Sorting Out the 'New World'.

Looking at my stash of Spanish Renaissance figures I managed to put together a DBA-RRR 1.41 Spanish Colonial army (12 elements).  Painting commenced - then I thought about the 'DBA in the New World' rules set.  Would it be possible to combine the two?

My first step was to look at troop basing.  The listing in the DBR (v1.1) book is in an interesting order so I worked out a grid that I prefered.

  DBR – 25mm scale        Frontage – 60mm
       

Depth	Troop Type	No. per base
60	Artillery (I), (F) or (X)	1 to 2
60	Artillery (S) or (O)	1
60	Baggage
30	Blades (S), (O), (F) or (I)	3
20	Blades (not F) – alternative	3
120	Boats (S) or (F)	1
120	Boats (O) or (I)	2 to 4
30	Bows (S) or (O)	3
30	Bows (I)	3
40	Camelry (S) or (O)	2
40	Camelry (F)	1
60	Dragoons	3
80	Elephants	1
120	Galleys	1
40	Hordes	5 to 8
40	Lancers	2
40	Light Horse	1
30	Pikes	4
20	Pikes (alternative)	4
40	Pistols (S),(O) or (I)	3
40	Pistols (F)	2
120	Pontoneers
120	Ships	1
30	Shot	3
40	Sipahis	2
30	Skirmishers	1
30	Warband	3
20	Warband (S) – alternative	3
120	War Wagons	1

Next was to look at the DNW troop definitions:

Artillery
Blades
Camp Followers / BUA  Denizens
Cavalry
Elephants
Lancers                                       "Knights are simply renamed as Lancers"
Light Horse
Litter
Pikes
Shooters                                    "Treat Shooters as DBA Bows"
Skirmishers
Spears
War dogs                                   "Warband has only been retained for War Dogs"

European troops - Bd(E) or Sh(E) - 3 or 4 per base [author prefers 3]
Natives - if DBx (3 or 4), author prefers 5 to 8 (as Horde), alternative - 2 x DBx (6 to 8)
