As some of you may have seen in the news section last week I am working on DoB5.
Here is a little insight.

ZONES
Day of Battle Fifth Edition is now played on a squared table top. No rulers needed. The size of the square (zone) should be a little larger that the standard unit size of the players army. I base my 28mm units on bases 120mm wide and 30mm to 80mm deep depending on the troop type being represented. I use a 6″ x 6″ zone.
HOW TO COMMAND YOUR UNITS
Play is done one Battle Line (Battle) at a time. When all the Battles on a side have finished play then either goes to the other side or returns to the start of the game turn.
Each side has their own card deck, made up of a full 54 deck of playing cards plus the jokers.
To activate a unit the player draws a playing card and places it at the rear of the unit. The card values are as follows.
The Ace – 1 fail.
Numbered 2-10 – actual value of the card.
Face – 10.
Joker – actual value needed.
Units can be activated up to three times per turn. Each activation card must be greater than the last played on it.
The first activation must be a "2" or greater"
Upon a failure the Battle's turn is over.
