Hi been trying this set of rules and a couple of queries arise which I have posted on the DKK forum but with no response thus far (very quiet forum overall) So posting here in hope a DKK player has answers ?
To whit :-
Had a game of DKK recently (see entry 21/4/16 at sgtsteiner.blogspot.com ) and few issues arise with contradictions in rules/QRS which seem to have no answers on forum so wondering how those currently (?) using DKK play ?
1. Rules clearly state that units Test Morale after suffering 10% of original strength however all versions of QRS I can find say test at 25% suffered in single turn ??
Personally I now think it's 10% with -2 for reaching 25% but not clear
2. When do units Reform from Unformed/Falter ?
Rules again clearly state unit Reforms at Start or End respectively of NEXT movement phase but QRS state Reform after 1 full TURN of inactivity ?
If a unit Falters when trying to charge does it 'skip' 2 move phases and reform at end of movement phase of following turn or does it reform at end of movement phase of same turn ?
However when a unit that Tests Morale at end of turn for shooting casualties and suffers a Falter it would seem to Reform at end of Movement phase of following turn which in this case is also next movement phase.
Unclear as to intent of rules here?
3. Melee outcomes supercede need for seperate Morale Test at end of turn but if a Brigade Test is required does its result supercede Melee outcome ?
EG a Cav unit wins a Melee and its Pursuit test yields a must pursue or uncontrolled charge result, however a Brigade a Test on its Brigade yields a Retire result for Brig which outcome takes effect ?
I feel it is a real pity that DKK has such poor online support as it is a good set of rules but so in need of a FAQ and Erratta.
I don't have a background in GDB (only Deluxe) from which I suspect a lot of rules are copy/pasted so don't know if these issues are resolved/exsist therein ?
