
  2. Encourage the return of camp dioramas which tend to provide better modelling opportunities than mobile baggage.
  3. Encourage experimenting with fortified camps, which generally seem to be considered too expensive to bother with at existing points values
The proposals are:
  1. Bge(O) will be priced the same as the equivalent Bge(I). I.e. Irreg Bge(O) @ 1AP and Reg Bge(O) @ 2AP
  2. An army without Bge(O) can exchange Regular Bge(I/F) for Regular Bge(O) and Irregular Bge(I/F) for Irregular Bge(O)
  3. An army currently without Baggage in their list at all (there are a few!) can include Irreg Bge(O)
As per the current rules (p18), any Bge(O) can always be fielded as Bge(I) on a game by game basis for no change in points.
